BBBk4''''D   History Charles Darwin had substantially documented his theory of evolution by natural selection as early as 1844 and again in 1857(1 Janet Browne) but unfortunately he had procrastinated for years and had not yet moved to publish his theory together with the supporting evidence when he received an essay from Alfred Russel Wallace in June 1858. In fact, it was this essay describing virtually the same theory of evolution by natural selection that prompted an immediate decision by Hooker and Lyell to have both mens findings read at the upcoming meeting of the Linnean Society on Thursday, July 1, 1858 (1 Janet Browne). There was little immediate impact at this time from the presentation of these radical ideas. The following year Darwin provided the first coherent (scientific) theory of  HYPERLINK "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolution" \o "Evolution" evolutionevolution by the mechanism means of natural selection  HYPERLINK "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_selection" \o "Natural selection" natural selection in his, now famous publication entitled, On the Origin of Species in 1859 (David, can you make On the Origin, a link?). He published his theories after  HYPERLINK "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfred_Russel_Wallace" \o "Alfred Russel Wallace" Alfred Russel Wallace proposed a theory of natural selection, which prompted Charles Darwin to publish his own more developed and researched theory sooner than he had intended. Wallace was also became one of the leading evolutionary thinkers of the 19th century who made a number of other additional contributions to the development of evolutionary theory, but however, Darwin's excellent writing skills and extensive accumulation of data high social position gave him preeminence among scientists. The theory has had far-reaching implications in almost all scientific disciplines and has rocked the very foundation of our knowledge base. Human civilizations has have been deeply affected by Darwin's work, with over 150 years of evidence collected that supports his initial findings. Modification and refinement to the details of the theory continue among contemporary scientists, particularly in the current field of genomics.

After a complex history for the next 100 years that included a girls school and a museum, administered by the British Association for the Advancement of Science the property was purchased by British Heritage in 1996 (site the BH booklet).

Over 650 students, faculty and members of the general public attended. This first annual event was sponsored by the Stanford Humanists (link to the poster and student group the HC Archive page?) and had its origins in 1994 when, as President of the Humanist Community (link to HC) Dr. Robert Stephens suggested Darwin Day, as a Modern Celebration, for Humanism. A task force was immediately set up for the purpose of developing the Celebration, with Sandy Gardner as chair. Financial assistance was obtained through a grant from the James Hervey Johnson Charitable Educational Trust to the Humanist Community. It was the hard work of this committee that produced the first annual Darwin Day Event. The success of this pioneering event was followed in 1996 with Dr. Richard Dawkins and in 1997 with Nobel laureate Dr. Paul Berg as the speakers. These high profile initial celebrations fostered immediate interest by Humanists, Secularists and other Free-thought organizations around the world. The Community continues to sponsor an annual DD celebration (link to the HC Darwin Day history) and this success and tradition prompted Stephens to form a non-profit corporation first incorporated in New Mexico and known as the Darwin Day Program and subsequently reincorporated in California where it is formally known as the Darwin Day Celebration (link to the history page of DDC), Stephens has been the President of the DD corporation form it inception and its mission has been to promote the celebration of Darwin, science and humanity through outreach to existing organizations such as universities, museums, libraries, churches and private parties etc, worldwide (link to our Mission Statement). Darwin Day Celebration maintains an educational website  HYPERLINK "http://www.darwinday.org" www.darwinday.org where participants can find assistants and register their events (link to our registration page) In 2007 over 850 events were registered on the DDC website including those from at least 14 countries. Darwin Day is now recognized as an authentic annual celebration, intent on promoting a common bond among all people of the earth! It is also clear that not all DDC events are registered on the DDC website thus, the celebration has taken on a constructive life of its own for which its originator is immensely pleased!
