The 200th anniversary of the birth of Charles Darwin is being marked with a special lecture at the University.

In celebration of the Darwin anniversary, Dr Morden鈥檚 illustrated lecture will explore some of the ways in which the theory of evolution has influenced our culture and shaped both literature and painting since the publication of Darwin鈥檚 work The Origin of Species in 1859.
