Charles Darwin (played by Socratis Otto) as portrayed by "Darwin's Brave New World)

Have you been watching CBC's "The Nature of Things" with David Suzuki?

The hit TV show is currently featuring "Darwin's Brave New World" a three-part mini-series, which showcases the 30 year work by protagonist Charles Darwin, the personal and professional turmoil he endured to ensure that his work was published amidst deep dissention for theories on evolution and nonacceptance by the "old boys" of Science in the 19th century, such as Richard Owen.

How did Joggins help Darwin to confirm his theories? Well, it was thanks to long-time friend and esteemed colleague of Darwin's, Charles Lyell and his protege William Dawson's discovery of Hylonomus lyelli at Joggins in 1859.

2009 marks the 200th anniversary since the birth of Darwin and 150 years since the discovery of Hylonomus and the publishing of Darwin's "On the Origin of Species by means of Natural Selection".
