SUMMARY:Evolution Explored
DESCRIPTION:A new outdoor exhibition of 40 images by Magnum photographers will explore Charles Darwin’s legacy in modern society. Inspired by Darwin’s links to Shrewsbury\, the exhibition reflects on man’s progression through technology\, changes in society\, environmental concerns\, scientific discoveries\, and the historical events which have shaped the world we live in today. \nTraversing the globe from Australia to Brooklyn via Malaysia\, the exhibition includes a diverse selection of photographs from the seed vault in Svalbard by Jonas Bendiksen\, Longleat Safari Park by Martin Parr\, to the Horniman Museum and the protests in Tiananmen Square by Stuart Franklin. Other photographers included in the exhibition are Trent Parke\, Philip Jones Griffiths\, Elliott Erwitt\, Peter Marlow\, Alex Webb\, Rene Burri\, and Robert Capa – examining man’s place in the ever changing world. \nCharles Darwin was born in Shrewsbury in 1809 and published his landmark On the Origin of the Species in 1859. His theory of evolution by natural selection led to a rethinking of human’s place in the world – the idea that humans shared ancestry with apes was a challenge to the foundations of western civilisation. Evolution Explored will coincide with International Darwin Day\, and Darwin’s birthday on 12 February.  \nThe exhibition is a collaboration between Shrewsbury Business Improvement District (BID)\, The Hive Arts Centre\, GRAIN Photography Hub and partners.  In association with the exhibition\, there will be a series of activities including a Photo Safari and a Magnum Photos Talk. For further information visit www.hiveonline.org.uk  and www.grainphotographyhub.co.cuk  \nThe ten-week exhibition also links to Magnum Photos’ 70th anniversary which is to be marked by a series of international events\, projects and partnerships.  \n“We are delighted to be collaborating on this outdoor exhibition\, looking at Magnum’s archive through the prism of evolution. As Magnum moves into its 70th year\, it is a timely concept as we reflect on our own history and evolution. The exhibition will display powerful historic and contemporary photographs exploring Darwin’s legacy in modern society\,” said Emily Graham\, Cultural Commissions & Partnerships at Magnum Photos.     \nTrish Donovan\, Shrewsbury BID Board Member\, said: “Charles Darwin was born and raised in Shrewsbury. The town is rightly proud of this special connection to the man who became one of the most important figures in history with his theory of evolution by natural selection. It’s a unique event for the town to experience such renowned work and we expect it to attract thousands of visitors.”  \nSalla Virman\, Director for the Hive\, added: “This is an exciting and inspirational arts project looking at evolution through the eyes of some of the most influential photographers around. ‘Evolution Explored’ will celebrate the link between Charles Darwin and Shrewsbury but also give everyone the opportunity to enjoy high quality art in an accessible way. We would like to thank Arts Council England for their support to make the project possible and sponsors Redrow Homes\, Shrewsbury Shopping and Shrewsbury Colleges Group.”

SUMMARY:Hour of knowledge and discoveries «Travel to museums»/Час знаний и открытий «Путешествие по музеям»
DESCRIPTION:Участники совершат виртуальные туры по крупнейшим естественно-научным музеям мира. \nПутешествие по музеям естественных наук начнётся с Государственного Дарвиновского музея – одного из крупнейших естественно-научных музеев Европы. Его разнообразные зоологические коллекции\, собрания анималистической живописи\, скульптуры и старинных книг насчитывают около 400 тысяч предметов. В зале электронных ресурсов ребята смогут увидеть панорамы залов музея\, а также фотографии экспозиции «Пройди путём эволюции».\nВо время занятия школьникам расскажут\, что такое естествознание и что оно изучает\, кого называют естествоиспытателями\, для чего нужны музеи естествознания и какие коллекции входят в их фонды. Из мировых музеев участникам мероприятия предстоит знакомство с Большой галереей эволюции\, которая является частью Национального музея естественной истории в Париже. Коллекция галереи разбита на три основные темы: разнообразие живого мира\, влияние человека на естественную среду и эволюция жизни.\nВ какой бы точке мира не находился естественно-научный музей\, в его коллекции есть предметы\, связанные с динозаврами. Так\, звёздами музея в Брюсселе многие десятилетия остаются игуанодоны. Три десятка скелетов гигантских ящеров-вегетарианцев в прекрасном состоянии были найдены в 1878 году в одной из шахт Бельгии. А на видеоканале Хьюстонского музея естественных наук можно увидеть гигантский скелет динозавра\, жившего около 155 миллионов лет назад.\nМногие музеи предлагают расширенные виртуальные туры. Например\, сайт Национального музея естественной истории (Вашингтон) позволит пройти по залам\, детально рассмотреть окаменелости древних существ\, коллекции насекомых и птиц и даже египетских мумий\, представленных в экспозиции. Онлайн-прогулку можно совершить и по Национальному музею Ирландии.\nЗавершится путешествие рассказом об экспозиции Тольяттинского краеведческого музея «Ставрополь провинциальный»\, на которой можно познакомиться с историей края в древности. Ребята перейдут на сайт музея и научатся пользоваться навигационными пиктограммами во время виртуальной экскурсии по залам музея

SUMMARY:2017 SSM Darwin Week – College of Charleston: “Darwin’s Dilemma”
DESCRIPTION:Sigma Xi Distinguished Lecture:\nDarwin’s Dilemma \nPhil Manning\nCollege of Charleston\nMace Brown Museum of Natural History \nhttp://geology.cofc.edu/about/faculty-and-staff/manning-phillip.php \n	In 2009 the bicentenary of Darwin’s birth and the 150th anniversary of the publication of Origin of Species was globally celebrated. These milestones reminded us of aspects of Darwin’s work that\, despite the passage of time\, are yet in need of investigation. “Darwin’s Dilemma” refers to the evolutionary paradox of the sudden appearance of complex life in sedimentary rocks at the base of the Cambrian – the Cambrian Explosion\, with apparently no evidence of earlier animals when Charles Darwin wrote ‘On the Origin of the Species’. Darwin considered this a major problem for his theory of evolution by natural selection. Darwin devoted much of a chapter within his famous book to his inability to point to any evidence for life in the long Dark-Age of Precambrian rocks. ‘”There is another and allied difficulty\, which is much graver. I allude to the manner in which the numbers of species of the same group suddenly appear in the lowest known fossiliferous rocks?” (Darwin\, 1859; p. 306).  He then went so far as to say: “The case at present must remain inexplicable; and may be truly urged as a valid argument against my views here entertained.” This was Darwin’s Dilemma. Darwin also saw a glimpse of light at the end of the tunnel\, which was to turn into an ample prophecy: “Traces of life have been detected in the Longmynd beds beneath the primordial [Cambrian] zone.” (Darwin 1859\, p. 307). We now know that such ‘traces of life’ include the Ediacaran fauna that can be traced from Longmynd and Charnwood in England\, to Newfoundland\, Canada where some of the very best and oldest examples of this fauna have been found\, at Mistaken Point in rocks of latest Precambrian (Ediacaran) age. The discovery of ancient complex life that predates the Cambrian Explosion has started to answer many of the questions that Darwin strove to answer. These fossil ‘organisms’ bear witness to the previously hidden evolutionary history of early life that we might wryly call ‘Darwin’s deliverance’. However\, questions as to the identity\, biology and ecology of these ancient\, Ediacaran lifeforms continues to perplex science in the 21st Century. A significant breakthrough is now occurring in this most ancient of these large complex lifeforms using techniques borrowed from the world of particle and accelerator physics. The 565 million year old fossils of Mistaken Point from the Atlantic coast of Newfoundland in Canada might finally offer new evidence that might enable us to interpret the oldest and largest complex life on the planet.
