@checkoutanytime One actor did but ok, never mind.

@tindrummer dito!

@checkoutanytime John Wilkes Booth was named after the British MP John Wilkes, a supporter of the American Revolution.

@LeopoldBloom and Charles Darwin was as well, did you have a valid point?

@checkoutanytime Just a coincidence.

Charles Darwin was born in 1809, a little late to support the American Revolution. Or did you mean Charles Darwin was named after John Wilkes? I'm confused.

@LeopoldBloom he was using his fajers/ grand Pappas works observering nature, and mutilated them, I'm fairly certain the prior to Charles was also anti brit/ a revolutionist.

@checkoutanytime Charles Darwin made his own observations; he didn't "mutilate" anything. He didn't come up with the concept of evolution by natural selection since it was first mentioned by the Roman poet Lucretius. All Darwin did was describe the mechanism in detail, although he was hampered by his inability to explain how characteristics were passed down. Mendel's pioneering work in genetics and heredity still lay in the future.

In France, Lamarcke is considered the "father of evolution" because his explanation, while incorrect, predates Darwin's. Lamarcke believed that acquired characteristics could be passed down, a forgivable error as he wasn't familiar with genetics either.

@LeopoldBloom no Charles manipulated his grandfather's writtings

@checkoutanytime Have you read [i]Origin of Species[/i]? It's easy to come up with a theory, but not as easy to support it with real-world observations.

Lucretius, the Roman poet, said [quote]All things, including the species to which you belong, have evolved over vast stretches of time. The evolution is random, though in the case of living organisms, it involves a principle of natural selection. That is, species that are suited to survive and to reproduce successfully, endure, at least for a time; those that are not so well suited, die off quickly.[/quote]

However, Lucretius did not explain the mechanism for this, or catalog any observations in support of his statement. Erasmus Darwin didn't do much better. It was his grandson who provided the detailed explanation of natural selection that has been refined since then but never superseded.
