The wide-variety of organisms that formed on the North American continent, later evolved into the present myriad of life-forms that inhabit this corner of the world. During the mid-nineteenth century an English scientist put forth an explanation for our planet’s diversity of life—a fascinating theory of evolution that shook the Victorian Age to its core and still reverberates to this day. 1859 witnessed the seminal publication of «On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life» by Charles Robert Darwin. International Darwin Day is celebrated annually on February 12th (the birthday of Charles Darwin, 1809-82) to commemorate his foundational contributions to science, particularly the theory of evolution by natural selection, and to honor the "Father of Evolution" for transforming the understanding of life and the interconnectedness of species.
