To commemorate the 150th anniversary of Charles Darwin's
On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, the
University of Cincinnati has recreated the Galapagos Islands in
Second Life.
By January 2009, avatars will be able to retrace Darwin's steps aboard the

The project is part of UC's
2009 Darwin Sesquicentennial Celebration.
