Uniformitarianism states that geologic formations are caused by the forces that we can see operating around us. In other words, no supernatural causes are needed to explain geology. In that sense, he prepared the ground for evolutionary theory.]]> 2018-03-13 18:19:04 UTC https://padlet.com/3095331/cp17pig2t3y0/wish/241558860 3095331 https://padlet.com/3095331/cp17pig2t3y0/wish/241559389 Lucretius (Titus Lucretius Carus) was a Roman poet and the author of the philosophical epic De Rerum Natura (On the Nature of the Universe), a comprehensive exposition of the Epicurean world-view. Very little is known of the poet’s life, though a sense of his character and personality emerges vividly from his poem. The stress and tumult of his times stands in the background of his work and partly explains his personal attraction and commitment to Epicureanism, with its elevation of intellectual pleasure and tranquility of mind and its dim view of the world of social strife and political violence. ]]> 2018-03-13 18:19:54 UTC https://padlet.com/3095331/cp17pig2t3y0/wish/241559389 3095331 https://padlet.com/3095331/cp17pig2t3y0/wish/241560272 Evolutionary Biology/Carl Linnaeus. Carolus Linnaeus (1707-1778)was a Swedish botanist and taxonomist. One of his principle contributions was the taxonomic system of binomial nomenclature. He turned away from his love of botany in order to pursue the medical field (?).]]> 2018-03-13 18:21:22 UTC https://padlet.com/3095331/cp17pig2t3y0/wish/241560272 3095331 https://padlet.com/3095331/cp17pig2t3y0/wish/241560990 Wallace developed some of his most important ideas about natural selection during an eight-year expedition to what was then the Dutch East Indies — modern-day Indonesia — to observe wildlife and collect specimens. Few places on earth can rival this vast archipelago's tremendous diversity of plant and animal life.

While nobody can deny the impact Watson's investigations and discoveries have had on the world of biology, some would say he burned many bridges in his career.]]> 2018-03-13 18:23:41 UTC https://padlet.com/3095331/cp17pig2t3y0/wish/241561750 3095331 https://padlet.com/3095331/cp17pig2t3y0/wish/241563078 Scientists still do not appear to understand sufficiently that all earth sciences must contribute evidence toward unveiling the state of our planet in earlier times, and that the truth of the matter can only be reached by combing all this evidence. . .
