Charles Darwin and Abraham Lincoln were born on the same day: 12 February 1809.
Why it is true
Darwin was born in Shrewsbury, England, into a wealthy family; Lincoln was born in a log cabin in Kentucky. One changed how we see the origin of species and the other abolished slavery in the United States.
