About UCs Year of Darwin 2009 Evolution: Evidence & Impact
Throughout our year-long celebration of the bicentennial of Darwins birth and the sesquicentennial of the On the Origin of Species, we hope to communicate the many contemporary applications of
- Darwins theory of evolution by common descent,
- the breadth of Darwins research and its ramifications,
- the truth of Darwins work as a cornerstone of modern science and
- the multiple applications of evolutionary theory throughout UC research.
A network of contacts throughout Ohios public state universities has been established and many of their events and programs with Darwin and evolution themes are posted and linked from our Web site, as are a number of other events at participating colleges and universities in the Greater Cincinnati Consortium of Colleges and Universities (GCCCU) and participating community partner organizations in the Greater Cincinnati area. Members of the GCCCU currently include Xavier University, Northern Kentucky University, Thomas More College, the College of Mount Saint Joseph,
