61. The Death Of Darwinism
    Skepticism about darwin's theory is more widespread among scientiststhan is generally supposed. by george Sim Johnston Cartoon.  
    http://www.catholic.net/rcc/Periodicals/Issues/Darwin.html
    
    Extractions: No book has so profoundly affected the way modem man views himself than Charles Darwin's Origin of Species, first published in 1859. The notion that man is the product of a blind, materialist process which did not have him in mind is part of the intellectual air everyone breathes. Even orthodox Catholics can get into difficulties when they try to reconcile the creation account in Genesis with what they suppose science has demonstrated about the origin of the universe and of living things. The unfortunate result is a kind of schizophrenia that deems the first chapter of Genesis to be both the inerrant word of God and a scientific embarrassment. In confronting a theory like Darwin's, Catholics should anchor themselves in the proposition that there can be no real conflict between faith and science. The danger occurs when scientists trespass into theology, or vice versa. The Galileo affair is a sobering reminder of what can happen when certain parties in the Church resist a scientific hypothesis on a priori biblical grounds. If the congregation of Cardinals that condemned Galileo had paid more attention to Augustine and Aquinas, who both held that the Holy Spirit, speaking through the sacred writers, was not teaching a system of astronomy, the disastrous split which occurred between religion and science in the seventeenth century might have been avoided.

    http://dannyreviews.com/h/Genius_Explained.html
    
    Extractions: Subjects Titles Authors ... Latest Cambridge University Press 1999 A book review by Danny Yee Howe's thesis in Genius Explained is simple: genius is the product of environment, personality, and sheer hard work, not a mysterious property that can't be analysed. "I am not convinced that there is anything about the lives and achievements of geniuses that is in principle any less amenable to explanation than the lives and achievements of other people. ... That geniuses are special is undeniable, but the view that they are special for reasons that are mysterious needs to be challenged." Not afraid of facing difficult cases, Howe starts by considering Mozart's precocious composing (he took a similar amount of time to other composers before producing original masterpieces), early performance skills (not out of line with the amount of time he spent practising as a young child), and memory feats (remarkable, but not at all unprecedented in specialised domains). Howe also explains in his introduction how "genius" is defined by achievement, not by the possession of an inherent quality - many geniuses were, after all, only much later recognised as such, while "unsuccessful genius" is an oxymoron. The bulk of Genius Explained is biographical, with Howe focusing on figures from nineteenth century Britain. In each case he concentrates on their childhoods, attempting to trace the development of the skills and determination that would underpin latter successes. There are separate chapters on

    http://fates.cns.muskingum.edu/~psych/psycweb/history/romanes.htm
    
    Extractions: In 1848 George Romanes was born in Kingston, Ontario, but when he was a child his parents moved to Britain. This was probably one of the best things that could have happened to young Romanes, for he eventually got to meet Charles Darwin, and he became one of his close friends. They became so close that Darwin gave him full access to his notes on animal behavior, which Darwin had worked on for years. The last twenty years of Romanes life was devoted to the study of invertebrate physiology. He was constantly trying to show the development of "intelligent" behavior of a particular species was related to their placement on the evolutionary scale. In fact, he was able to find that the nervous system of the jellyfish acted as if it were a network of connected units. If the jellyfish was to be poked in an area, the organism would contract around that point. From this discovery, the synapse was later revealed. Romanes's Animal Intelligence (1882) was the first attempt to describe the behaviors of animals in the context of evolution. While writing this book, he often had to rely on stories of events from respectable figures, (pet owners, naturalist, travelers) which would lead to some questioning. Although he was forced to use these sources, Romanes still tried to be as careful as possible in selecting his material for reliable witnesses. He went to great pains to avoid hearsay, and was prone to describe revenge or altruism as human motives. Insects receive the most coverage from Romanes in this book, there are almost two hundred pages on insects.

Applying to Darwin Darwin College was founded in 1964 as the first College in Cambridge exclusively for graduate students, on the initiative of Trinity, St. John's, and Gonville and Caius Colleges. It is located in the very centre of town and backs on to an attractive part of the river Cam. Two small and picturesque islands, which belong to the College, give it a uniquely charming atmosphere. The college takes its name from the family of Charles Darwin, the famous biologist, whose second son Sir George Darwin (1845-1912, from 1883 Plumian Professor of Astronomy in this University) bought Newnham Grange, now the oldest part of the College, together with the adjoining Old Granary in 1885. Newnham Grange had been built in 1793 for the family of Patrick Beales, a local corn and coal merchant. The house was extensively remodelled for George Darwin and in due course it became the house of Sir Charles Darwin, son of Sir George. Sir Charles died at the end of 1962, and during early 1963 those concerned with the foundation of the new College learned that this property was to become available. Lady Darwin and her family were warmly receptive to the idea of their home providing the nucleus for the new College, and to the suggestion that, in the circumstances, the name Darwin College was appropriate.

    Extractions: University of Maryland, College Park, MD, USA It was not unusual during Darwin's time that papers were read to members of the Society rather than presented by the author. In the case of the Darwin and Wallace paper, as we have seen, Lyell and Hooker wrote the introduction and prepared the text from Darwin's previous correspondence and Wallace's letter. So it was that George Busk (1807-1886), Under-Secretary to the Linnean Society of London, read the paper the evening of 1 July 1858. Busk, a retired surgeon of the Royal Navy, was at the time the Hunterian Professor at the Royal College of Surgeons (1856-1859, a position also held by Owens and Huxley at other times), a member of the Royal Society (elected in 1850), and a scientist who was interested mainly in comparative anatomy. It was Busk who translated Herman Schaaffhausen's 1858 paper on the discovery of a Neanderthal skull found near Dusseldorf, Germany. In his later years he became a strong advocate for evolution. He was a founding member, along with Hooker, Huxley and other, of the X-Club, a dinner club for scientists who wished to engage in research without the interference of religious dogma. The Club became most influential in Royal Society politics in the late 1800's, and especially under Hooker's presidency from 1873 until 1878.

    Extractions: Lonesome George The small island of Pinta is located in the North of the Galapagos archipelago. One of the 11 remaining races of the Galapagos Giant Tortoise ( Geochelone elephantopus abingdoni ) comes from Pinta, but their history is a tragic one. Whalers and sealers heavily depleted their numbers in the 19th century, some ships taking many tortoises at a time. The tortoises were a good food source as they could live up to a year in the holds of the ships without food and water. Females were generally taken first as they are much smaller than the males and could be found in the more accessible lowland areas during the egg laying season. Before Lonesome George was found, the last reported sighting of tortoises on Pinta was in 1906, when the island was visited by the Californian Academy of Sciences. They collected three males, which were the last tortoises seen on Pinta for the next 60 years. Another issue for the Giant Tortoises of Pinta Island was the presence of goats, which were released by fishermen in the 1950's as an alternative food source. These introduced mammals destroyed much of the vegetation and directly competed with any remaining tortoises for food.

Sat mar 29 2003 from orangebutton Permanent link For a while now I have been feeling an essay coming on: writing a little bit about my experience using a Dvorak keyboard layout. It might be kind of interesting, albeit in a rather nerdy way. Certainly I'm qualified. I churned out tens of thousands of pages with a Dvorak layout, and that was before I even got a computer keyboard. Nowadays (young whippersnapper) you can simply select the keyboard layout in your operating system of choice, whether it's Mac OS 9, X, or any of the 14 or 15 (true!) desktop varieties of Windows now polluting oops I mean flooding the marketplace. Back in the olden days the only way to get one of these puppies (a Dvorak keyboard) was to pull out a soldering iron and start melting an reattaching typewriter key slugs. Or worse yet, try explaining it to the local typewriter repair man. Just two words for you on that approach: Not Happening.
