Hugo Arnot, who was a Scottish advocate, writer, and campaigner, suggested in the 18th century that the name Salisbury Crags derives from the first Earl of Salisbury, who accompanied Edward III of England on one of his invasions of Scotland.]]> 2022-05-28 09:20:01 UTC https://padlet.com/05igonzalez/v5sd5kaoznp04s7o/wish/2202830883 (2) Holyrood Park, Queen's Drive, Edinburgh, UK 05igonzalez https://padlet.com/05igonzalez/v5sd5kaoznp04s7o/wish/2202831529 How were Salisbury Crags formed?
The crags are thought to have been formed by a horizontal igneous intrusion of dolerite called the Salisbury Crag Sill, which formed after the main lavas and the volcanic vent at Arthur's Seat.

FitzRoy considered the advantages of having someone who could study geology join. At the age of 22, the graduate Charles Darwin hoped to see the tropics before becoming a parson, who is an ordained Christian person responsible for a small area, and accepted the opportunity.

He described his first meeting with the native Fuegians as being "without exception the most curious and interesting spectacle I ever beheld: I could not have believed how wide was the difference between savage and civilised man: it is greater than between a wild and domesticated animal, inasmuch as in man there is a greater power of improvement.]]> 2022-05-28 09:52:58 UTC https://padlet.com/05igonzalez/v5sd5kaoznp04s7o/wish/2202842721 (4) Falmouth, UK 05igonzalez https://padlet.com/05igonzalez/v5sd5kaoznp04s7o/wish/2202844664 On the stormy night of 2 October 1836, he arrived at Falmouth.

Several prominent British scientists and philosophers attended, including Thomas Henry Huxley, Bishop Samuel Wilberforce, Benjamin Brodie, Joseph Dalton Hooker, and Robert FitzRoy.
The idea of ​​species transmutation was controversial in the first half of the nineteenth century, as it was seen as a contradiction to religious orthodoxy and a threat to social order, but was welcomed by radicals who wanted to expand democracy and overthrow the aristocratic hierarchy.

Huxley reportedly replied that he would not be ashamed to have an ape as his ancestor, but would be ashamed to associate with a man who used his great talent to cover up the truth.
The encounter is often known as the Huxley–Wilberforce debate or the Wilberforce–Huxley debate, although this description is somewhat misleading. Rather than being a formal debate between the two, it was actually an animated discussion. Although Huxley and Wilberforce were not the only participants in the discussion, they were reported to be the two dominant parties.]]> 2022-05-28 10:13:43 UTC https://padlet.com/05igonzalez/v5sd5kaoznp04s7o/wish/2202851411 (1) Cambridge University, Brookside, Cambridge, UK 05igonzalez https://padlet.com/05igonzalez/v5sd5kaoznp04s7o/wish/2202856702 The University of Cambridge is a collegiate research university in Cambridge, United Kingdom.
