The following is a compilation of ten articles about English naturalist Charles Darwin, upon the two hundredth anniversary of his birth and the one hundred fiftieth anniversary of the publication of his landmark book “On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection.”


Charles Darwin was born on February 12, 1809, in the town of Shrewsbury, Shropshire, England.

In 1859, after two decades of analyzing, researching, and developing his hypothesis, he published his world-renown book “On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life,” on November 24, 1859.

He later shortened the title to “On the Origin of Species.”

The Complete Works of Charles Darwin Online is found at Darwin-Online.org.uk.

Now on to nine written articles and one video article recently written and produced about Charles Darwin:

1. The New York Times: “Darwin, Ahead of His Time, Is Still Influential” by Nicholas Wade (February 9, 2009)

Within the article, Mr. Wade states, “Darwin’s thinking about evolution was not only deep, but also very broad. He was interested in fossils, animal breeding, geographical distribution, anatomy and plants. “That very comprehensive view allowed him to see things that others perhaps didn’t,” says Robert J. Richards, a historian at the University of Chicago.”

Page two continues with additional thought-provoking articles about Charles Darwin.
