This year marks the 200th anniversary of Charles Darwin's birth and the 150th anniversary of the publication of his most important work, On the Origin of Species. The Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences and the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research have joined together to celebrate both events.
