Happy Birthday, Charles Darwin

February 12 is the 200th anniversary of the birth of Charles Darwin, the British naturalist who theorized that evolution was driven by natural selection.

We have at Waldo Library many of Darwin's published works, including various editions of Darwin's "big four" : The Descent of Man, The Expression of Emotions in Man and Animal, The Origin of Species, and Voyage of the Beagle.

Also here is a list of all the works by Darwin in the library's holdings. You can also create this list by searching in the library catalog for "Darwin, Charles" as the *author.*

We also have many books about Darwin. You can create this list by searching in the library catalog for "Darwin, Charles" as the *subject heading.*
