Abstract
2009 is a double anniversary celebrating the 200 years birthday of Charles Darwin and the 150 years anniversary of the publication of his book "On the origin of species". The origin of some of the ideas as presented by Charles Darwin and the actual circumstances surrounding the publication of the book are less well known. I will present some of this information and suggest how we can learn from these events.
