Hello everyone,

today is Charles Darwin's 200th birthday (thanks to the reminder via twitter
@gracechua). Lots is happening around the globe; see:
http://www.darwinday.org/

To commemorate the 200th anniversary of Darwin's birth and the 150th
anniversary of the publication of On the Origin of Species, Stanford
University initiated a Stanford Continuing Studies course called Darwin's
Legacy (DAR 200) in September 2008. Part of the motivation of this was to
increase literacy in the theory of evolution, inescapable in the environment
of what Time magazine called "The Evolution Wars."

Stanford video-recorded this series that included many speakers from around
the country who explore Darwin's legacy in fields as diverse as
anthropology, religion, medicine, psychology, philosophy, literature, and
biology.

The Darwin's Legacy series is available on iTunes and on YouTube as well:

Have fun watching, downloading and listening to these entertaining lectures
on some of those long bus journeys!

Cheerio!
