However\, understanding the evolution of different clades of birds has been problematic. While some authors have suggested that phylogenetic relationships among orders might not be resolved\, recent large-scale and whole genome studies have shown an ability to resolve these relationships. With the backbone of the avian tree of life elucidated\, an effort to build the entire avian tree of life using molecular sequence data is underway. Such studies are showing that previously accepted relationships within genera and families are often incorrect\, but new data is allowing these problems to be resolved. This will allow us to begin rigorously exploring the factors leading to the diversity of birds we see today.\nPizza Lunch provided\nCake for Darwin’s Birthday \n5:00 -7:00 Riverhouse Paper discussion: “Nothing in Biology Makes Sense Except in the Light of Evolution”\nStudents\, Faculty and staff are invited to read this classic paper and come to a discussion session.\n**All those that participate will be entered in a Raffle for a Darwin Prize!!!!!!**\nThe article and questions for journal discussion will be emailed to students. \nFriday Feb.13th\n12:00 – 1:00 Reid Auditorium: Evolution Music & Talent Show\nKim Beasley and students will perform Darwin/Evolution inspired music\, followed by an evolution talent show open to all JU students/faculty/staff.  Judged by the audience and prizes!!! (Darwin bobblehead 1st prize\, Darwin fish 2nd prize).

SUMMARY:Darwin-Wallace Day at SUNY-ESF's Moon Library
DESCRIPTION:ESF will highlight research in evolutionary biology to celebrate the legacy of biological evolution’s co-discoverers: Alfred Russel Wallace and Charles Darwin.\nStudents taking Evolution (EFB 311) have created mini-posters highlighting some of the most compelling research in evolutionary biology from 2014 and 2015. The posters will be on display in Moon Library on the ESF campus until late February.\nBetween 12:45 and 1: 40 p.m. (known on campus as the weekly “college hour”) Wednesday\, Feb. 11 — the day before Darwin’s birthday\, and a month and three days after Wallace’s — Moon Library will give away a permanent book plate in honor of the occasion. The library will also feature a display of books by and about Darwin and Wallace. Members of the campus community are invited to stop by to admire the posters and enjoy a snack.\nAround the world\, people celebrate Darwin Day to honor Darwin’s contributions  to our understanding of the life sciences. This year\, ESF added the lesser-known\, but no less intrepid\, naturalist Wallace to the billing in recognition of the fact that a pivotal moment in our modern understanding of biology was a joint presentation by Darwin and Wallace of their 1858 paper: “On the Tendency of Species to form Varieties; and on the Perpetuation of Varieties and Species by Natural Means of Selection.”

SUMMARY:Darwin Day Celebration
DESCRIPTION:We Select You Naturally! \nJoin us on Valentine’s Day to celebrate the life and work of Charles Darwin. Come celebrate with us! \nJoin us for \n• Evolution Raffle \n• Phylum Feud \n• Taste of Camp Quest \n• Joseph Lorenzo keynote talk \n• A reading of the children’s book Grandmother Fish \n• Snacks and cake (we encourage people to bring a dish to share.) \n• and more! \nSeattle Atheists will be teaming up with Camp Quest Northwest for a fabulous party. Camp Quest provides summer camps for kids that teach critical thinking skills in a secular environment. Our friends from Camp Quest will be providing childcare for kids 5 and up with donations benefiting this great organization. They will give the kids a “taste” of Camp Quest that is sure to make them want sign up for a week this summer.  \nThe suggested donation of $10/ kid for the Taste of Camp Quest will help support Camp Quest to recruit and train counsellors and to subsidize camp costs for low income families. Please register your children for the camp quest room in advance here: https://campquest.wufoo.com/forms/darwin-day-2015/ \nFor the toddlers in attendance we will be joined for a reading of Jonathan Tweet’s children’s book about evolution Grandmother Fish and have some fun with an evolution dance\, as well as crafts and toys. \nThis year’s key note speech will be delivered by Joseph Lorenzo from the Department of Anthropology & Museum Studies at Central Washington University where he established the Molecular Anthropology Laboratory. This interesting talk will be titled Ancient Hominines and Ancient DNA: What New Technology Is Telling Us About Our Past. \nWe will have snacks and cake but would like to encourage people to bring a pot-luck dish to share. \nSee you there!

SUMMARY:Teeth Are Now Giving The Orders: Darwinian Selection For Biological Rhythms And Your Life History Is All About To Change
DESCRIPTION:NYU School of Dentistry Professor Timothy Bromage\, Ph.D.\, demonstrates how the evolution of teeth plays an important role in shaping human life. \nThe adaptation shared by all light-sensitive organisms is the to and fro of their biology in phase with daily astronomical rhythms (e..g.\, oscillations of metabolism\, physiology\, behavior)\, manifesting as circadian rhythms. Dental hard tissues reflect these cycles\, but unbeknownst to most people is that they also provide longer periodic signals. The genomics of daily biological rhythms has in recent decades received much attention\, but surprisingly little is known of long period rhythms for which the teeth\, it turns out\, are the story tellers. But more than the story\, more than just instructions\, teeth reflect strict commands handed down from the genome that define how life is and works; everything from the size of a kidney to lifespan\, and everything in between.  \nProfessor Bromage directs the Hard Tissue Research Unit (HTRU)\, a mineralized tissue preparation and imaging technology development laboratory of the Department of Biomaterials and Biomimetics\, NYUCD. Recently\, he has reported on a hitherto unrecognized chronobiological rhythm in bone microstructure that corresponds to a previously observed but enigmatic enamel formation rhythm in mammals\, establishing the basis for understanding how chronobiology and organismal life history evolution are integrated. \nProfessor Bromage supplements laboratory research with African Late Pliocene paleontological fieldwork of significance to human evolutionary research\, the surveys of which have recovered the oldest known representative of the human genus\, Homo rudolfensis\, 2.4 Ma\, as well as its contemporary\, Paranthropus boisei\, from the shores of Lake Malawi. Fieldwork on Late Pleistocene pygmy elephant and pygmy hippopotamus localities in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus are also ongoing\, which provides a natural experiment of relevance to interpretations of modern human dental reduction. \nProfessor Bromage is recipient of the 2010 Max Planck Prize in the Life Sciences (paleobiomics; emphasis in Human Evolution)\, is Honorary Professor of La Salle University\, Madrid\, Spain\, and is Honorary Research Fellow of the Department of Paleoanthropology\, Senckenberg Research Institute\, Frankfurt\, Germany.

SUMMARY:Darwin Day 2015 (Singapore)
DESCRIPTION:Organised by the Humanist Society (Singapore) \nWe will be spending Darwin Day 2015 at the Singapore Botanical Gardens! The Gardens\, currently an applicant for UNESCO World Heritage Site status\, is a world of greenery and elegance.  \nACTIVITIES  \nThe Society will be conducting a family-friendly competition\, called the “Darwin Photo Challenge”\, near the Eco-Lake\, about 5 minutes walk the Botanical Gardens MRT station (Circle Line). Participants in groups of 3 to 4 will run around the gardens within a 45-minute window\, taking photographs of trees and animals listed on a gamesheet called the “Darwin Tree of Life.” Participants can either bring a camera or use their mobile devices. The top two groups in the competition will be given prizes. More details will be revealed on the day. \nWe will also be having a self-guided tour of the Evolution Gardens. The 9.9-hectare tells the evolutionary story of plant life on Earth throughout the ages. It shows the amazing story of how plants gave us life\, and how\, long before humans arrived\, plants started to evolve into the myriad complex\, wonderful life forms that we see today.  \nAfter the event ends\, we invite you to join us a casual Darwin Day lunch at Bar Bar Black Sheep near the Botanic Gardens MRT station. This lunch\, however\, is self-paid and optional.  \nSo\, join us for a morning of fun and exploration! Please RSVP early as it will help the organisers estimate the amount of water and game materials needed\, minimising wastage. \nFees: $5 for members\, $8 for non-members \nMap of the garden: @[NjQyMTgzOTU5MjA4MTA3Omh0dHBcYS8vdjM2MHByb3BlcnR5LmNvbS93cC1jb250ZW50L3VwbG9hZHMvMjAxNC8wOS9Cb3RhbmljTWFwLmpwZzo6:http://v360property.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/BotanicMap.jpg] \n**Gathering point: Please meet at the gate outside Botanic Gardens MRT\, NOT the Tanglin Gate entrance. The Botanic Gardens MRT is part of the Circle Line. \nParking options: You can use the public carpark near the Cluny Park Gate.
