The thoughts about mushroom and Charles Darwin





The thoughts about mushroom and Charles Darwin

Sometimes people have thought about the similarity between toadstool and strawberry. Those mushrooms are poisonous, and if we think that toadstools are mushrooms, what would use dead cells as a nutrient, we must realize that the mushroom has benefited about these similarities. If some animal would eat the mushroom, what looks like a nice strawberry, that would cause deadly poisoning. This strange similarity has caused an idea in the mind of philosophers, who always are looking for answers for the most interesting and difficult questions.

The thing what this strange similarity has caused can the evolution be somehow controlled, what consists the thought, that could the species somehow control the internal evolution in the direction, where it wants? Of course, this kind of things are possible to make in the laboratory, but when we are thinking about the spontaneous forming of the species, we must ask one question more, and that is how those toadstools got their form? Or otherwise, how the strawberries got their form?

That kind of things can be explained by natural selection, that some mushrooms would take their form because the strawberries made animals think, that every red ball in nature was good to taste and full of vitamins, and then that idea started the nature to favor the mushrooms, what are looking like strawberries. Those mushrooms would get fresh nutrient if they would cheat the animal to eat those poisonous things.

But as we might realize the mysteries are not ending in the world. And the biggest mysteries can be found in our backyard. When we are thinking about Darwin and his Theory of Evolution, we must realize that he could collect all data, what that person needs from the British Islands. So the trip to Galápagos islands was unnecessary. If we want to make a model, how enriching the genetic material, we have not to go to some Galápagos islands.

We must only go to the British forests, and see how natural selection has influenced some butterflies, what are looking like the same butterflies, which can be found in continental Europe. But those butterflies have different colors. The same way the form of the toadstools has formed in history. But let's go back to Darwin, and his life, we must say that his Evolution theory has not questioned.

That thing is the fact and the thing what I wonder is, what was the role of Darwin in the famous "Beagle" ship? Was he some kind of scientist, member of the crew, or how he allowed to travel and collect samples? How did he explain those things to the crew and captain? There must be much space in that ship because Darwin could take his samples with him.

One world of Darwinism


Famous cartoon of Dr. Charles Darwin

One world of Darwinism

There are lots of strange things in history, and one of them is, why people attacked Charles Darwin's person so powerful? Above this text is the caricature, which is very well known from history. It's a very good example of the bad taste, and the thing is that the reason, why this cartoon is drawn is a mystery. Why did people want to pressure Charles Darwin with this kind of drawings? What was the purpose of those things? Was there something, what people wanted to hide? And was that thing connected to Darwin's work or his private life?

One of the most brilliant scientists in history was Charles Darwin, the man who created the Evolution theory, and you might look that theory from the Internet or lend the book about that from the local library. So here I will not write about the journey with the "Beagle" ship and Galapagos. I will write you something about the relationship with Darwin and the media. During the Victorian era, the acceptance process of the Doctoral Thesis was similar to modern time, and during this process, Darwin faced the critics, what was really non-relevant.

Darwin faced lots of exorbitant critics

Because Darwin proved that human has advanced from monkeys, on the front page of the magazines were published the images, where the body of monkey has been drawn the head of Darwin, and this thing was really disgusting. The reason why Darwin faced the harassment was something, what we can call as "absurd", and the reason why this kind of jokes have been made were that the University would deny the Thesis, what Darwin has made, and there were the chimpanzees in the zoo, which were named as "Charles" .

Sometimes we might think, that Darwin is one of the most denigrated persons in history. When we are thinking about this thing relationship with modern time, there is sometimes happened that some students have faced the exorbitant number of trolls, and sometimes the level of that kind of jokes is really uncivilized. About the case of Darwin, I have sometimes thought, that was there something, what people would want to hide because they were made those things to Darwin.

Boss is easy to find

During the modern time, there have been cases, that young people have forced to tell that they are believing in the creationism, what is actually pseudoscience, or actually, we can create new species by using genetic engineering. But that is the different story, and when we are returning about the creationism, those people have got troubles, when they are forced to tell that they are believing in the thing, like God who created human.

When we are thinking about this kind of things, we might notice the people relationship with the persons like Donald Trump. Nobody confesses to like that man, and the world afraid him, but there is one thing, what we must notice. When somebody has different opinions than some high-volume politician, Trump is very easy to find. Then the newspapers are full of articles, how Trump kicked somebody off because the reports were not satisfied with that man.

Six clicks separate people from each other.
