Evolution :biggrin: Perhaps we can turn this into an educational thread for future reference? I'll start off and add more.
From the National Human Genome Research Institute.
February 12, 2009, marked the 200th birthday of Charles Darwin (1809-1882) and the 150th year since publication of his seminal work, On the Origin of Species. The renowned 19th century naturalist made observations on plant and animal life that set science on a new course, introducing evolution as the unifying concept in all of genetics and biology. Students of U.S. history will note that the date is also the 200th birthday of U.S. President Abraham Lincoln.
"The National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) observed Darwin's life and accomplishments at events at the NIH's Bethesda campus and at the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of Natural History. Hear what geneticists at NHGRI have to say about Darwin's ideas, science and legacy.

Watch Darwin at 200: How Geneticists View Him Today by listening and watching this video from The National Human Genome Research Institute: http://www.genome.gov/Multimedia/Flash/videoPlayerCC.cfm?videoID=Darwin200
Does anyone have a "Tree of Life" he or she might like to share? Got any new news about evolution?:smile: Anything from peer-reviewed journals Nature or Science?
