#OnThisDay in 1859, Charles Darwin's landmark book 'On the Origin of Species' was first published. The work is one of the foundations of evolutionary biology, and one of the most important scientific works of the 19th century. #HistoryOfScience

It’s in the book DISSENT OF MAN

Did you know that an estimated 75% of infectious diseases originate from animals? Our misuse of biodiversity has consequences for human health

It’s time to transform how we engage w/ nature because when we prioritize healthy ecosystems, we safeguard our own well-being

'Where conflicts of science and religion arose, then and after, the issue was not so much whether science contradicted the Scriptures, but how much latitude for interpretation there was in the latter – and whose interpretation should prevail.'

“Hurrah the monkey book has come!” Charles Darwin wrote to his friend Thomas Huxley #OnThisDay in 1863, on receiving his new book: Man's Place in Nature. In the text, Huxley addressed human origins, "the question of questions for mankind, a problem that underlies all others."

[Debunking Denialism @debunkdenialism]

@LiarDarwin @CaveatLector That has been debunked many times before. https://t.co/vAmldRdo7l

Matthew was not a uniformitarian, did not think natural selection changed species between catastrophes and did not accept continuous evolution.

Apples and oranges.

[jfderry @JFDerry]

Yup

Believing conspiracy theories isn't always a sign of stupidity. It may be a mark of narcissism.

Grandiose narcissists want to feel special. "I know something you don't."

Vulnerable narcissists have self-centered paranoia. "Of all the people, powerful groups are out to get ME."

@QuietJeffR There’s definitely a spiritual hole in our brain DNA.

In our favourite letters series for #DarwinDay, Alison Pearn talks about a letter Darwin wrote to his friend Joseph Hooker after finishing corrections to the fifth edition of Origin of Species in 1869. Learn more about the changes Darwin made to Origin and the six editions.

Most popular post so far this month with 100s of views: how someone claimed to have made an important discovery, but all they did was confirm what the original author said decades before, then go get the related science wrong anyway. https://t.co/nnVcvjvSmD
