Donâ??t be surprised if you catch a glimpse of a man wearing 19th century garb on the UW-Madison campus next week. UW-Madison botany professor David Baum said he plans to dress as Charles Darwin — complete with mutton chops and coattails — in honor of the 150th anniversary of “The Origin of Species,” Darwinâ??s seminal book on evolution. Baum has reason to celebrate. In addition to the anniversary, UW-Madison is on the cusp of creating a new institute to study evolution.
