Bicentenary of Charles Robert Darwin’s birth (1809 - 1882)
On the 12th of February 2009, the Ministry of Information and Communications (MIC) issues the stampset: “Bicentenary of Charles Robert Darwin's birth (1809 - 1882)” consisting of 01 value of 2,000d.
Charles Robert Darwin was born on February 12, 1809 in Shrewsbury, Shropshire, England. He was the fifth child of a wealthy and sophisticated English family and second son of Robert Waring Darwin and Susannah Wedgwood.
Darwin was the British naturalist who became famous for his theories of evolution and natural selection. His 1859 book “On the Origin of Species” established evolutionary descent with modification as the dominant scientific explanation of diversification in nature. After publication of “On the Origin of Species” , Darwin continued to write on botany, geology, and zoology until his death in 1882.
The importance of his work was well recognized by his contemporaries; Darwin was elected to the Royal Society (1839) and the French Academy of Sciences (1878). He was also honored by burial in Westminster Abbey after he died in Down, Kent, on April 19, 1882.
