Happy Birthday Harriet!
"Happy 175th birthday Harriet! In 1835 famed naturalist and father of evolutionary theory Charles Darwin was wandering around in the Galapagos Islands getting all ready to come out with the theory that would change the face of biology. On that trip, the intrepid Darwin collected a juvenile Giant Galapagos Land Tortoise. That Tortoise, Harriet, today turns 175 (at least according to the Australia Zoo) and is the oldest known living creature on this planet. So let's take a moment and wish her a happy birthday and to remember that a hundred and seventy years ago a relatively unknown naturalist looked at a bunch of finches while cruising around the southwest Pacific and gained the insight to realize that all life on this planet is shaped by natural selection.
