Friday the 13th
Feb. 13th, 2009 09:29 pmI had a tiring experiment today so all you get is some more Darwin.
Nature has a series of celebratory podcasts including interview with Paul Bettany about playing Darwin in the movie Creation and podcasts form Darwin descendants.
And Richard Dawkins did BBC World Service Radio interview on Darwin.
Charles Darwin was taking active part in evolution and he can be called successful - just look at this family tree with lots of interesting people (including Skandar Keynes - Edmund of Narnia movies).
If you want to know more about the man here are 10 Fun Facts About Charles Darwin.
Darwin made us aware that apes are our closest relatives, then genetic comparisons told us there's a 99% identity of human and chimpanzees DNA coding regions. So what makes us so different? The answer might be in non-coding, replicated DNA sequences that are accumulating mutations much faster.
Have fun evolving :P
