In the text it states, “He estimated the Earth’s age at about 300,000 years. The earth was much later, proven to be 4.56 billion years old. That’s more than enough for evolution to occur.]]> 2018-04-30 14:03:00 UTC https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/ozj9qs6tk7ek/wish/256518515 https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/ozj9qs6tk7ek/wish/256518673 I found it very interesting that is father was actually trying to get him to go into medicine and religion but he was always more interested in becoming a naturalist. This shows dedication and a true wanting to understand the world and how it works. In the text it explains how even went on a 2 year trip to study the world and wildlife which proves he would do anything to presue and enjoy his dream from childhood. That is what i found very interesting in the text.]]> 2018-04-30 14:03:12 UTC https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/ozj9qs6tk7ek/wish/256518673 https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/ozj9qs6tk7ek/wish/256518764 I found it interesting that Charles Darwin started his theory off of like 13 birds. It’s also crazy he got his theory by noticing the beaks are different on each bird, it’s cool that he got it from just a couple of little things. But it’s a little freaky, I can barely tell the difference between my socks and he can tell the difference between beaks on a bird that’s only like 3 inches tall. Other than him telling the difference between birds, he did a good job of thinking and reasearching his theory. I feel he went over the top which is great, when it comes to reasearch, you can never go to far. Also, he wanted to prove his theory right and he tried to guess the age of the earth to see how long it took for us to evolve from apes. I also like that Charles Darwin went against his father, and studied what he wanted. ]]> 2018-04-30 14:03:21 UTC https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/ozj9qs6tk7ek/wish/256518764 https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/ozj9qs6tk7ek/wish/256519330 What I found interesting was that Charles Darwin picked being a naturalist over medicine becuase that’s kind of dumb becuase I always saw being a doctor as a very important job because sometimes if the case is very serious you can save a patients life which sound really important so my question was why would Charles Darwin do that except for the point that he didn’t stand looking at surgery this is what I found interesting in the article inventors and scientists Charles Darwin ]]> 2018-04-30 14:04:14 UTC https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/ozj9qs6tk7ek/wish/256519330 https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/ozj9qs6tk7ek/wish/256519527 What I found interesting was how his ideas and thinking helped us think about the human race and look at it differently.I found this interesting because no one else during his time had a mindset like his.]]> 2018-04-30 14:04:33 UTC https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/ozj9qs6tk7ek/wish/256519527 https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/ozj9qs6tk7ek/wish/256519572 Based on the reading of the text “ Inventers and Scientists: Charles Darwin” ]]> 2018-04-30 14:04:39 UTC https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/ozj9qs6tk7ek/wish/256519572 https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/ozj9qs6tk7ek/wish/256519664 One thing I found interesting is that each of the birds beak was adapted to the type of seeds available on its island and the shape of each beak had developed from the need for food.

I found this interesting because maybe it was an estimate of 2 years but being off by 3 years is kinda surprising.
This is what I found surprising.
