The 200th anniversary of Darwin's birth is being celebrated this year.
Charles Darwin proposed the theory of evolution.
Charles Darwin hereby speaks for himself:
"I may here also confess that as a little boy
I was much given to inventing deliberate falsehoods,
and this was always done for the sake of causing excitement."
