Darwin Day Ornament - 2019

thingiverse

In honor of Charles Darwin's birthday this year, I wanted to do something special. I've long felt that the closing line of On the Origin of Species is one of the most beautiful and profound sentiments ever expressed. I put this together quickly so it would be available on the 12th; I'll probably rework it a bit in the future. I'd like to acknowledge and thank Ilja Van Braeckel for the awesome Darwin font, available at https://www.wtnschp.be/wetenschap/natuur/biologie/darwin-day-on-the-origin-of-the-darwin-font/. Happy "Darwin Day" everyone - remember we're all in this together. As Charles Darwin so eloquently put it: "There is grandeur in this view of life, with its several powers, having been originally breathed into a few forms or one; and that, while this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from such a simple beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been, are being evolved." - Charles Darwin, 1859.
