It's A Darwin - Win - Situation

This year we are celebrating the courage and genius of Charles Darwin. It's been 200 years since his birth and 150 since he explained his revolutionary idea of evolution and the origin of species. So here are some cool Darwinian sites with lots of good graphics and info.

The BBC have been making some excellent programs and have been generous with on-line content at their BBC Darwin Pages.

You can also find the BBC's lovely visualisation of evolution on planet earth at the Wellcome Trust Darwin site.

Science News have produced a good evolution timeline. It has a slide bar control and some neat graphics. You may have to scroll down a bit to find the controls...

Project Steve: although we have been evolving for about 3.5 billion years and Darwin explaind his ideas one and a helf centuries ago, it seems that some people still haven't quite got the gist yet... Project Steve is a sort of serious 'joke' about a very important issue.

This is the first model of DNA as visualised by Crick and Watson in 1953. Fifty years later, the Human Gnome Project had mapped out our DNA, building upon, and further confirming the ideas first put forward by Darwin.

Go on, evolve. You know you want to!
