SUMMARY:Darwin Day 2018: The Evolution of Happiness
DESCRIPTION:As Bill Norsworthy reminds us:\n“Dear Humanist Friends\,\n      “Darwin Day 2018 in the Tampa Bay area is less than a week away!  This year’s program will be very enlightening and inspiring. With Professor Phil Zuckerman coming across the country from California to present a keynote address titled\, “The Happiest Place on Earth? Social Progress\, Contentment\, and Well-Being in Secular Scandinavia\,” this Darwin Day will be one to remember. Also on the program will be Jennifer Hancock\, who has written extensively and will talk about Happy Humanist Families\, and Ryan Cragun\, sociologist from the University of Tampa\, who is well known to the local secular community.\n     “The doors of the Octagon will open at 9:30 a.m. next Saturday\, February 3rd. The program begins at 10:00 in the Octagon at UUC\, 2470 Nursery Road\, Clearwater\, FL. Tickets are $20.00 and may be purchased through this link to Brown Paper Tickets http://bit.ly/2DkEhP1\, or at the door on Saturday.”\n_____________\nMore details about our program:\nHappiness is a foundational goal of humanism. Three fine authors who have each contributed to living well\, improving the human condition & our common success will share their practical wisdom. \nPhil Zuckerman ( https://philzuckerman.com/bio/ ) The keynote speaker this year is Dr. Phil Zuckerman of Pitzer College in Los Angeles. His program is titled\, “The Happiest Place on Earth? Social Progress\, Contentment\, and Well-Being in Secular Scandinavia.” He has spent extended periods of time in Denmark\, studying how the Danes have been able to construct such a happy and productive society. Phil Zuckerman will reflect upon various aspects of Nordic society and how they shed light upon the potential for human happiness without religious faith.\n** Listen to a phone interview for 25 minutes @ 1 PM ET/10AM PT on February 1st on WMNF – “how to listen” http://bit.ly/2DuMtc8.  \nJennifer Hancock ( http://www.jen-hancock.com/ ) has made a career of teaching Humanist principles for everyday living. Jen will be speaking about “Happy Humanist Families.” She has written extensively on the subject of happiness. \nRyan Cragun ( https://www.ryantcragun.com/ ) is a well-known sociologist at the University of Tampa. Ryan’s numerous appearances\, books & articles have provided important insights into the role and function of religion. Dr. Cragun is our most popular speaker. \nBooks with author’s autographs will be available after the program.\nSorry\, no food will be available for this occasion. \nTickets are on sale now at $20 ea. from http://bit.ly/2DkEhP1\nI hope to see you next Saturday…and have a Happy Darwin Day.\n———————–\nAs always\, CFI Tampa Bay needs your support.

SUMMARY:Darwin e Aristóteles: Discutindo a relação
DESCRIPTION:Professor Nélio Bizzo\, from Faculdade de educação\, will talk about the views of Darwin and Aristotle on the biodiversity. \nNas últimas edições de “A Origem das Espécies” Charles Darwin escreveu que Aristóteles chegou a enunciar ideias próximas às suas\, embora apenas em linhas gerais. 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.

SUMMARY:Darwin's Ecological Experiment
DESCRIPTION:When Dr. David Wilkinson visited Ascension Island in the South Atlantic\, he was amazed by its ecosystem. “I remember thinking\, this is really weird\,” he said. “There were all kinds of plants that don’t belong together in nature\, growing side by side.” Charles Darwin had visited Ascension on the return leg of the Beagle’s voyage in 1836. In his diary\, he recorded it as an arid\, volcanic island. The lush cloud forest Wilkinson found on Ascension Island in 2003 was the result of a collaboration between Darwin and his closest friend\, Joseph Dalton Hooker.

SUMMARY:NJ Humanist Network Program - Denying to the Grave: Why We Ignore the Facts that Will Save Us
DESCRIPTION:Sara E. Gorman\, PhD\, MPH\, and Jack Gorman\, MD\, authors of Denying To the Grave: Why We Ignore the Facts That Will Save Us\, published in 2016. \nThe authors “argue that the basis for science denial rests in the normal psychology and biology of the human mind. In addition\, our reactions to scientific finding can be hijacked by demagogues and self-interest groups that manipulate the already imperfect way in which we see facts and evaluate risk. We will review several of the key factors behind science denial and show how both liberal and conservative political ideologies are prone to incorporate incorrect scientific ideas. As examples of these phenomena\, we will discuss climate change\, GMOs\, vaccinations\, and personal gun ownership. In addition to discussing the factors that contribute to science denial\, we will share a number of practical ways to combat it in a wide variety of settings and introduce our new organization\, Critica\, a community devoted to critical thinking and the rational application of scientific evidence to healthcare decision-making.” \nThe program will start at 1:30pm in the Community Room (on the right just inside the front entrance). A Q&A session will follow the talk\, and the book will be available for sale and signing. Free and open to the public. Refreshments provided.  \nDenying to the Grave: Why We Ignore the Facts That Will Save Us

SUMMARY:Darwin Day 2017: In the footsteps of Wallace
DESCRIPTION:Alfred Russel Wallace\, the British naturalist who independently conceived the theory of evolution through natural selection\, visited Singapore many times from 1854 – 1862 as part of his eight-year stay in the Malay archipelago. To get closer to the remaining primary forests\, Wallace stayed with a French Roman Catholic missionary at St Joseph’s in Bukit Timah district. During his time in Singapore\, Wallace trekked daily into the hilltops and collected thousands of insects and birds. \nThe Wallace trail at Bukit Timah is named in honour of the naturalist’s time in Singapore. On Feb 18\, the Humanist Society is organising at outing to the trail. You will be able to see the wildlife such as the Plantain squirrel\, Common Mormon butterfly and various species of birds. Dr John van Wyhe\, the historian of science who has studied Charles Darwin and Wallace extensively\, will be joining us as a guest. Dr John is the director of The Complete Work of Charles Darwin Online and Wallace Online. He is currently based in NUS. After the Wallace trail\, you can opt to hike up the Bukit Timah hill and experience the primary rainforest environment which Wallace walked in. The hill has just been reopened after two years of restoration.

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. Director d’IPRIM – Institut de Recerca i Estudis en Primatologia. Investigador associat a la Unitat de Cognició de l’IPHES (Institut Català de Paleoecologia Humana i Evolució Social).
