The British Council, in collaboration with the Young Biologists
Association in Armenia, will be presenting an exhibit called Darwin
Now in Yerevan to celebrate the 200-year anniversary of Charles
Darwin’s birth and the 150-year anniversary of the publication of
"On the Origin of Species."

The Darwin Now exhibition explores the origins of Darwin’s book,
outlines his central ideas, and explains how they remain at the core
of contemporary research in biology and medicine.

According to the program booklet produced by the British Council, "Our
international programme of activities… will provide an opportunity
to explore the relationship between evolution and religion in an
unprejudiced and open way."

The Darwin Now exhibit is being shown in over 25 countries worldwide,
notes the British Council’s official website. It is both colourful
and informative, to be enjoyed by children and adults.

The touring exhibit launched on March 10 in Yerevan’s Moscow Cinema,
where it will be on display till March 21. From March 22-31, the
exhibit will be on display at Yerevan State University.
