There have been more specials, books and conversations regarding Abraham Lincoln in the past 4-5 months. At first I thought it was just because of the election, but it was actually all leading up to the 200th anniversary of his birth.
Born on the same day and same year as Lincoln, Charles Darwin would also be celebrating his 200th birthday yesterday. For all the years I'd heard about both great men, this was the first time I'd ever been aware they were contemporaries.
