Hip Hip, hooray! There's a birthday today, I don't mean a homo sapien. I mean a book. Today, November 24 in the year 50 AD, it is exactly 163 years ago that the masterpiece "On the Origin of Species" saw the light of day. None other than Charles Darwin was the author of this groundbreaking book. There were 1250 copies of the first printing at the time.
Copyright has since disappeared on Darwin's masterpiece. In many languages "On the Origin of Species" can be downloaded free of charge, also in Dutch. https://www.nieuwezijds.nl/downloads/dieren-def.pdf
