Welcome to the Charles Darwin 200th Anniversary Celebrations organised by Christ's College, Cambridge. A former student of the College, Darwin is one of the most brilliant and influential scientific thinkers in history. Darwin's role as one of the makers of present times has never been more evident. His writings challenged everything that had previously been thought about living beings and becane a crucial factor in the intellectual, social and religious transformations that took place in the West during the nineteenth century. In time, Darwin grew to be one of the most famous scientists of his day, a Victorian celebrity whose work even in his own lifetime was regarded as a foundation stone for the modern world.
