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.” URL:https://darwinday.org/event/evolution-explored/ LOCATION:The Square\, The Square\, Shrewsbury\, Shropshire\, SY1 1EF\, United Kingdom ATTACH;FMTTYPE=: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20170215T120000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20170315T130000 DTSTAMP:20260413T080655 CREATED:20170125T011415Z LAST-MODIFIED:20170125T011415Z UID:4253-1487160000-1489582800@darwinday.org SUMMARY:Utah Valley University Darwin Day DESCRIPTION:Keynote Speaker: Dr. Daniel Fairbanks\, “Darwin’s Influence on Mendel: Evidence from a New Translation of Mendel’s Paper” Genetics vol 204\, pp 401-405\, October 2016.\nWed.

De fato\, as ideias do filósofo grego perduraram no campo da história natural por muito mais tempo do que na Física\, por exemplo. Nelio Bizzo examinará essa afirmação\, com exemplos que procuram exemplificar as duas formas de conceber a natureza\, discutindo as consequências para o ensino de evolução nos dias atuais.\n\nNelio Bizzo\, é coordenador científico do Núcleo de pesquisa em Educação\, Divulgação e Epistemologia da Evolução Biológica da USP e realzia pesquisas sobre História da Biologia e Ensino de Evolução.

Un’attenzione particolare sarà rivolta alla diversità e alla storia evolutiva delle piante di interesse agronomico quali cereali e\, soprattutto\, ulivi. Verrà trattato il tema della conciliazione tra sviluppo e sostenibilità ambientale\, condizione fondamentale per un progresso economico e sociale che guardi al futuro con consapevolezza. Il Darwin Day 2018 consentirà di approfondire il tema delle migrazioni umane dal punto di vista evolutivo\, con particolare attenzione ai principi scientifici che smentiscono il concetto di razza umana.\nUn particolare ringraziamento al Sindaco di Trevi e alla Fondazione Villa Fabri.

Darwin on the Palouse is the nation’s premier International Darwin Day event\, celebrated each year to honor humanity\, science\, reason\, and the birthday of revolutionary naturalist Charles Darwin. \nThis year’s event features two speakers\, Dr. PZ Myers and Hannah LoRene Smith\, with special musical guest Shelley Segal. \n • PZ Myers is a biologist at the University of Minnesota\, Morris. He is a graduate of the University of Washington\, with a BS in Zoology\, and earned his Ph.D. at the Institute of Neuroscience at the University of Oregon. He runs a popular blog at freethoughtblogs.com/pharyngula\, and can be reached on Twitter as @pzmyers. \n • Hanna LoRene Smith is a Ph.D. student at the University of Idaho\, College of Natural Resources\, interested in understanding coupled human and natural systems that support the resiliency of forest-based communities in the Pacific Northwest. Her research approaches social-ecological systems from a place-based perspective\, focusing on youth involvement and sustainable funding for protection of Central Idaho. \n • Shelley Segal is an Australian singer-songwriter whose first single\, folk protest song ‘Saved’\, has become an anthem for grass-roots secular activists. With her “Mercurial voice and eclectic sound” (The Brag) she creates a space for her listeners to engage with ideas\, to question and to reflect on the everyday – to see its layers\, its depth\, its meaning. An artist\, an activist and an explicit storyteller\, Shelley Segal uses her music not only to express the way she sees the world\, but to create the world that she wants to see.
