    This book is inspired by just such a cross-cultural encounter as that between Kamal the border raider and the Colonel’s son of the Guides. In the first chapter the author recounts a conversation that he, a biologist studying bird evolution, had in New Guinea in 1972 with Yali, a local politician preparing his people for self-government, which culminated in the searching question ‘Why is it that you white people developed so much cargo [goods] and brought it to New Guinea, but we black people had little cargo of our own’ [p. 14]. ‘Yali’s question’ plays a central role in Professor Diamond’s enquiry into ‘a short history of everybody for the last 13,000 years’, leading him into a wide-ranging discussion of the history of human evolution and diversity through a study of migration, socio-economic and cultural adaptation to environmental conditions, and technological diffusion. The result is an exciting and absorbing account of human history since the Pleistocene age, which culminates in a sketch of a future scientific basis for studying the history of humans that will command the same intellectual respect as current scientific studies of the history of other natural phenomena such as dinosaurs, nebulas and glaciers.…

    The Beak of the Finch is important and relatively timely book for at least two reasons. It addresses the fact of evolution and natural selection thus proving how evolution is possible and I fact the explanation for all the theories we are aware of today. Secondly, Weiner's novel provides a scientific base which in a convincing manner that not only supports the claims of Creationists, but also of the critiques of many evolutionary theorists concerning the sufficiency of Darwinism. Weiner uses his ability draw the reader in by exhibiting thrilling documented theories of the continuing operation of what Darwin had laid the groundwork for . Darwin's theories turned out to be the major strength in proving evolution, or better known as natural selection. This process is presented not as something that occurred only one time, or only in secluded area but rather occurred constantly. He notes this is happening all around us and is accessible for all to see.…

    Darwins Dangerous Ideas

    Charles Darwin was basically forced to go to school and learn medicine to become a doctor by his father. At the age of 16 he was enrolled at the Edinburgh, Scotland as a medical student. He showed little interest in medicine and was horrified by the brutality of the surgery that was performed with no anesthesia or pain relief, as anesthesia wasn’t used for operations until 1842. His knowledge of natural history was basically born while attending Edinburgh by a Professor by the name of Robert Grant, a highly reputable professor of anatomy and an avid marine biologist. At Grant's suggestion, Darwin also became a member of Plinian Society for student naturalists at the University of Edinburgh. Through the teachings of Grant he later attended Cambridge University and was introduced to the evolutionary ideas of Adam Sedgwick and John Henslow. He spent much time with them collecting specimens in the countryside around the university for research. In 1831 after graduating Darwin was able to acquire a position on a British navy mapping expedition that was going around the world which would be a five year long voyage. This was the famous voyage that Charles Darwin is known for. They sailed two days after Christmas on the H.M.S Beagle in 1831. This was the start of his “Career”. I find this extremely interesting because we have many theories that have branched of from Darwin’s expedition. And we still use his theory of evolution in anthropology and archeology, which after some 182 years we still use, definitely relates in the study of modern anthropology and science. The study of Darwin’s voyage from 1831-1836, allows us to learn about the evolutionary adaptations and animal life.…
