Happy Birthday Charles Darwin










  1. I think you mean John Lubbock, not John Lunnock.


    Este episodio de historia ocurrió por allá en el año 1834 entre los días 6 y 24 de septiembre, por el transcurso de unos cuantos días este famoso naturalista nunca pensó que su hazaña durante 5 años a bordo del HMS Beagle comandada por Almirante de Beagle Fitz Roy y Darwin como naturalista a bordo iba a teorizar sobre su controvertida publicación "Origen de las Especies" y el "Origen del Hombre" entre otros, en los años venideros a partir de este tan inusitado viaje alrededor del mundo, y que hasta ahora se cuestiona por partes de creyentes y científicos en cuanto a sus ideas, y esto me llevo a escribir que tan controvertido personaje haya pisado tierras chilenas y más ni menos la sexta región, entre muchas otras a lo largo de todo el país.


  3. I think Newton and Darwin could nicely compete for the "greatest scientist who ever lived" title.

  4. I think that Newton would win that hands down. It's hilarious to even consider Darwin "the greatest scientist who ever lived".


  5. A belated thanks for supporting the Darwin Day extravaganza! We had some 50 odd links and that seems like a pretty good endorsement of the importance of the day.

    We're going to donate the ad revenue for the day to National Center for Science Education, the Institute for Humanist Studies or someone else, so if anyone has ideas, pass them along.

  6. In honor of Darwin, last week, a bunch of us have created a Facebook group called Can we find 200,000 by Feb 12 to wish Darwin a happy 200th birthday?

    We already have over 100,000 members! Thought you might be interested in joining. We'll be doing a free call for all of the members on Thursday at 1pmET to sing Darwin Happy Birthday and we'll have a couple of guest speakers.
