As you probably already know, Abraham Lincoln was born on this date in 1809. But that’s not all: also born on that day, in that same year, was the father of evolution himself, Charles Darwin.
In honor of that fact, February 12th is International Darwin Day: a day to celebrate the life and work of one of the most famous geek dads of all time. So take a moment today to reflect on the millions of years of natural selection that made you what you are today. To see if there are any Darwin Day events in your area check The International Darwin Day Foundation.
