On November 24, 1859, the world changed. With the publication of a small volume, the modern world unfurled its banner.

Charles Darwin's The Origin of Species sold out instantly, and it has never been out of print since. It is that rare book to be celebrated in everything from T-shirts to bumper-stickers to "monkey trials."

Join USC College faculty and graduate students to celebrate the publication of The Origin of Species with cake, speeches, poems. Perhaps read your own favorite passage from Darwin, or your own favorite modern rewriting. And by all means, wear your Darwin T-shirts!
