Charles Darwin 200th Birthday Lecture
In Collaboration with the Carnegie Museum of Natural History
Janet Browne's lecture honors the 200th anniversary of Darwin's birth and the 150th anniversary of the publication of The Origin of Species. Browne's in-depth two-volume biography of Darwin, Voyaging (1995) and The Power of Place (2002), "deserves the adjectives of praise traditionally used by reviewers to describe masterpieces," says Stephen Jay Gould. Browne spent 17 years editing Darwin's correspondence and her work integrates Darwin’s science with his life and times. She is Aramont professor of the history of science at Harvard and at work on a visual and cultural history of the gorilla.
