The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z In the spring of 1838, as Darwin tore into a new journal—the maroon C notebook—he had more thoughts on the nature of this driving force. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z I stepped up to the counter and whispered, “Please, ma’am, do you have a copy of Mr. Darwin’s book?” The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate 2009-05-12T00:00:00Z The outside world loved and reviled Charles Darwin. Charles and Emma: The Darwins' Leap of Faith 2009-01-01T00:00:00Z Jenkin’s central problem with Darwin was this: if hereditary traits kept “blending” with each other in every generation, then what would keep any variation from being diluted out immediately by interbreeding? The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z Part of the resistance to Darwin and Wallace derives from our difficulty in imagining the passage of the millennia, much less the aeons. Cosmos 1980-01-01T00:00:00Z Dr. Darwin knew Charles was going to have his first book published, an account of his voyage on the Beagle, and it was clear that he had a promising scientific career. Charles and Emma: The Darwins' Leap of Faith 2009-01-01T00:00:00Z Why, Jenkin might ask, weren’t all Darwin’s finches gradually turning gray?* The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z But Richard Owen, the fossil taxonomist—Darwin’s frenemy—was quick to discern the philosophical implications of Darwin’s theory. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z Dr. Darwin thought the trip was a bad idea. Charles and Emma: The Darwins' Leap of Faith 2009-01-01T00:00:00Z On July 1, 1858, Darwin’s and Wallace’s papers were read back to back and discussed publicly in London.

The Girl Who Drew Butterflies: How Maria Merian's Art Changed Science 2018-02-20T00:00:00Z The Earthling figure who is most engaging to the Tralfamadorian mind, he says, is Charles Darwin—who taught that those who die are meant to die, that corpses are improvements. Slaughterhouse-Five 1969-01-01T00:00:00Z Dr. Darwin warned his son, “Conceal your doubts!” Charles and Emma: The Darwins' Leap of Faith 2009-01-01T00:00:00Z But Darwin kept returning to the mechanism of heredity: What had made the long-necked antelope emerge in the first place? The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z “I don’t like to talk about that stuff. But I do talk to Delsie all the time. Did she tell you about Darwin, the crab that I threw back into the water?” Shouting at the Rain 2019-05-07T00:00:00Z Charles Darwin thought Buckland a buffoon–that was the word he used–but Lyell appeared to find him inspiring and liked him well enough to go touring with him in Scotland in 1824. A Short History of Nearly Everything 2003-05-06T00:00:00Z For Darwin, Lyell’s central idea—of the slow heave of natural forces shaping and reshaping the earth, sculpting nature—would prove to be a potent intellectual spur. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z Darwin’s phrase “natural selection” refers to certain individuals of a species surviving better, and / or reproducing more successfully, than competing individuals of the same species under natural conditions. Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies 1997-03-01T00:00:00Z Unassumingly entitled “Experiments in Plant Hybridization” and published in a scarcely read journal in 1866, the paper was written in dense German and packed with the kind of mathematical tables that Darwin particularly despised. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z The separation of the speakers by migrations had effects on language comparable to the speciation observed by Darwin on various islands of Galapagos. The Lives of a Cell 1974-01-01T00:00:00Z Like Darwin, Wallace had also embarked on a seafaring journey—to Brazil—to collect specimens and fossils and had emerged transformed. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z He was the only person Charles Darwin was ever known to hate. A Short History of Nearly Everything 2003-05-06T00:00:00Z The joint paper of Charles Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace was read in a stately room on Piccadilly Street in London. Charles and Emma: The Darwins' Leap of Faith 2009-01-01T00:00:00Z The book listed hundreds of attractions you could visit, from the world’s largest ball of twine in Darwin, Minnesota, to the world’s largest ball of stamps in Omaha, Nebraska. Paper Towns 2008-10-16T00:00:00Z Other than losing Mary Eleanor as an infant, nothing terrible had happened to the Darwin family. Charles and Emma: The Darwins' Leap of Faith 2009-01-01T00:00:00Z Darwin’s gift was natural history—the reconstruction of history by observing nature. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z “Omaha, Nebraska. Sac City, Iowa. Alexandria, Indiana. Darwin, Minnesota. Hollywood, California. Alliance, Nebraska. Okay. Those are the locations of all the things she—well, or whoever read this book—found interesting.” Paper Towns 2008-10-16T00:00:00Z By the winter of 1839, Darwin had assembled the essential outlines of his theory. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z The two populations now evolve independently, à la Darwin—until particular gene variants are selected in the two sites that become biologically incompatible. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z Even Darwin, among the strongest original proponents of the fundamental mutability of nature, would have found this rate of mutation surprising. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z What hand, Darwin asked, had guided the creation of such different varieties of finches on those distant volcanic islands or made small armadillos out of giant precursors on the plains of South America? The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z She tried gallantly to produce a generation of Darwins who could spell, unlike their famous father. Charles and Emma: The Darwins' Leap of Faith 2009-01-01T00:00:00Z Together Emma and Charles left a legacy in generations of Darwins.

Charles and Emma: The Darwins' Leap of Faith 2009-01-01T00:00:00Z There, like Darwin, he observed astonishing differences between closely related species that had been separated by channels of water. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z I couldn’t read it, but it was a thrill just to know that Mr. Darwin had written it with his own pen in his own hand. The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate 2009-05-12T00:00:00Z We recently sent him Darwin's The Origin of Species, which he hopes will help him better understand those around him. Just Mercy 2014-10-21T00:00:00Z The first part of the answer had been sitting under his nose since his childhood in the farmlands of Shrewsbury and Hereford; Darwin had merely traveled eight thousand miles around the globe to rediscover it. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z “I have the whole world here,” he says, and taps the cover of Darwin. All the Light We Cannot See 2014-05-06T00:00:00Z With no more than a brief conversation, Darwin had inserted a sluice into de Vries’s darting mind, diverting it forever. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z A theory of heredity, Darwin realized, was not peripheral to a theory of evolution; it was of pivotal importance. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z Like Darwin’s finches, the mechanical birds had begun to differentiate themselves, branching into distinct species adapted for success in particular environments. Hidden Figures 2016-09-06T00:00:00Z Darwin, as his mentors had predicted, proved to be an excellent collector and observer of specimens. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z It is natural to describe key events in terms of the work of individuals who made a mark in science—Copernicus, Vesalius, Darwin, Wallace and the rest. The Scientists 2003-10-21T00:00:00Z That the mechanism of evolution is natural selection is the great discovery associated with the names of Charles Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace. Cosmos 1980-01-01T00:00:00Z As Darwin was beginning to write his opus on evolution in the spring of 1856, Gregor Mendel decided to return to Vienna to retake the teacher’s exam that he had failed in 1850. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z It seemed to be his stomach— another Darwin with Charles’s bad digestion. Charles and Emma: The Darwins' Leap of Faith 2009-01-01T00:00:00Z At Shrewsbury, Dr. Darwin couldn’t have been happier with Charles’s choice. Charles and Emma: The Darwins' Leap of Faith 2009-01-01T00:00:00Z Even the language of his thoughts—variation, mutation, survival, and selection—bore striking similarities to Darwin's. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z Now Dr. Darwin, their last parent, was getting sicker and sicker. Charles and Emma: The Darwins' Leap of Faith 2009-01-01T00:00:00Z “Darwin writes that man is liable to slight variations, which are induced by general and complex laws.” Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy 2004-05-24T00:00:00Z Darwin’s calculations showed that the toil of earthworms might add a laver of soil an inch to an inch and a half thick in a ten year period. Silent Spring 1962-09-27T00:00:00Z Almost as good, thought Darwin Bonaparte, as the Sperm Whale’s Love-Life—and that, by Ford, was saying a good deal! Brave New World 1932-01-01T00:00:00Z Darwin called the book one long argument, and that’s what it was, but the style was accessible and readable. Charles and Emma: The Darwins' Leap of Faith 2009-01-01T00:00:00Z Even Dr. Darwin, or any doctor, might not have been able to help much. Charles and Emma: The Darwins' Leap of Faith 2009-01-01T00:00:00Z She was the first Darwin child to do so. Charles and Emma: The Darwins' Leap of Faith 2009-01-01T00:00:00Z Even if “white genes” were the most superior—the “fittest,” to use Darwin’s terminology—nothing would protect them from the inevitable decay caused by blending. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z Richard Owen, the paleontologist who hovered over England’s natural historians like a patrician falcon, descended from the Royal College of Surgeons, to verify and catalog Darwin’s fossil skeletons. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z Dr. Darwin decided to take Charles out of high school since he wasn’t making much use of it anyway. Charles and Emma: The Darwins' Leap of Faith 2009-01-01T00:00:00Z To supporters of Darwin's recently published theory of evolution, the find proved that the ancestors of modern humans had lived during the Ice Ages, tens of thousands of years ago. 1491 2005-10-10T00:00:00Z Darwin himself could scarcely have found a better example of the operation of natural selection than is provided by the way the mechanism of resistance operates. Silent Spring 1962-09-27T00:00:00Z “In another work I shall discuss, if time and health permit, the variability of organic beings in a state of nature,” Darwin had written in 1868. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z Dr. Darwin died, and Charles arrived at the Mount only after the funeral. Charles and Emma: The Darwins' Leap of Faith 2009-01-01T00:00:00Z In Darwin’s time, the most commonly accepted mechanism of heredity was a theory advanced by the eighteenth-century French biologist Jean-Baptiste Lamarck. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z As Dr. Darwin had predicted, the voyage did not prepare him for a life as a vicar. Charles and Emma: The Darwins' Leap of Faith 2009-01-01T00:00:00Z Even though Dr. Darwin was not a religious man himself, having a son who was in the church was not an anathema to him. Charles and Emma: The Darwins' Leap of Faith 2009-01-01T00:00:00Z “Whatever would Deacon Hurd say if he knew you were reading Charles Darwin?” Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy 2004-05-24T00:00:00Z But a decade had passed, and Darwin had never published the promised book on the genesis of “variability in organic beings.” The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z Nature had spontaneously thrown up rare freaks—precisely the mechanism that Darwin had proposed as evolution’s first step. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z It was, Darwin knew, an explicitly profane diagram. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z On November 24, 1859, on a wintry Thursday morning, Charles Darwin’s book On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection appeared in bookstores in England, priced at fifteen shillings a copy.

The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z Darwin tried to envision a theory of heredity that would be compatible with evolution. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z “Mr. Darwin discusses it in some detail. Have you not reached that chapter yet?” The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate 2009-05-12T00:00:00Z The huge femoral bones that Darwin had extracted from the soil belonged to a vast, elephant-size llama; its smaller current version was unique to South America. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z Buried in the text of that review was the most powerful argument against pangenesis that Darwin would encounter in his lifetime. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z I also keep lecturing her nonstop about the flaws in Christianity, quoting Freud, Feuerbach, and Darwin, but it doesn't stop the churchgoing. You Bring the Distant Near 2017-09-12T00:00:00Z If Darwin had actually read it—particularly as he was writing Variation and formulating pangenesis—this study might have provided the final critical insight to understand his own theory of evolution. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z Darwin and his geological friends needed the Earth to be old, but no one could figure out a way to make it so. A Short History of Nearly Everything 2003-05-06T00:00:00Z ‘It disappeared. Darwin would say it wasn’t adaptable enough to survive, so it didn’t.’ The London Eye Mystery 2007-01-01T00:00:00Z At first, he considered using de Vries’s word, pangene, with its homage to Darwin. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z In June 1858, Wallace sent Darwin a tentative draft of his paper outlining his general theory of evolution by natural selection. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z “I know one that I heard myself. While ago we sat around a fire, talked on Darwin. Evolution. You read about it?” The Killer Angels: The Classic Novel of the Civil War 1974-01-01T00:00:00Z Charles Waring Darwin was buried in the cemetery at the churchyard at Down where Mary Eleanor lay. Charles and Emma: The Darwins' Leap of Faith 2009-01-01T00:00:00Z Religious zealots and religious dissenters were making noise while members of the Church of England and Unitarians like the Darwins also quietly questioned their faith. Charles and Emma: The Darwins' Leap of Faith 2009-01-01T00:00:00Z Charles Darwin was not in the room to see what happened. Charles and Emma: The Darwins' Leap of Faith 2009-01-01T00:00:00Z For Darwin’s theory to work, heredity had to possess constancy and inconstancy, stability and mutation. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z It was this static view of nature that Darwin found troubling. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z FitzRoy’s volumes did not get as positive a reception as Charles’s, so the publisher released Darwin’s volume as a separate book without telling him or compensating him financially.

The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z Uncle Jos and Charles sent the letter to Dr. Darwin early in the morning, and then Charles went out shooting in the woods near Maer Hall. Charles and Emma: The Darwins' Leap of Faith 2009-01-01T00:00:00Z In Darwin's scheme, the rate of change of an organism was generally fixed, while the rate of natural selection could be amplified to accelerate evolution or dampened to decelerate it. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z Turner wondered what Darwin might have said about the evolutionary advantages of being silent. Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy 2004-05-24T00:00:00Z If the descent of species occurred as Darwin suggested, he reasoned, then the implication for human evolution was obvious. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z This was the missing link in Darwin's logic: reproductive incompatibility, ultimately derived from genetic incompatibility, drove the origin of novel species. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z Darwin looked at this barnacle under his microscope. Charles and Emma: The Darwins' Leap of Faith 2009-01-01T00:00:00Z The effect of Darwin Bonaparte’s film was immediate and enormous.

Aldous Huxley scandalized millions!” The Autobiography of Malcolm X 1965-01-01T00:00:00Z If “cousin Darwin” had solved half the puzzle, then “cousin Galton” was destined to crack the other. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z In Malthus’s paper, Darwin immediately saw a solution to his quandary. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z It is a testament to Darwin’s scientific audacity that he was not particularly bothered by the prospect of human descent from apelike ancestors. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z When the daily tourist boats arrived around ten o’clock, she flew back to her island, leaving the sea lions, Darwin finches, marine iguanas—all the original residents—to entertain the people.

The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z Huxley was the most vocal and pugnacious of them all, and earned the nickname of Darwins bulldog. Charles and Emma: The Darwins' Leap of Faith 2009-01-01T00:00:00Z Rather than discussing the Galapagos Island birds that we usually associate with him, Darwin began by discussing—how farmers develop varieties of gooseberries!
