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:Pittsburgh CFI Celebrates Darwin Day
DESCRIPTION:As in our past Darwin’s birthday celebrations\, our presenter is the always interesting and knowledgeable Dr. Charles E. Jones\, of the Department of Geology and Planetary Science at the University of Pittsburgh.  \nThe abstract for his talk is as follows:\nHe will introduce us to a variety of terrestrial vertebrates that lived and died in Pittsburgh some 75 million years before the earliest dinosaurs.  Although not as famous as the dinosaurs\, they deserve our love because while some are entertainingly weird\, others are our direct ancestors.  In addition\, coming only 30 million years after the very first vertebrates to walk on land\, the fossils around here preserve two key moments in our past:  An evolutionary radiation out of lakes\, rivers\, and swamps into fully terrestrial habitats\, and the evolution of the world’s first herbivores.  Thus\, although the animals were completely different\, the region’s rocks capture the beginnings of what we think of today as a fully developed terrestrial ecosystem. \nThis should prove to be quite an interesting talk. And as always when we are celebrating a birthday\, there will be cake for all who desire.

SUMMARY:GBH Darwin Day Celebration Talk: 'Was Darwin a Dunce?'
DESCRIPTION:We’ll get together to celebrate upcoming Darwin Day 2016 (February 12) with this\, our first GBH lecture of the new year\, at the Humanist Hub in Cambridge (there will be NO free parking this time\, sorry to say; see below for parking discount info.) \nOur gathering will take place Saturday\, January 30\, from 12:30 – 3:30 pm at the Humanist Hub. We’ll have some snacks and drinks available as we hear a special talk by our President\, Joe Gerstein\, on ‘Was Darwin a Dunce?’ \nWhen Wolfgang Mozart was 7\, it was clear where he was headed. Jascha Heifetz made his NYC  debut at a sold-out Carnegie Hall in knee pants at the age of 12. John Stuart Mill was fluent in Greek at 5. Most Nobel Science prize winners have done their most meritorious work before age 30. Galileo was an esteemed celebrity from his earliest days…a true Renaissance Man!  \nCharles Darwin trained to be a physician but didn’t make the grade. He then got “gentleman’s C’s” at Cambridge and failed to proceed to his planned career in the clergy. His father\, a successful physician\, despaired his second son would ever amount to anything and told him so. Charles operated in the shadow of his grandfather\, Erasmus Darwin\,  a well-reputed intellectual. Who could have predicted the eventual outcome of this ineffectual performance?  \nAnd then he sat on his revolutionary insights for 12 years and almost got scooped by a schoolteacher from New Zealand.\nWhat were the psychological and sociological and theological and medical issues which resulted in this bizarre procrastination of success in a man of genius? This man was sitting on top of a volcano that was about erupt into Victorian England. Perhaps he feared the controversy that would likely engulf him with the publication of his magnum opus. Actually\, one of the major struts supporting his initial thesis was mistaken\, but he had no way of knowing that the the time.  \nJoe Gerstein will review some of the issues percolating in Darwin’s life and times that might have influenced his behavior. Then let’s all speculate about the importance and pertinence of each as we approach Darwin Day\, one of organized humanism’s most important tributes to science and humanity.

SUMMARY:Precursors of Humanity ... along the trail of human origins with Deby Cassill & Frans de Waal
DESCRIPTION:Ticket purchase is required: tickets to this stellar event are now available from the site\, Brown Paper Ticket:s Go here for your ticket: http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/2272665/ref/1128069  \nWe are excited to present two famed experts iwho will discuss how we act as we do. It’s Evolution\, after all. Join us for two lecture discussions\, followed by light refreshments and socializing. \nDr. Deby Cassill — USF’s Department of Environmental Science & Policy is unquestionably enriched with Dr. Cassill’s scientific wisdom. Aside from holding a doctorate in biology and boasting more than a decade’s worth of experience\, the professor has done extensive research on fire ants and ant behavior\, written a myriad of scholarly papers as a result\, received almost $25\,000 in grants for various research projects\, won a handful of distinguished awards\, and appeared in numerous noteworthy science publications. Despite her star status in the world of science\, Dr. Cassill is a down-to-earth\, energetic and engaging professor. As clichéd as it sounds\, she really does make learning fun — she has a natural ability to translate ideas and information without losing her students’ attention\, and a genuine enthusiasm for what she’s doing \nDr. Cassill received her Ph.D. in biology from the Florida State University. On the campus of USF St. Petersburg\, Dr. Cassill is affectionately known as the “ant whisperer.” In her quest to understand social behavior\, Dr. Cassill uses ants as surrogates for humans. She studies the survival strategies of ants encountering a variety of adverse conditions. This has undergirded the proposition that social values play an important and expanding role in shaping the basis of animal and human behavior. \nDr. Frans de Waal received his Ph.D. in Biology and Zoology from Utrecht University\, the Netherlands\, in 1977. He completed his postdoctoral study of chimpanzees while associated with Utrecht University\, in 1981\, and moved the same year to the USA. He has been a National Academy of Sciences member since 2004\, and a Royal Dutch Academy of Sciences member since 1993. \nTime featured him in 2007 as one of the World’s One Hundred Most Influential People. He is also the Director of Living Links at the Yerkes National Primate Research Center. \nHe is the author of many books and articles the latest of which is: The Bonobo and the Atheist\, In Search of Humanism among the Primates \nThis is an annual science and educational event sponsored by member organizations of Tampa Bay Coalition of Reason\, of which Center for Inquiry-Tampa Bay is a founding member. We would appreciate your support. \nDarwin Day Questions? 727-271-3549

SUMMARY:Darwin Day Lecture – Evolution: What the Fossils Say
DESCRIPTION:Among the greatest distortions and misunderstandings about evolution are the creationist attacks on the fossil record\, and whether it provides evidence for evolution. In this talk\, geologist and paleontologist Donald Prothero will review some of the amazing discoveries that have been made recently showing remarkable “transitional fossils” that documents the evolution of one group of animals from another. He also will take a broader look at the issues of creationism in the United States. \n     Prothero taught college geology and paleontology for 37 years at Caltech\, Columbia\, Vassar\, and other colleges. He earned his B.A. in geology and biology from UC-Riverside and two Master’s degrees and a doctorate in geological sciences from Columbia University. The author of more than 35 books (including Abominable Science! about which he discussed at CFI-L.A. before)\, and 300 scientific papers\, mostly on the evolution of fossil mammals and on using the earth’s magnetic field changes to date fossil-bearing strata\, Prothero has been on the editorial boards of many scientific journals; received numerous fellowships; headed academic groups in geology and paleontology; conducted science tours; and received many awards in the field. He has been featured on numerous TV documentaries\, including Walking with Prehistoric Beasts\, Prehistoric Monsters Revealed and Creationism\, as well as Jeopardy! and Win Ben Stein’s Money. \nAdmission:\nPublic: $8\nStudents: $4\nContributing Members: FREE
