Darwin Day 2020

Darwin Day is a celebration of all things biology and is observed annually on the 12th of February, to coincide with the birthday of Charles Darwin, the father of evolutionary biology. We're going to do a Hari Ini Dalam Sejarah on Charles Darwin today, that preeminent thinker whose insights on the natural world continue to lead to new discoveries even to this day.
