DESCRIPTION:2009 is a very special year for the theory of evol
 ution. It is Charles Darwin's\n200th birthday and 
 the 150th anniversary of the publication of the Or
 igin of\nSpecies. Since then Darwin has served as 
 an icon of evolution of modern science\, not\njust
  in scientific circles\, but in a world-wide publi
 c context. He has been equally\ncelebrated\, toler
 ated and hated. In 2009 the so-called "Darwin Indu
 stry" is working\nat full steam and with many diff
 erent agendas. In this blissful mess of scientist\
 ,\nhistorians\, administrators\, journalists\, opi
 nion makers and religious groups it is\nimpossible
  to claim priority on how Darwin should be represe
 nted. Instead we find a\nseries of different Darwi
 ns shaped to fit particular needs and interests.\n
 Consequently\, we find Darwin as a scientific hero
 \, a saint and\, indeed\, a sinner. In\nfact\, the
  quiet Victorian gentleman naturalist has even bee
 n made responsible for\n9/11 and all terrorists ha
 ve been dismissed as Darwinists. This lecture will
  look at\nsome of the many Darwins in the annivers
 ary year and see if we can spot any real ones.\n\n
