Darwin's legacy over 200 years — The office of Charles Darwin opens up as part of a new exhibition at Down House on February 9, 2009 in Orpington, England. The exhibition at Down House where he lived and worked for forty years marks the 200th anniversary of Darwin's death and exhibits rare objects including his original manuscripts and his notebooks he made while aboard the Beagle.

Tomorrow is the 200th anniversary of the birth of English naturalist Charles Darwin. Each year, University of Minnesota biology professor Randy Moore surveys his freshman on what they were taught in high school about evolution. MPR's Perry Finelli spoke with professor Moore.
