In presenting plans for such express buses before the Montgomery County Council, the administrator of the NCTA, C. Darwin Stolzenbach, was frankly seeking support for the projects his agency will soon be launching.

Van Vogt's first published SF story, " Black Destroyer " ( Astounding Science Fiction, July 1939 ), was inspired by Voyage of the Beagle by Charles Darwin.

The ship on which Charles Darwin made the voyage which provided much of the inspiration for On the Origin of Species was named HMS Beagle after the breed, and, in turn, lent its name to the ill-fated British Martian lander Beagle 2.

( Linn was nominated for a Darwin Award, but did not win.

Charles Darwin proposed the theory of universal common descent through an evolutionary process in On the Origin of Species, twice stating the hypothesis that there was only one progenitor for all life forms and ending with " There is a grandeur in this view of life, with its several powers, having been originally breathed into a few forms or into one ".

The idea of non-biological self-replicating systems was introduced in Samuel Butler's article " Darwin Among the Machines " published only a few years after The Origin of Species.

The episode was reported by Darwin in his diaries of the Voyage of the Beagle as occurring in March 1835 to the east of the Andes near Mendoza.

Darwin was young and generally in good health, though six months previously he had been ill for a month near Valparaiso, but in 1837, almost a year after he returned to England, he began to suffer intermittently from a strange group of symptoms, becoming incapacitated for much of the rest of his life.

Lyell was a close and influential friend of Charles Darwin.

All three went through multiple editions during his lifetime, although many of his friends ( such as Darwin ) thought the first edition of the Principles was the best written.

Lyell's interpretation of geologic change as the steady accumulation of minute changes over enormously long spans of time was a powerful influence on the young Charles Darwin.

In geology Darwin was very much Lyell's disciple, and brought back observations and his own original theorising, including ideas about the formation of atolls, which supported Lyell's uniformitarianism.

Later, Darwin became a close personal friend, and Lyell was one of the first scientists to support On the Origin of Species, though he did not subscribe to all its contents.

The settlement there became the town of Palmerston in 1869, and was renamed Darwin in 1911.

It was the same fleet that had bombed Pearl Harbor, though a considerably larger number of bombs were dropped on Darwin than on Pearl Harbor.

Many of the proponents of Darwinism at that time, including Huxley, had reservations about the significance of natural selection, and Darwin himself gave credence to what was later called Lamarckism.

In 2006, a comedy film, The Darwin Awards, was written and directed by Finn Taylor, that was based on the website and many of the Darwin Awards stories.

Erasmus Darwin ( 12 December 1731 – 18 April 1802 ) was an English physician who turned down George III's invitation to be a physician to the King.

He was a member of the Darwin – Wedgwood family, which includes his grandsons Charles Darwin and Francis Galton.

Darwin was a highly successful physician for more than fifty years in the Midlands.

However, Darwinism is also used neutrally within the scientific community to distinguish modern evolutionary theories, sometimes called " NeoDarwinism ", from those first proposed by Darwin.

It may also refer specifically to the role of Charles Darwin as opposed to others in the history of evolutionary thought — particularly contrasting Darwin's results with those of earlier theories such as Lamarckism or later ones such as the modern synthesis.

A Lucy Swift gave birth in 1771 to a baby, also named Lucy, who was christened a daughter of her mother and William Swift, but there is reason to believe the father was really Darwin.

" Darwin also pondered the sudden appearance of many groups ( i. e. phyla ) in the oldest known Cambrian fossiliferous strata.

He also drafted an article on The part played by labour in the transition from Ape to Man, apparently a theory of anthropogenesis which would integrate the insights of Marx and Charles Darwin.

One of the children of that marriage, Charles Darwin, would also marry a Wedgwood — Emma, Josiah's granddaughter.

Charles Darwin quoted Audubon three times in On the Origin of Species and also in later works.

Factors which affect reproductive success are also important, an issue which Charles Darwin developed in his ideas on sexual selection.

By 2000, most large-scale ( Mach-like ) efforts had ended, although OpenStep used an adapted Mach kernel called XNU, which is now used in the OS known as Darwin, which is the open source part of Mac OS X .. As of 2012, the Mach-based GNU Hurd is also functional and its inclusion in testing versions of Arch Linux and Debian in progress.

Factors that affect reproductive success are also important, an issue that Charles Darwin developed in his ideas on sexual selection, for example.

T. H. Huxley, the proponent of Darwin ’ s theories of evolution, also found Zadig's approach instructive, and wrote an in his 1880 article " The method of Zadig ":

Darwin also admitted ignorance of the source of inheritable variations, but speculated they might be produced by environmental factors.

Owen's review of the Origin in the April 1860 Edinburgh Review bitterly attacked Huxley, Hooker and Darwin, but also signalled acceptance of a kind of evolution as a teleological plan in a continuous " ordained becoming ", with new species appearing by natural birth.

She also believed that proponents of the standard theory " wallow in their zoological, capitalistic, competitive, cost-benefit interpretation of Darwin – having mistaken him ... Neo-Darwinism, which insists on slow accrual of mutations by gene-level natural selection, is in a complete funk.

She was also able to take advantage of a number of gaffes made by Chief Minister Denis Burke, such as the decision to preference the One Nation Party over the ALP-which lost the CLP a number of votes in crucial Darwin seats.

Rivers also collaborated with the pioneer instrument maker Sir Horace Darwin in the improvement of apparatus for recording sensations, especially those involved in vision.

The NOCS is also the base for the purpose-built research vessels RRS Discovery and RRS James Cook ( and formerly RRS Charles Darwin ).

It also has lookouts towards the city of Darwin.

* Darwin community legal service – an Australian response, also citing WA recommendations.

He also corresponded with Charles Darwin, who named part of the human ear the ' Woolnerian Tip ' after a feature in Woolner's sculpture Puck.

There are two exits on I-70 for West Terre Haute: Exit # 1 ( eastbound only ) onto U. S. 40 and Exit # 3 onto Darwin Road, though it is also marked for Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College, which is five miles ( 8 km ) northwest of West Terre Haute.

Two of Charles Darwin's half-cousins, Edward Levett Darwin and Reginald Darwin also decided to settle there.

Darwin describes how natural variations in individual plants and animals also support the selection of new traits.
