User:Carcharoth/Article incubator/Darwin Lectures
There have been many lectures and lecture series named in honour of Charles Darwin. One long-running series ('Darwin Lecture in Human Biology', starting in 1960) was sponsored by the Galton Institute (the Eugenics Society prior to 1989) and the Institute of Biology. A more recent series ('Science and Medicine', from 2009) is co-sponsored by the Royal Society of Medicine and the Linnean Society of London. An annual set of public lectures were established in 1986 by Darwin College at Cambridge University.
