this video was so much FUN how come I never heard this stuff about Darwin! you love animals, you go collect a bunch, you look at your collection, and you figure out evolution! what a dream
Whilst a student at Cambridge, wasn't Darwin a member (President?) of the "Glutton Club"? They had fancy dinners where they ate the most unusual plants and animals they could find. I assume that was part of his motivation for joining the voyage of the Beagle?
I think you meant "She" ;D. But yeah, it's amazing how all those personal artifacts of the legend himself are still so well preserved. It's almost like he just delivered them a few years ago.
I am very surprised that one of the interviewees repeats that incorrect story that Darwin was only a "gentleman companion" for FitzRoy. In fact, after Jenyns and the other man turned down the voyage due to family commitments, they recommended Darwin AS A SCIENTIST. In one letter, it was also noted that he was quite affable. If anyone would bother to read the actual letters that led to his being selected, this would be more than obvious. You can find them in Keynes's "Fossils, Finches, and Fuegians," which is basically annotated historical records.
According to MytrueancestryDNA, I am also related to Charles Darwin (R1b). I am going to guess that this a Celtic or Pict or Welch or Scottish or Irish or Anglo-Saxon relative (s). I am 3% Anglo-Saxon.
What luck you get to hold a finch without questioning how long it developed without asking how long and how it survived while adapting or why this eronious idea led to eugenics and racism, how lucky you are
Did they ever get to the bottom of whether Darwin stole from Alfred Wallace? Last time I showed an interest people were saying that Wallace was the true father of the theory of evolution.
He didn't. Darwin was extremely secretive and cautious about his work and Alfred Russell Wallace was less secretive and a bit more of a risk taker. Basically what happened was that they developed the theory independently. Darwin taken decades to get his proof together and Wallace taking a few years. Wallace sent drafts to a number of people for their opinion, one of whom was Darwin who instantly noted the similarity to his own work. They ended up working out a compromise where they basically both claimed joint credit for it but over the years Darwin became more well known thanks to 'On the Origin of Species' and the 'Descent of Man' whereas Wallace, who was much more impoverished, was looked down upon in late Victorian society as he had to sell specimens, especially Birds of Paradise, to fund his research. It should also be noted that Darwin's theory was a bit more complete than Wallace's as he'd had considerably more time to formulate it. A few years ago they finally put a painting of Wallace up next to the statue/bust (I'm not sure what is exactly) of Darwin in the Natural History Museum. So their basically co-creators of it. People are right to point out Wallace's contribution but they shouldn't downplay Darwin's role in all of it. Having two respected naturalists come to the same conclusion
James Burtton, you basically repeat the same fabricated story that we've been told all along, but you probably haven't stop for a moment and think, how is it possible for a Darwin to not publish for 20 years?! But before you repeat the fabricated reasons, think about what's been kept for 20 years! You should also ask yourself, what would money do for you in those days? Was Darwin a naturalist in the first place? Or was he just a domestic breeder, just like the 100s of others in his time!
+James Burtton And if you've got some time to kill, "Song of the Dodo" by David Quammen gives a really good account of Wallace's career and his exchanges with Darwin.
/ Welcome, please help me explain the origins of life .I will talk about the emergence of single cell objects . Please explain the phases of the (first cell) .These are compounds in the same cell 1-amino acids 2-peptides 3 - chains of nucleic acids 4-nucleotides .Question Who is the former? Is it amino acids or nucleotides? .The second question is who is the former Are they nucleic acids or peptides? .There are contradictions in the stages of the components of life .We ask you to develop explanations for the origin of life .We ask you to develop explanations free of contradictions .Please send me my letter to biologists and chemistry
Barnacles are invertebrates, crustaceans which (usually) cement themselves to rocks, piles, boat hulls or other structures regularly immersed in the sea and eat minute animals in the seawater which pass by. Pretty much they look like a lump.
So birds with different foods to seek, had different beaks. It's true! Birds of the same species had different beaks depending where they lived on the islands.
Darwin gave short shrift to finches in his Origin of Species and barely mentioned them in his journals. The term "Darwin's finches" was first applied by Percy Lowe in 1936, and popularized in 1947 by David Lack in his book Darwin's Finches (Wikipedia, Darwin's Finches). The finches evolved from . . . other finches, and they evolved into . . . other finches, and they stayed finches within the tanagers family, although this particular classification is debated. Nonetheless, this is not much if any evidence of molecules to man stuff. All of the finches could interbreed when they were reintroduced to each other, and the varieties of finches on the different islands with some having larger beaks, some having smaller beaks, etc. is nothing more than we find in the different varieties of dogs, some with longer snouts, some with small pug snouts, some tall, some short. etc., but all dogs. Same with the much vaunted finches, no really new novel apparatus in anatomy, no remarkably different type of animal.
Chris A For one thing, it's a long title, no surprise it's shortened when referred to. Also, "Race" in biology - especially during Victorian times,- did not have the same meaning as "race" does in common parlance today. In biological terms, a race is what you might call a sub-group or variety today. That isn't racist by any stretch. In fact, Charles Darwin did not address human evolution in the Origin of Species. When he was referring to "races" of anything, he was referring to sub groups or varieties of living things. He could as easily said "favored organisms" or "favored varieties", though I am fairly sure that term (organisms) was not in use at the time. He wrote Origin over 150 years ago, consider the world that it was written in before you judge so harshly. And BTW, you might try reading the book. Mr. Darwin explains very clearly what was meant by "race" in his book.
Correct me if I'm wrong but Darwin's theory haven't improved yet or?? I know micro evolution is true but I still haven't seen or heard any proof for the big evolution yet...
A scientific theory is different than what most people mean when they say theory. When most people (non-scientists) say "it's just a theory" they are usually referring to a guess or maybe a hypothesis. However, scientific theory is an explanation of certain facts or phenomena that is supported by experiment and observation. This explanation can change as we obtain more facts. The germ theory of disease is also a scientific theory. We can' t 100% prove anything in science, we just attain a reasonable amount of certainty depending on the available evidence. The only thing that has proofs is math.
Yes, it's just a theory sounds good but do some investigation and it falls apart. Most scientists are afraid to say that Darwin's theory is just his imagination because they would be frowned upon.
catching little animals, breaking fragile things and putting things into his mouth that should definitely not be in your mouth... darwin kinda sounds like a little child to me
Lorica Lass let me ask you something, do you merely want to feel smarter than anyone else by pretending to have all the answers, or are you one of those people who is terrified of the idea that there is no higher power that cares about us? The idea that life might not have any meaning after all and that humanity is utterly insignificant considering we are nothing but a small part of an eco system of a planet in a galaxy surrounded by billions of other planets just like it, in a universe surrounded by trillions of other galaxies each with a similar amount of planets. I mean if you want to spout nonsense at strangers on the internet then knock yourself out, but consider that you sound about as reasonable as the "the moon landing was a hoax", "chemtrails control our minds" and "Jewish lizard people run the government" conspiracy theorists
Mate. This is a typical religious approach. This person just passed the same dribble all over RU-vid. She or he has already pasted in several places just for this video. Unfortunately, this is how dishonest and threatened people operate.
C'mon now. 150 years of verification through the scientific method makes this the most studied and robust theory in science. If you must express your believe in magic you have churches for that.
I don't know his thinking on all things but of the times he use the words favored races not superior race. (as in the book origin of the species) He was saying the ones that are alive such as all people in Africa and Asia and all the apes and the ants ext... as opposed to the ones that went extinct were favored by natural selection and not that white people were better than others. If you had read the book (and it not that big) you'ed know this.
If we study anything it must remain a general knowledge and enjoy it but it must not become our Faith as is the case with Darwin theory. The Real Truth Must Be Followed That Is The True Religion Islam

People are just asleep bro. Their is a a being that lives amongst us but are unseen to the human eye when they choose to be seen they shape shift into a human or reptiles/dogs and many others. But their true from is made out of fire 🔥. Darwin and his people had communication with the devil thrue magic and the devil inspired him because he wants mankind to forget that God exists. Agenda after Agenda. Make sure you teach your kids homeschool because the greatest of scientists are atheist.
