Today is the 24th of November.

On this day in history [1]:

1859 - Darwin’s “Origin of Species published”
Darwin’s theory argued that organisms gradually evolve through a process he called natural selection. Even today educated people still can’t cope with the concept that Adam and Eve were monkeys.
1642 - Tasmania discovered
Abel Tasman becomes the first European to discover the island Van Diemen’s Land (later renamed Tasmania). I was born and raised on this island in Australia. Thanks Abel you happy sailor you.
1867 - Barbed wire
Joseph F Glidden patents barbed wire. Centuries later Pamela Anderson makes a movie with the same name. Different date.
1991 - Freddie Mercury dies
