Darwin Day is an international celebration of science and humanity, usually held on February 12th, Charles Darwin's birthday. In addition to information on Darwin's life and legacy,, on the Darwin Day website one can find short statements and essays that provide the scientific rationale for celebrating Darwin, science, and humanity. Since Abraham Lincoln was also born on February 12th, 1809 (the same day and year as Darwin), the site also has a section devoted to essays and articles specifically addressing the legacies of both men.
