Darwin Year

The Balearic Islands join the celebration.

2009 has been declared Darwin Year to commemorate the bicentennial birthday of the English Naturalist Charles Darwin and the sesquicentennial of publication of his book "The Origin of Species" in which he presented his theories of natural selection and evolution.

The UIB and the Balearic Government, together with Sa Nostra, have joined this celebration by organising Darwin Year on the Balearic Islands. The aim is to offer to the citizens of the island the chance to get in contact with the Darwin heritage.
