Commemorating
Darwin
Abstract
In 2009 there will be many
celebrations of Charles Darwin's life and work --the
year is simultaneously the bicentenary of his birth
and the 150th anniversary of the publication of the
Origin of Species--. The coming events will naturally
focus on the rise of evolutionary science and
consolidation of the modern scientific method as well as
Darwin's still-controversial position in world
ideologies. This illustrated address will look back at
the various ways in which Darwin has been celebrated in
previous anniversaries and explore, from a sociological
perspective, his current status as an icon of science.
