Abstract
2009 was Darwin’s year. Throughout the world, but above all in Britain, national programs of celebration were organized to commemorate Charles Darwin’s life, times, scientific ideas, and their impact. The Darwin200 venerations were especially heady between his 200th birthday, on February 12, and the 150th anniversary of the publication of the Origin of Species, on November 24.
