Darwin: 150 Years of Evolutionary Thinking (2)
Loading...
Uploaded by yalepeabodymuseum on Apr 24, 2009
In 2009 the Yale Peabody Museum commemorates the 200th anniversary of Charles Darwins birth and the 150th anniversary of the publication of The Origin of Species with a new original exhibition.
The exhibition will showcase current research that is the legacy of Darwins discoveries. We now know that evolution can happen quickly, at rates on par with changes in the environment. One example is the lowly Cane Toad, introduced to Australia in 1935 to control a pest insect. A failure, it overstayed its welcome, spreading across much of eastern Australia in the decades since. Rapid evolutionary change, including its longer legs, is contributing to the toads success in its new environment. Darwin: 150 Years of Evolutionary Thinking will show the immense relevance of Darwins discoveries, which today continue to inspire and illuminate.
