Charles Darwin upon his horse, Tommy. 
Photo late 1860s, so Darwin would be aged about 50.
No dijo eso.
"He who is not content to look, like a savage, at the phenomena of nature as disconnected, cannot any longer believe that man is the work of a separate act of creation... Man is the co-descendant with other mammals of a common progenitor".
“The Descent of Man” p807.

Me parece mala onda decir en su cumpleaños que #CharlesDarwin dijo cosas que no dijo.
Su trabajo fue monumental y es valiosísimo. Pero es sobre el origen de las especies por medio de la selección natural, también conocido como la evolución biológica.
No sobre origen de la vida.

Específicamente evitó discutir el tema en su libro, en 1861: "science as yet throws no light on the far higher problem of the essence or origin of life".
Como científico riguroso que era, no se iba a poner a especular sobre cosas que no se podían explorar experimentalmente.

On #DarwinDay it is wonderful to anticipate the fast progress coming to psychiatry as it discovers its missing foundation in evolutionary biology.

The day between #DarwinDay and #ValentinesDay gives an opportunity to respond to questions about
what #evolution offers to #psychiatry and
why I think it will bring fast progress.

Painful emotions, especially anxiety & depression, are by far the most common reasons people seek help. An evolutionary perspective recognizes emotions as special states shaped by natural selection along with control systems that express them in situations where they are useful.
1⃣ «Yo no quiero mantener que cualquier animal estrictamente social, si sus facultades intelectuales llegaran a ser tan activas y elevadas como las del hombre, adquiriría el mismo sentido moral que nosotros».

2⃣ «De la misma manera que diversos animales tienen su propio sentido de la belleza, aunque admiran objetos muy diferentes, así tendrían un sentido del bien y el mal, pero los llevaría a tomar diferentes líneas de conducta».
3⃣ «Si, por ejemplo, para tomar un caso extremo, los seres humanos fueran criados en las mismas condiciones que las abejas, no habría duda de que nuestras mujeres solteras, al igual que las abejas obreras, creerían que es un deber sagrado matar a sus hermanos →
It’s nearly time for our #DarwinDayLecture featuring @Oliver_S_Curry – Darwin Day medalist 2021 – and our President @theAliceRoberts. Over 3000 people will be watching, amazing! We start at 7pm & will live-tweet. Stay tuned. #DarwinDay #DarwinDay21 humanism.org.uk/events/darwind…
If you're having trouble joining the lecture. Close the tab and re-join! That should do the trick!
#DarwinDayLecture 2021 is go! @Oliver_S_Curry explores morality as a mechanism for human cooperation. It’s a selection of cooperative rules for different types of cooperative behaviour – for promoting the common good, he says.
İyi ki doğdun Darwin!

Darwin gençliğinde doğa tarihi ile ilgilenmeye başladı. Gençliğinde Lamarck'ın evrim teorisini öğrendi.
1831 yılında Beagle Gemisi ekibine doğa tarihçisi olarak katıldı ve 5 yıl boyunca dünyayı keşfetti.
Bugün Darwin’in doğum günü ve uluslararası Darwin günü. #DarwinDay

1/3: Should have shared this yesterday for #DarwinDay, from @NCSE.
Because evolutionary theory impacts & underlies so much of our lives - how we practice medicine, how we build our environments,...

2/3: how we live & interact w/ other humans, how we co-exist w/ other species, how we most effectively learn at different stages of our lives, and so much more - a basic understanding of it should be considered a necessary life skill.

3/3: Maybe even a bit more than a basic understanding.
It's not hard to argue many of our current problems are at least partially the result of ignorance of evolutionary theory and it's applications to our day-to-day.

Today in pulp, as it's #DarwinDay, l ask the question: should we fear The Singularity - a super-intelligent artificial intelligence that will evolve to rule over us forever more?
I'm gonna say no for this one...
I'm gonna say no for this one...
The technological singularity is a hypothetical point in the future when technological growth becomes uncontrollable and irreversible, resulting in unfathomable changes to human civilization.
In short an upgradable intelligent agent would enter a "runaway reaction" of self-improvement cycles: an intelligence explosion would occur resulting in a powerful superintelligence that would, qualitatively, far surpass all human intelligence.
My book "Ask An Ocean Explorer"(*) is out in 30 days (on 21 Feb).
So for the next 30 days, I'll be sharing some of the wonders & history of exploring the deep here, in #30daysofdeep
(*<cough>available for pre-order, e.g. amazon.co.uk/Ask-Ocean-Expl…; also for Kindle, & audio book)

On this day, 59 years ago, two people reached the ocean's deepest point for the first time.
Here's a wonderful account by one of them, Don Walsh, in his own words: scientificamerican.com/article/diving…
And here's some archive newsreel footage:

Here's Gorringe Bank, a twin-peaked seamount near Portugal that rises from ~5 km deep to ~50 m deep, taller than Mont Blanc in the Alps. Home to >800 species, from deep-sea glass sponges to kelp.
Discovered by USS Gettysburg in 1875 under Capt Henry Gorringe.
