Topic: History of zoology, post Darwin

	Charles Darwin
		Darwin was an English naturalist renowned for his documentation of evolution and for his theory of its operation, known as Darwinism.
		Darwin was the son of Robert Waring Darwin, who had one of the largest medical practices outside of London, and the grandson of the physician Erasmus Darwin, the author of Zoonomia, or the Laws of Organic Life, and of the artisan-entrepreneur Josiah Wedgwood.
		Darwin was also preparing his geology books and superintending the analysis and publication by specialists of The Zoology of the Voyage of H.M.S. Beagle (published between 1839 and 1843 with the help of a £1,000 government grant).

	Reference.com/Encyclopedia/History of zoology, post-Darwin
		This article considers the history of zoology in the years up to 1912, since the theory of evolution by natural selection proposed by Charles Darwin in 1859.
		Charles Darwin gave new direction to morphology and physiology, by uniting them in a common biological theory: the theory of organic evolution.
		Darwin, influenced by some facts which seemed to favour the Lamarckian hypothesis, thought that acquired characters are sometimes transmitted, but did not consider that this mechanism was likely to be of great importance.

	When Scientists Make History
		In 1978 a symposium on the history of biochemistry was held at the New York Academy of Sciences; the proceedings volume consisted of retrospectives on biochemistry by a number of noted scientists who contributed to the development of the field.
		The aim of this type of history of science is to assist in concept analysis and concept clarification[10] --in other words to utilize the materials of some historical development or scientific controversy to stake out claims about what is good science and good practice.
		As noted earlier, however, the history of science can also be of practical use to scientists in conveying a sense of what they do to nonspecialist publics, with the aim of constituting a supportive environment for their work.

	Darwin Exhibit Opens Amidst Intelligent Design Controversy - The Post Chronicle
		Charles Darwin was a lackluster student, bored by the repetitive memorization of Latin words.
		It was a Tree of Life, Darwin's first attempt to illustrate the interconnectedness of the creatures on this world and one of the main attractions of the exhibit.
		Darwin knew full well what he was up to; as early as 1844, he famously wrote to a friend that to publish his thoughts on evolution would be akin to "confessing a murder," according to published reports.

	Obituary (1888)
		Darwin, again, was the third son of Erasmus Darwin, also a physician of great repute, who shared the intimacy of Watt and Priestley, and was widely known as the author of "Zoonomia," and other voluminous poetical and prose works which had a great vogue in the latter half of the eighteenth century.
		Darwin has jestingly alluded to the fact that the shape of his nose (to which Captain Fitzroy objected), nearly prevented his embarkation in the "Beagle"; it may be that the sensitiveness of that organ secured him for science.
		Darwin had not even a cabin to himself; while, in addition to the hindrances and interruptions incidental to sea-life, which can be appreciated only by those who have had experience of them, sea-sickness came on whenever the little ship was "lively"; and, considering the circumstances of the cruise, that must have been her normal state.

	Psychology History
		Darwin, without Wallace, was the first to attempt to find an explanation of the varying species and to come up with a theory of evolution.
		Darwin was more than an average man. He lived the life he wanted and followed his love for nature.
		Darwin used his scientific ability on board the Beagle and came up with a theory that is discussed in every biology class world wide.

	washingtonpost.com: Stephen Jay Gould, Evolution Scientist, Author, Dies at 60
		Stephen Jay Gould, 60, a Harvard University professor of zoology and geology who became one of the most widely recognized scientists in the world for his graceful, lucid and downright entertaining writings about science, died of lung cancer May 20 at his home in New York.
		And perhaps even more impressively, it was reported that Harvard students packed his lectures on geology, biology, zoology, and the history and philosophy of science.
		Among scientists, he was known as a champion of the theory of "punctuated equilibria," which maintains that evolution is not a long and gradual process, but rather one that comes in sudden spurts after long stretches of little or no change in an organism.

	URBANOWICZ ON DARWIN/September 1996
		Charles Darwin was an extremely important individual for a variety of reasons: the data he collected, the experiments he conducted, and the theories he proposed influenced a variety of disciplines, from anthropology to zoology as well as ecology, geology, and the general social sciences.
		Robert Darwin had the distinction of being the largest man that Charles Darwin ever observed: Robert Darwin was some six feet two inches in height, with a tremendous girth, and the last time he weighed himself he was at some 360 pounds (or 24 stone in the measurement system of the day).
		Darwin was essentially confined to his home at Down as a result of his illness from his South American research and he really did not take part in the great public and scientific debates that came about with the publication of Origin.

	Dr. Sues comes to Carnegie Museum of Natural History
		In the science and collections post, Sues will set overall research priorities for the museum and work to preserve and expand its 21 million specimens, one of the largest collections in the world.
		The American Museum of Natural History is the only major museum to recently renovate its dinosaur exhibits, Sues said, so the Carnegie could leap to the forefront when the expansion is complete.
		He grew up in a small town outside of Dusseldorf, Germany, and the modest natural history museum there was his first connection to the natural world beyond songbirds, squirrels and the occasional rat.

		Being a biology major in high school, I also had a year of botany, a year of zoology, a year of microbiology, a year of ecology, a year of biochemistry, a year of molecular biology, a year of general biology lab, and a year of biochemistry/molecular biology lab.
		Both Darwin's theory of natural selection and the Old Testament view on the beginning of life were equally dogmatic, the minister had said.
		Darwin's theory of evolution is the dominant explanation of man's origins within the scientific community.

	FuturePundit: On The Evolution Of Ashkenazi Jewish Intelligence
		Eldridge (1970, 1976) studied 14 Jewish torison dystonia patients: he found that their average IQ before the onset of symptoms was 121, compared to an averge score of 111 in a control group of 14 unrelated Jewish children matched for age, sex, and school district.
		Also see the Gene Expression post on this story and in particular the discussion thread for that post which includes comments by both Greg Cochran and Henry Harpending.
		The article titled "AI Breakthrough or Mismeasure of Machine" discusses a computer program that recently matched the performance of college bound humans on the SAT verbal analogies test, and the significance of this as 'g' or general intelligence is most strongly predicted by verbal analogies tests such as Miller's.

	The Early Senapathy Postings
		Both his attack on Darwinism and the presentation of his theory (that modern day genomes sprung in toto from the primordial soup) are easily refutable, with the only problem being where to start (and also the patience to wade through the book -- self-published books don't have to go by editors).
		This is news to me. One of the reasons for proposing smaller, isolated populations as a mechanism for speciation was the ability of mutations to have a greater potential effect in a smaller population.
		Perhaps in his next post he will enlighten us with some specific facts to support his allegations, and hopefully he will provide at least one shred of evidence to document his repeated libelous claim -- already specifically denied by Dr. S -- that Dr. S is a Creationist.

	Seminal Evolutionist Ernst Mayr Dies (washingtonpost.com)
		Ernst Mayr, an evolutionary biologist who connected Charles Darwin's theories on natural selection to the science of genetics and in doing so helped create the field of evolutionary biology, died Feb. 3 of liver cancer at a retirement community in Bedford, Mass., where he lived.
		His reputation was made with his 1942 book, "Systematics and the Origin of the Species from the Viewpoint of a Zoologist," which proposed that Darwin's theory of natural selection could explain all of evolution, including why genes evolve at the molecular level.
		The Washington Post Book World said of his "The Growth of Biological Thought" (1982), "It seems safe to say that this magisterial study -- all 974 pages of it -- is one of the greatest works ever on the history of science."

		This transcription of notes made by Charles Darwin during the voyage of H. Beagle records his observations of the animals and plants that he encountered, and provides a valuable insight into the intellectual development of one of our most influential scientists.
		Darwin drew on many of these notes for his well known Journal of Researches (1839), but the majority of them have remained unpublished.
		This volume provides numerous examples of his unimpeachable accuracy in describing the wide range of animals seen in the course of his travels, and of his closely analytical approach towards every one of his observations.

		It was stolen in the 1980s, but Darwin's great-great-grandson hopes that the publication online, thanks to a transcription from a microfilm copy made two decades earlier, will persuade whoever has it to return it.
		John van Wyhe, director of the project run by Cambridge University, said the collection is so comprehensive, it will help dispel the "many misconceptions and myths" about the naturalist.
		Further writings will be added to the Complete Works of Darwin Online during the next three years to coincide with the bicentenary of Darwin's birth.

		On his return to England in 1880, Pearson first went to Cambridge [3]:-
		The importance for science of the intense personal friendship which soon sprang up between Pearson and Weldon, then both in their early thirties, can scarcely be exaggerated.
		This came about because he had presented a paper to the Royal Society, of which he had been elected a Fellow in 1896 and received its Darwin Medal in 1898, in 1900.
