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:2º Darwin Day UFPA
DESCRIPTION:Does evolutionary theory need to be rethought?\nWith this tricky question\, we at LAGEN have the honor to announce the 2nd Darwin Day UFPA. This year\, the event is being conducted by Prof. Dr. Júlio Pieczarka and his students of the discipline of Evolution of the Graduate Program in Genetics and Molecular Biology of UFPA with the support of our League. Our motivation came at the end of last year after a group of renowned scientists gathered in London to “rethink” evolutionary biology. Since 1859\, when Darwin published his main study on the evolution of species\, naturalists and biologists from all over the world\, and from subsequent generations\, they turned to unravel the mysteries of biological reality unveiled by Darwin and the fruit of this collective effort has been a True (R) evolution! Therefore\, this year’s theme serves to (re) remind us that science evolves with reality and to reinforce that: “Nothing in biology makes sense except in the light of Evolution!”\nDarwin Day will happen on February 15\, 2017\, in the auditorium Arlindo Pinto.

SUMMARY:2017 SSM Darwin Week – College of Charleston: “The Drunken Monkey: Is Alcoholism in Modern Humans an Evolutionary Hangover?”
DESCRIPTION:The Drunken Monkey: Is Alcoholism in Modern Humans an Evolutionary Hangover?\nRobert Dudley\nUniversity of California\, Berkeley \n \n \nEthanol derives from the fermentation of simple sugars\, and fermentative yeasts are ubiquitous within terrestrial ecosystems. Animals that routinely consume sugar-rich fruits and nectar thus routinely ingest low-level ethanol\, although typical concentrations and consumed volumes are not well known. The sensory capacity to detect and follow ethanol plumes enables localization of ripe fruits over long distances\, as occurs in fruit flies.  Positive psychoactive responses to ethanol among vertebrate fruit-eaters (and modern humans) can act to increase net caloric gain during feeding via the aperitif effect. Recent paleogenetic reconstruction of one of the enzymes involved in ethanol metabolism (ADH) suggests sustained exposure of human ancestors over the last 12 million years to dietary ethanol. Patterns of alcohol use by modern humans may thus reflect ancestral sensory biases associating ethanol consumption with nutritional reward (i.e.\, the “”drunken monkey”” hypothesis). Detailed measurements of ethanol concentrations within fruit and nectar\, together with comparative behavioral\, physiological and genomic data among fruit- and nectar-eaters\, are now necessary to test the generality of this hypothesis.

SUMMARY:Panel Discussion on Darwin\, Gender\, and Race
DESCRIPTION:In celebration of Charles Darwin’s 208th birthday join us for a discussion on Darwin\, Gender\, and Race. Four Trinity professors will provide a panel discussion of Darwin’s views on gender and race\, the current scientific views on race\, and the contributions of minorities and women to evolutionary theory. Following brief introductory comments\, the panel will open up for questions from the audience. \nAlso be sure to check out the exhibit at the Coates Library\, Third Floor: Who’s studying evolution these days? A look at modern scientists; Feb. 8–15.

SUMMARY:Un tè con Darwin
DESCRIPTION:Charles Robert Darwin è senza alcun dubbio il naturalista che più di qualsiasi altro scienziato ha cambiato per sempre il modo in cui l’uomo percepisce se stesso e il mondo naturale. Il suo libro più famoso\, ‘L’origine delle specie’\, è considerato tra i libri più influenti che siano mai stati scritti nella storia. \nIn occasione del Darwin Day\, per celebrare l’uomo e lo scienziato\, l’associazione ARDEA\, in collaborazione con Slash\, organizza un incontro alla scoperta del percorso umano\, filosofico e scientifico del grande naturalista inglese. \nNella meravigliosa cornice dello Slash\, e in perfetto stile inglese\, sorseggeremo tè durante la proiezione del film ‘Creation’. \nIl film di Jon Amiel\, interpretato da Paul Bettany e Jennifer Connely\, è ispirato al libro ‘Casa Darwin’ di Randal Keynes (bis-bisnipote di Charles Darwin) ed è uscito nelle sale inglesi nel 2009\, per celebrare il bicentenario della nascita del naturalista. \nMai distribuito in Italia\, il film biografico racconta il difficile percorso umano\, familiare e filosofico che ha portato Darwin alla pubblicazione de ‘L’origine delle specie’\, diviso tra le sue rivoluzionarie teorie e il difficile rapporto con la moglie Emma e la sua fede religiosa. \nIl film (della durata di 108 minuti) sarà proiettato in lingua originale con sottotitoli in italiano. \nL’appuntamento è per il 15 febbraio allo Slash\, via Vincenzo Bellini\, 45\, Napoli. \n18:30 – Introduzione\n19:00 – Inizio proiezione \nContributo con consumazione: 5 € \nPer info e prenotazioni: salvatore.ferraro@hotmail.com

SUMMARY:L’ésser humà\, una història evolutiva de 65 milions d’anys
DESCRIPTION:Els humans som animals mamífers de l’ordre dels primats\, un ordre que es va originar fa uns 65 milions d’anys.\nL’espècie humana actual (homo sapiens sapiens) que va aparèixer fa uns 150.000 anys\, és l’única supervivent de les moltes que van existir des de fa milions d’anys.\nL’arbre de l’evolució\, que fa anys ha descartat la imatge lineal per acostar-se més a la d’un arbust amb moltes ramificacions\, està encara ple de buits\, a l’espera de nous descobriments. \nA càrrec de Miquel Llorente\, Doctor en Psicologia\, actual responsable de la Unitat d’Investigació i Etologia de la Fundació Mona i coordinador del Programa de Formació.
