News Special: Darwin 200

Darwin 200
The 200th anniversary of the birth of Charles Robert Darwin falls on 12
February 2009. Darwin was arguably the most influential scientist of modern
times. No single researcher has since matched his collective impact on the
natural and social sciences; on politics, religions, and philosophy; on art
and cultural relations, and in ways that the man himself would never have
imagined. This Nature news special will provide continuously updated news,
research and analysis on Darwin's life, his science and his legacy, as well
as news from the Darwin200 consortium of organizations celebrating this
landmark event.
