Description

Join Washtenaw Community College biology professor David A. Wooten for an insightful and unique seminar on the life and legacy of Charles Darwin.

This talk will include the display and discussion of Wooten's private collection of antique books published by Darwin, as well as other historical publications that influenced Darwin in the formation of his theory of evolution. This is a rare opportunity to see the original works and hear the story of an English naturalist that sailed around the world and forever changed our understanding of the natural world.

Participants will have an opportunity to view the antique collection up close, along with other historical antiques related to Darwin. See www.darwinlecture.com for more information on the antiquarian collection.
