Darwin Day takes place on the 12th of February every year, commemorating the birth of the famed naturalist Charles Darwin. It’s a day that celebrates scientific endeavour and the curiosity that drives humanity to explore and understand the natural world.

This day is not just about Darwin himself, but about the broader themes of scientific discovery, the diversity of life, and the importance of preserving our natural heritage. It’s an opportunity to spark discussions on evolution, natural selection, and how these concepts continue to influence modern science.

  • Darwin’s Discoveries: Highlight Charles Darwin’s contributions to science, perhaps with interesting facts or lesser-known insights.
