On February 12th 2009, the world will mark the 200th birthday of Charles Darwin. There are many events which have been organised to commemorate this day. The BBC are broadcasting a new documentary series based on the life and works of Darwin, hosted by Sir David Attenborough; Darwin's home, Downe House, will become a World Heritage Site; the HMS Beagle is being rebuilt; Cambridge will play host to a number of Darwin exhibits and events throughout 2009 - and many other events are on the cards.
As Darwin fans, we at the Frog Blog will be joining-in the celebrations by posting a series of short pieces about the life and works of the great man. We start tomorrow with "the Early Years".
