Charles Darwin - The Greatest Briton of All Time
====================================================================

Cast Your Vote Now!
On Sunday 24 November, 9pm (GMT) on BBC TWO there will be a live
debate hosted by Anne Robinson, Peter Snow and the ten 'Great
Britons' presenters. Voting will continue until the end of the show
- then the overall winner will be announced. Who will be voted as
the Greatest Briton of all time?

Charles Darwin currently holds fourth place among the top ten
finalists. We at the Darwin Day Program think he deserves better.
Ahead of him are Isambard Kingdom Brunel - an engineer, Princess
Diana - a royal celebrity, and Winston Churchill - a great war
leader. 

Who among these people transformed human thought? 

Hmmmm? 

CHARLES DARWIN.

Even if you have voted earlier during the top 100, you can vote
again. Please do so while there is still time. 

On a related note, November 24th - the date the results of this BBC
vote will be announced - is also the anniversary date of the
original publication of _The Origin of Species_ in 1859. 

At the BBC link you will also find e-cards and many interesting
resources that are connected with this programme.
