In honor of Charles Darwin's 200th birthday, please read this editorial. Feel free to supplement this editorial with any other information or timely articles.
Darwin was a famous scientist.... As humanities students (and humans), what responsibility do we have for the understanding of science? What role should scientific inquiry and scientific knowledge play in our own society? How should science influence our decisions, laws, and culture?
PS—Yes, I know that it's also Abe Lincoln's birthday, but I thought it might be interesting to change the subject a little, since we've already done so much with him... If you'd much rather write about Lincoln, that will work too.
PPS—Both Abraham Lincoln and Charles Darwin had luxurious, beautiful, manly beards. And, so does your humanities teacher. Coincidence? Or is there a relationship waiting to be discovered?
