SUMMARY:Eugenie Scott presents Darwin\, Evolution\, Myth – and Humanism
DESCRIPTION:Details\n\n\nCharles Darwin’s religious views have been vigorously debated. The son and grandson of well-known 19th-century freethinkers\, he nonetheless had a conventional religious upbringing\, and scholars agree that for at least the early part of his life\, he was conventionally religious. His views changed later in life\, drifting more towards the rejection of Christianity held by his father and grandfather. One explanation for this change is the development of his idea of evolution by natural selection\, though there is not yet a scholarly consensus on this. Today\, science\, and perhaps especially evolution\, is seen as central to modern Humanism\, and it is variously embraced and vigorously rejected by people of many religious perspectives. But how well does evolution work as religion? Is\, as E.O. Wilson once said\, “The evolutionary epic is probably the best myth we will ever have”? \nOur speaker\nEugenie C. Scott\, a physical anthropologist\, humanist\, and science education pioneer\, is retired as founding Executive Director of The National Center for Science Education: She is a native of Wisconsin and graduate of the University of Wisconsin at Milwaukee(B.S. and M.S) and the University of Missouri (Ph.D.). She authored two books on issues around the teaching of creationism in public schools and was a consultant for the legal team that won the federal court case that disallowed it. Eugenie has been honored by numerous organizations for her work in science education. She and her husband now reside in California. \n\n\n———————-\nThis event is free and is limited to 100 registrants.

SUMMARY:Quercus Circus: The Biodiversity and Ecological Value of Oaks
DESCRIPTION:Oaks are one of the defining tree species in our world\, with a long and fascinating history. Charles Darwin considered the nature of oak species to be “a thorny problem”\, but new genetic research suggests that we have come to a nuanced understanding of the oak species concept. This seminar will demystify the genus Quercus by walking through the branches of the oak tree of life. You will discover more about the natural history of oaks and the role they serve at the ecosystem level\, including how current research aims to shed light on the ecological role of hybridization.

SUMMARY:"Mass Extinction in Our Once and Future World"
DESCRIPTION:14th Annual Darwin Day Celebration\n\n\nMass Extinction in Our Once and Future World is topic for Feb 12 Darwin Day \n  \n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe story of life on Earth is still being told. Dinosaurs no longer roam the planet. Species come and go. But what does it all mean? And\, more importantly\, can the fossil record of past mass extinctions inform us of what is likely to come? Dr. Pincelli Hull\, Yale U. Assistant Professor of Earth and Planetary Sciences and Assistant Curator of Invertebrate Paleontology at Yale Peabody Museum\, will explore these questions at the 14th Darwin Day CT Celebration which will be held online on Sat February 12\, 2022\, hosted and sponsored by the Humanists and Freethinkers of Fairfield County. Register at bit.ly/DarwinDayCT2022 \n\nDr. Hull writes\, “I am broadly interested in the evolution and ecology of open ocean ecosystems and species over long-time scales\, as these are the scales on which species evolve and go extinct and ecosystems collapse and reassemble” Her presentation entitled\, Mass Extinctions in our Once and Future World will  “provide an introduction to the scientific study of mass extinction events\, an overview of mass extinctions through time\, and insights from the ancient world for our ongoing biodiversity crisis.” \nThe event also features audience participation in a challenging and entertaining science quiz developed by retired science teacher Mitch Kalmus. No prior training is required to enjoy this social event\, with brain teasers and humor. \nDARWIN DAY is an international celebration of science and humanity held around Charles Darwin’s February 12th birthday\, celebrating the discoveries and life of the man\, and expressing gratitude for the enormous benefits that scientific knowledge\, acquired through human curiosity and ingenuity\, has contributed to the advancement of humanity. \nDr. Hull received her doctorate from Scripps Institution of Oceanography at University of California at San Diego. She has published extensively in numerous scientific journals\, and is the recipient of many fellowships\, grants\, and academic awards. \nShe is an enthusiastic coach of the next generation of young scientists mentoring not only undergraduates and graduate students but also providing opportunities for secondary students. Dr. Hull’s lab participates and supports two outreach programs for high school students in New Haven\, run by EVOLUTIONS (EVoking Learning and Understanding Through Investigations of the Natural Sciences) at the Yale Peabody Museum of Natural History. She will be one of the featured scientists in an upcoming children’s book. To find out more about her lab go to https://people.earth.yale.edu/profile/pincelli-hull/about \nRegister at bit.ly/DarwinDayCT2022 for Darwin Day CT Celebration online free-of-charge on February 12\, 2022.
