Chapter 71 darwin and huxley

darwin and huxley Huxley was a contemporary of Darwin.These two great scientists are not only good friends, but also In terms of the inspiration of academic ideas, people also learn from each other.Darwin's written, I had a lot of help from Huxley. Huxley studied zoology. It is said that one day, the two visited the zoo together. Standing in front of a poisonous snake, separated by a glass plate, the poisonous snake saw someone disturbing it, raised its head and stuck out its tongue, Dash forward through the glass pane to bite them.Originally, separated by a layer of glass, it would not be possible at all.

There is no danger, but Darwin still couldn't help but tilt his head when the poisonous snake came to him. Move aside.Huxley smiled when he saw this situation, and taught him: "We stand in front of a glass cage to watch a poisonous snake, and we are not afraid of its bite. This is the day after tomorrow. Intellect; but when it bites us behind the glass, we still can't help but slightly It is an innate instinct to avoid the latter." This kind of discussion made the two people form a deep friendship. At the same time, Darwin had a great love for Huxley. Also very admirable.When his first was published in 1859, he first sent

I asked Huxley to criticize him. After Huxley read it, he wrote a letter in which he warmly supported Darwin. insights.Darwin so grateful in a letter (November 25, 1859) wrote: "Your letter has been forwarded here by Tang En. It's like a person who received the anointing ceremony on his deathbed." Good catholic, now I can sing 'Lord, let me die in peace' up.Even if you only said a quarter of those things, that's more than enough to satisfy me. Exactly fifteen months ago, when I began writing this book, I had great Doubtful, I thought maybe I had deceived myself, as many people do, so I

Three referees have been identified, and I have decided to mentally follow the decisions of these referees, the three referees The judgment is Lai Yier, Hu Ke and you.So I am very eager to know your judgment.right now I am Satisfied, I can sing 'Lord, let me die in peace'..." (according to Translation of "Darwin's Life and His Letters" by Ye Duzhuang and Meng Guangyu) What made Darwin so happy and grateful to Huxley?we just read h Xu Li received the letter that Darwin first sent a copy to him after printing. Letter, you can know.Huxley begins his letter by saying:

"I finished your book yesterday. It was due to an examination which was given by chance, which made I get hours of continuous leisure time.Since I read von Baer's paper nine years ago Since then, none of the works on natural history that I have read has left such a deep impression on me. I thank you most sincerely for the wealth of new perspectives you have given me.I think this The style of this book couldn't be better, it can touch people who don't know anything about the subject people who get it.As for your theory, I'm ready to burn at the stake - if it's necessary -

— Also support Chapter 9, and most of Chapters 10, 11, and 12 Minute……" It was so that the following year the Bishop of Oxford's conference on the "Origin of Species" At the meeting, Huxley openly accepted the bishop's challenge and asked him if he also believed that "man is a monkey" Descendant of a monkey," said he would rather be a descendant of monkeys than an ignorant man with religious prejudice Come the Scary Bishop's Descendants! These few answers of Huxley, if they were in medieval Europe, they could have been burned at any time. of.

There is a small warship in England, immortalized in Darwin's name, this is the only two hundred The thirty-five-ton brig "Beagle".December 27, 1831, this An armed galley set out from the port of Deon, with the purpose of going to South America to conduct hydrographic surveys, It took five years to go through the coasts of the Atlantic Ocean, the Pacific Ocean, the Indian Ocean and the islands, sailing around the world. After a week of traveling, he returned to England in October 1836.It this time in the hydrographic survey draw fine I have gained a lot from the work on the secret navigation map.But it made this little boat famous in history.

But it is due to the fact that among the members of the expedition team on board, there is a young scientist, This man is Darwin. Darwin was only twenty-seven years old at the time, and he participated in the of this expedition.Originally, the expedition mission of the Beagle did not include natural sciences. Darwin's chance to participate was all due to Captain Fitzroy's private wish. The members of the police team included a naturalist, so they asked a friend to find out from the University of Cambridge, Darwin Henslow's teacher recommended this student.Darwin's father wanted him to continue studying medicine, but instead

Fortunately, he was persuaded by his uncle to let Darwin go to participate in this kind of scientific investigation. To continue to study the scientific work he likes.So the world is almost without Darwin and "Darwinism", because Darwin later published the theory of biological evolution, most of which are It was established based on the observations made in various places during this round-the-world travel and the research on specimens collected. The Beagle returned to England in 1836 after completing her voyage around the world.Darwin Root Based on the notes and travel diaries he made on the ship, he wrote his investigation report, and for the first time in

Published in 1839, as an appendix to the official voyage, later supplemented with revised, and published a separate booklet, which is now a natural science classic "A Self- A Naturalist's Travels Around the World aboard the Beagle. The Descent of Man, published in 1859 and 1871, These two backbone works of Darwin's theory of evolution, the main argument is from the material of this travelogue stretched out.The first two books are more specialized scientific works, and the travelogue is not only related to natural science In addition to the observations, and the local customs, travel experience, it can be read as a general travel note.

Therefore, this book is more popular with many readers. Darwin's "A Naturalist's Travels Around the World on the Beagle", China There is already a Chinese translation of Zhou Bangli, which was published by Science Press, with more than 600 pages in sixteen pages. In terms of translation, layout and printing, the huge volume can be said to be very solemn and up to the standard Yes, the book is preceded by an introduction by Professor Sopoli: "Darwin's Travels Around the World and its The meaning in the history of natural science", which introduces the characteristics and benefits of this book in great detail.
