Extractions: The History of Phrenology on the Web by John van Wyhe Search Overview The organs ... Bibliography George Combe (1788-1858) the most prolific British phrenologist of the nineteenth century Combe, an Edinburgh lawyer, was among the first converts to phrenology. He was instrumental in shaping the science, co-founding the Edinburgh Phrenological Society in 1820. In the 1830s he devoted himself wholly to the promulgation of phrenology. Combe was an ambitious man and travelled extensively through Britain, Germany, and the United States on phrenological tours. Over time he devoted himself ever more to his efforts to promote a philosophy of natural laws and a secular society. His most famous work, The Constitution of Man became one of the best-selling books of the 19th century and helped to spread his version of naturalism far and wide. It is likely that Combe's impact on the 19th century was as powerful as Charles Darwin's. Combe attended classes at Edinburgh university from 1802-4. Afterwards he was apprenticed as a clerk to Writers to the Signet (lawyers). George's other brothers became brewers, tanners, a sailor, and a baker. Only his younger brother Andrew followed George in a more ambitious career; Andrew became a physician. With increased social status and secure and promising employment, Combe began to think of the education and learning appropriate for a gentleman. He began to read current literature such as the Edinburgh Review and authors such as Adam Smith, Malthus, Reid, Dugald Stewart, William Cobbett and to keep a diary.

Five children, 10 grandchildren, and five great-grandchildren "I SAW the first bomb land on Australian soil," 87-year-old George Campbell said as he calmly recalled Japan's first air raid on Darwin. The bombing began just before 10am on February 19, 1942. Private Campbell had been on parade preparing for a 30-mile (48km) march. "Nobody had been alerted there was an attack coming. They just came out of the blue and just dropped bombs," Mr Campbell said. The explosives rained down in two attacks that day. In all, nearly 115 tonnes of bombs were dropped by the strike force. Ten weeks earlier the same force had dropped 146 tonnes of bombs on Pearl Harbour.

Extractions: Below is a list of people who had an influence on the life of Charles Darwin. While this is not an exhaustive list, it does cover all of those who had a major influence on his life. Please note that is list does not include family members. They will be discussed on a forthcoming page. Agassiz, Jean Louis Agassiz was a Swiss born geologist and zoologist. He emigrated to the United States in 1846 and was a professor of natural history at Harvard University from 1847-73. He developed the novel theory that a previous ice age once engulfed the entire surface of the earth and supposedly this ice age separated the two "creation events" of god. Determined to prove himself right, Agassiz spent time in the Amazon Basin trying to find proof that glaciers were once there. He was not successful. Charles Darwin and Louis Agassiz started a correspondence in the mid-1840's and soon became good friends. When Darwin was thinking about starting a comprehensive study of barnacles in 1846, Agassiz wrote to Darwin that such research was in great demand and he should by all means pursue it. Indeed, when Agassiz heard that Darwin was looking for different varieties of barnacles to study he sent him a huge crate full of specimens. When "Origin of Species" was published in 1859, Darwin sent Agassiz a complimentary 1st edition. Agassiz was not very impressed with Darwin's theory of natural selection, being convinced rather that each species was a separate divine creation ordained by god. During the late 1800's Agassiz became one of the most influential opponents of evolutionary theory in the United States.
Darwin Among The Machines

Extractions: ALSO BY GEORGE B. DYSON The only other book published by George Dyson is called Baidarka and it is on the totally unrelated subject of kayaks. IF YOU LIKED DARWIN AMONG THE MACHINES... Dyson points out that the first book to suggest the idea of a human society as a living being in its own right was Thomas Hobbes in his book Leviathan; or, The Matter, Forme, and Power of a Common-wealth Ecclesiasticall and Civill , published way back in 1651 (and still in print). I certainly intend to read that book someday. Another book on a related subject is Steven Levy's Artificial Life , also reviewed in this Bookshelf.

darwin s Plots Evolutionary Narrative in darwin, george Eliot and NineteenthCenturyFiction . London Ark-Routledge, 1985. -. george Eliot .
http://152.1.96.5/jouvert/v1i1/watson.htm

Extractions: Inheriting the Empire After Morant Bay The clamour raised against Governor Eyre appears to me to be disgraceful to the good sense of England; and if it rested on any depth of conviction . . . I should consider it of evil omen to the country, and to its highest interests, in these times. . . . The English nation never loved anarchy; nor was wont to spend its sympathy on miserable mad seditions, especially of this inhuman and half-brutish type; but always loved order and prompt suppression of seditions. (Workman 91-2) The shift to the past tense in the second of Carlyle's sentences here nicely conveys the sense that anarchy may actually be the new order of the day, and the disturbing fact that the opposition to Eyre not only rested on strongly held convictions but also had mass appeal. This second sentence also recalls (anachronistically, as it turns out) that most famous statement of the troubles of the 1860s, Matthew Arnold's Culture and Anarchy , first published as a series of magazine essays in 1867-68 and printed in book form in 1869.

Romanes, george, (1897). darwin and After darwin. Chicago The Open Court PublishingCo. Romanes, george, (1893). Mental Evolution in Animals.
http://muskingum.edu/~psychology/psycweb/history/romanes.htm

Extractions: In 1848 George Romanes was born in Kingston, Ontario, but when he was a child his parents moved to Britain. This was probably one of the best things that could have happened to young Romanes, for he eventually got to meet Charles Darwin, and he became one of his close friends. They became so close that Darwin gave him full access to his notes on animal behavior, which Darwin had worked on for years. The last twenty years of Romanes life was devoted to the study of invertebrate physiology. He was constantly trying to show the development of "intelligent" behavior of a particular species was related to their placement on the evolutionary scale. In fact, he was able to find that the nervous system of the jellyfish acted as if it were a network of connected units. If the jellyfish was to be poked in an area, the organism would contract around that point. From this discovery, the synapse was later revealed. Romanes's Animal Intelligence (1882) was the first attempt to describe the behaviors of animals in the context of evolution. While writing this book, he often had to rely on stories of events from respectable figures, (pet owners, naturalist, travelers) which would lead to some questioning. Although he was forced to use these sources, Romanes still tried to be as careful as possible in selecting his material for reliable witnesses. He went to great pains to avoid hearsay, and was prone to describe revenge or altruism as human motives. Insects receive the most coverage from Romanes in this book, there are almost two hundred pages on insects.

http://www.soc.soton.ac.uk/GDD/DEEPSEAS/darwinmounds.html

Extractions: Located at a depth of about 1000m in the north-east corner of the Rockall Trough, immediately south of the Wyville-Thomson Ridge (see figure above), the comparatively small carbonate 'Darwin Mounds' cover an area of approximately 100 km2 and contain some hundreds of mounds. Each of the mounds is approximately 100m in diameter and 5m high. Their sandy construction suggests that they are sand volcanoes - the result of fluidised sand 'de-watering', possibly as a result of slumping on the SW side of the Wyville Thomson Ridge. Above: The Darwin Mounds, west and east fields (see enlarged figures below) A second group of mounds, the east field was discovered in 1999 be SOC scientists carrying out an environmental survey for the UK Department of Trade and Industry. The tops of the mounds are home to live colonies of the deep-water coral species Lophelia pertusa and the biological community that they support. Vulnerable to the effects of deep-water trawling Lophelia thickets on the Darwin Mounds east are already showing seabed marks left by crossing trawlers, leaving a scattering of dead coral fragments in the wake.

http://www.pol.ac.uk/home/insight/darwin.html

Extractions: Sir George Darwin was an English astronomer, who was the second son of the famous naturalist Charles Darwin. Sir George was the first person to develop a theory of evolution for the Sun-Earth-Moon system based on mathematical analysis in geophysical theory, computing where each would be at a specific time. He became Plumian Professor of astronomy and experimental philosophy at Cambridge University in 1883. His famous analysis of tides, based on methods developed by Pierre-Simon Laplace and Lord Kelvin, was published in1884. 'The Tides and Kindred Phenomena in the Solar System" was published in 1898. Sir George Darwin became President of The Royal Astronomical Society in 1899 , and President of the British Association a few years later. He was made Knight Commander of the Bath in 1905.

Peaks on the landscape correspond to genotypic frequencies at which the average fitness is high, valleys to genotypic frequencies at which the average fitness is low. Also called a fitness surface. adaptive logic: A behavior has adaptive logic if it tends to increase the number of offspring that an individual contributes to the next and following generations. If such a behavior is even partly genetically determined, it will tend to become widespread in the population. Then, even if circumstances change such that it no longer provides any survival or reproductive advantage, the behavior will still tend to be exhibited unless it becomes positively disadvantageous in the new environment.
