Revisiting the Origin of Species
How important is Charles Darwin/Alfred Russel Wallace’s Theory of Natural Selection/Evolution? Find out Saturday, April 27 at the Gardiner Library community room, 133 Farmers Turnpike, from 2 - 3:30 p.m.

Why are scientists still investigating evolution in animals and plants 165 years after Charles Darwin published his first book, On the Origin of Species? After brief talks by several scientists, children present will investigate how Darwin’s finches in the Galapagos Islands react to changes in their food supply.

How did society react in 1859 to the publication of the book? How do people now think of evolution? How does a scientific theory differ from what ordinary people call a theory? What is a species? Darwin and Wallace thought evolution affected only individuals – what do scientists now think?
