On Wednesday, February 25 we are celebrating the bicentenary of Charles Darwin’s birth in 1809, a man who is on any account one of greatest intellectual and scientific minds since Newton. The aim of my talk will be to celebrate Darwin’s epochal scientific achievement, by describing his amazingly wide-ranging mind, his extraordinarily observant and meticulous scientific work in botany and zoology, his equally impressive achievement in developing the scientifically and socially revolutionary notion of the origin and evolution of species through natural selection, his still unacknowledged and equally innovative view of the intelligence and ethics, in animals as well as humans, and, last but not least, a Darwinian view of religion and God. Throughout I wish to communicate to everyone the grandeur and beauty of Darwin’s scientific achievement in ethics as well as evolution.

Dr. Vincent di Norcia provided us with some notes from his lecture.  You can read them here: (more…)
