Fundación Ciencia y Evolución Launched in Chile’s premier Newspaper

On Monday, November 10th, Fundación Ciencia y Evolución was officially launched with the presentation of “The Intellectual Legacy of Darwin in the 21st Century, 200 years after Darwin was born”, a project that contains an interesting agenda for 2009. The ceremony took place at El Mercurio, a premier Chilean newspaper, and one of the Fundación’s media partners.

The entity’s president, Alvaro Fischer, addressed some words on how evolutionary perspective has become a profoundly influential paradigm in the knowledge of human beings. He also explained how Chile played a very important role in Darwin’s life and in his theory’s development by watching nature phenomena and collecting material that would be the starting point of his theory.

As part of the 2009 agenda, remarkable worldwide thinkers and scientists will congregate in Chile, for one of the world’s most important events to celebrate the 200 years of Darwin’s birth.
