One of the birds Darwin shot and preserved when he was the naturalist on HMS Beagle. Now in the Cambridge Museum of Zoology.
Darwin stickers and some evolution temporary tattoos sent to me by a biology prof in the states as an apology if he'd creeped me out when he emailed me (after seeing me on twitter) to ask if I'd knit a pair of anti-creationist underpants for him.
Context: the anti-creationist underpants weren't his idea, someone had already done a knitting pattern.
Full shot of the envelope this came in can be seen here
this is how a proper evo x should look like, respect to the owner, interested to know if it's got any modifications under the hood.
Vogue Evolution got voted off of America's Best Dance Crew and that was their sign. I liked them. They were fun :D
Green filter = tan.
Evolution - Let there be Light. Licht, veel licht was er zeker! Wat een mooie licht- en lasershow. Dat maakt het werk voor partyfotografen leuk en uitdagend :) Behalve mooi licht, werd er ook nog eens top gedraaid. Held van de avond voor mij was toch zeker wel Markus Schulz. Het was voor mij wel even wennen de weg die Tiesto in slaat. Je kunt het mooi vinden of niet, hij blijft zichzelf vernieuwen. Dat was aan de set bij Evolution ook goed te horen. En dat is zeker knap als je al zolang meegaat als Tijs. Al met al een topweekend, met eerst Reloaded..... Dance into the Future en daarna Evolution - Let there be Light. Thx. Radio 538 voor de uitstekende organisatie. Hopelijk krijgt dit initiatief een vervolg volgend jaar.

(It's a video, click play!) To celebrate what would've been Darwin's 200th birthday, the Open University have come up with Devolve me! - here are the results!
That's just a red evolution outside my window. When will my car evolve to something like this? ;)
Tech: new 55-200mm lens allowed me to take it just from my window. Slight PS work - sharpen, levels, noise-ninja.
View Large on black - trust me :)
In his 1995 book "Darwin's Dangerous Idea: Evolution and the Meanings of Life", philosopher Daniel Dennett refered to Darwin's theory as a "universal acid" which "eats through just about every traditional concept, and leaves in its wake a revolutionized world-view, with most of the old landmarks still recognizable, but transformed in fundamental ways"
I wonder what he would be capable of today where not only we decode DNA, something that he wasn't aware of, but also sequence entire genomes (a group of italian researchers did Pinot Noir's grape two years ago).
Also his great idea appears to be far more complex as DNA sequencing is revealing some interesting things. Of course bold New Scientist dedicated the cover story to it.
Organisms are not only passing their traits down (vertically) to their offsprings, but also across huge taxonomic distances, in what is known as horizontal gene transfer (HGT). This horizontal swapping of genes seems to happen both at unicellular (bacterias) and at multicellular level. HGT in multicellular organisms is known as hybridisation and its most likely caused by viruses and bacterias. Turns out that cow genome contains a piece of snake DNA transfered horizontally by a virus 50 billion yrs ago - the NS goes on mentioning many other examples. I bet gene fusion will reveal that we too have random DNA pieces that support vital functions in the organism.
It seems like there's a big messy shuffling going on; "If there is a tree of life" says John Dupre' at Exeter Uni "it's a small anomalous structure growing out of the web of life".
Well it seems like the tree isn't the only pattern, if there's one at all.
