Australian Humanist, The 121:1 (2016)

Abstract

Ives, Rosslyn On February 12, Humanists and many others around the world will celebrate Charles Darwin's birthday. We do this because his most significant contribution to human knowledge, as set out in On Origin of the Species, is the evidence and arguments for evolution by natural selection. By taking a scientific approach, Darwin along with many others changed the way humans understand their origins and place in the biosphere. We are not the product of special creation, but rather naturally evolved beings, fully interdependent with the rest of the natural world.
