Anyone who wants to can celebrate Darwin Day. thousands of informal celebrations are held each year.

As an introduction , Darwin Day celebrates the birth of Charles Darwin ( February 12, 1809), not the city in Australia. It is generally celebrated by those who see Darwin's identification of the principles of natural selection (as opposed to human directed animal breeding) as a keystone in the understanding of the evolution of life on this planet.

The earliest and continued support for Darwin Day came from:

  • The Council for Secular Humanism,
  • The Freedom from Religion Foundation
  • The Humanist Association of Canada
  • The Center for Inquiry
  • The American Humanist Association
  • The British Humanist Association
  • The Campus Freethought Alliance
  • The Alliance for Secular Humanist Societies
  • The International Humanist and Ethical Union
  • The International Darwin Day Foundation
  • The American Humanist Association
