"The Many Lives of Charles Darwin"

Time: 6:00 p.m.

Place: University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology

Janet Browne, Aramont Professor in the History of Science at Harvard University, is author of the critically acclaimed two-volume biography, Charles Darwin: Voyaging (1995), covering the naturalist's youth and years on HMS Beagle, and Charles Darwin: The Power of Place (2002), about his post-Beagle years through the publication of his theory of evolution and beyond. In this program, Dr. Browne shares what she believes is most important about the life and work of Charles Darwin—and why his influence continues to resound 150 years after the printing of his seminal work, On the Origin of Species.

The program is co-sponsored by Penn Museum, the University of Pennsylvania’s School of Arts and Sciences, School of Medicine, School of Engineering, and the Provost's Office as part of the Year of Evolution program.
