host: a text message, could you talk a little bit about your relationship with charles darwin and the history of evolution. in his view, the illustrated origin of species is the definitive version and your tangled tree brings a story into the 21st century area -- century. guest: darwin has been important to me ever since i started reading about him back in the 1970's. i was asked eventually by an editor friend of mine to write a short book, short biography on charles darwin. that became my book the reluctant mr. darwin published in 2006. that was the only time i have ever written a book on assignment. a wonderful editor was developing a series of concise literary biographical books to be no longer than about 200 pages. he asked me, would you do darwin? there have been great long biographies of darwin, a great biography by janet brown. other 800 page biographies. i said, how could i compete with them? he said they are not your competition, they are your sources. write us the story of darwin in less than 200 pages and so i took the assignment and decided the way to do this was to focus

which is naturalist charles darwin noted in his journal during his expedition to the galapagos in 18. 35. the spiders were entangled in the ships reeking many miles from shaw and in the 2nd ta for the 19th century. french scientist louis past due proved through a series of experiments. the particles were continuously suspended in the yeah, he called them organized coal puzzles, as to is remembered, is one of the fathers of modern micro biology. tobacco sits and strikes meningitis around that time. scientists discover diseases could be caused by such and bacteria. a new branch of science was born and wrote biology. scientists began comparing measurements in the same amount of that $55000.00 bacteria were found in the bustling pollute as a valley in paris. but only $7600.00 were found among the trees in a box. in the swiss alps, the hotel even advertised with assign the claimed only $25.00 bacteria. the. then there was the work of legendary pilot charles lindbergh in the 19 searches he attached and a d. c device to his plane and then flew over the icy landscapes of northern canada, coll

was a really hot topic and for obvious reasons and it's the most contentious idea and that was charles darwin evolution by natural selection. he said this is a chain of species over unimaginable amount of time and can see these studies and you can see these relationships i'm talking about so they went out the with these guys. oc marsh was a professor of paleontology atpa keio with the wealthy and the way. these two guys are superstars and are engaged in this ferocious competition bitter enemies and spurred them scoop the other one, front page news. read the front page in the rivalry of these two guys, the loading and hatred but the result was hundreds of species. this is a popular topic at the time. we take it to the great plains and american southwest. what was interesting to me t whn i got into it is these guys were superstars. some of the most interesting work iser being done by westerns themselves. self trained paleontologists making these discoveries. bill reed was a neat hunter in the union pacific railroad and they would see those guys and they are interested in reading up on this and

this it was a very hot topic spoke to most contentious idea of the day that is charles darwin's theory theories of evolution by naturalme selection. you could see the relationships. so the bone hunters went out. two most famous of them, these guys. ofeal marsh . and o, from yale, and a wealthy independent researcher, they were super stars. they were engaged in this ferocious competition. with a bitter, bitter enemies that spurred them to keep trying to scoop the other one. this is front page news, you would read front page articles in "new york times" toto the rivalry between those two, a great story, great press. but the result was hundreds of new ancient species were unearthed by these guys and the people who were working with them, this is a popular topic at the time. the west was the center of the act,ce in particular the great plains and american southwest. what is interesting to me, is thatt these guys were super stars, some of the most interesting and vital work was being done by westerners, the self trained paleontologists making fundamental discoveries, here is one, bill reed,

then i added rachel carson, who i have loved her thinking so much and charles goldwyn -- charles darwin, to show good writing can be messed with exploration. jenn: david, your background? david: i thought you were going to ask about the dinner. [laughter] i don't know. have lost relatives recently so the first thing i would do is just be with people who passed. i father passed during covid so i would probably have dinner with him. but i would like to sit down with roger ravel and say, you are exactly right. 50 years and it was 50 years. what got me into the environment? i cannot believe we got this screwed up. i wanted to tell the story so nothing like this would happen again. we had an incredible history and we did not act. that seemed like a story worth telling because there is so many great things we do as a people, that sometimes we do not always pay the bills we do not like paying on time. this was a great way to remind people. jenn: time for one more question. >> you talk about the political battle between republicans and democrats, but there is also the context of the urban/rural

in the footsteps of charles darwin, as part of the project , enthusiasts and environmentalists plan to journey across four continents. anchoring in 32 ports, including those visited by a british naturalist, sailing takes place on a restored dutch schooner , organizers say. they want to plant trees to conduct research on the condition of corals and explore the different impacts on coral reefs explore the biodiversity of the ocean. at the same time, e will have to not only see the problems, but also explore and also try to solve them . it took 10 years to prepare the expedition. as a result, about 50 people from around the world were selected for the team. that's so insanely interesting, i'll tell you that in fact, this is our trip to garbage, or on a small yacht. it was my big dream and still is because i just listened to e songs performer yuri loza why was she small then yeah? and ha, yes, it's interesting, the joke was not, in fact, you take it and go and see, the whole world, you literally. you hug, it's the same, the main thing, yes, live in such a way as to hug this world. and who

this ward darwin ward is the most rural in greater london, so named because charles darwin lived andd here for 40 years. and actually the landscape that you see is completely unchanged from when he was here. indeed, there's actually a bid in for this to become a unesco world heritage site. now i do accept that this is the most rural example in greater london that we could have chosen . but it isn't just have chosen. but it isn't just people living within the zone that affected. it's those that are affected. it's those living counties all living in the counties all around greater london that are affected too . well, there we affected too. well, there we are. >> there we are. it's difficult to believe that this could be greater london, but it is . we've greater london, but it is. we've got a pretty enthusiastic audience here this evening to say the very least. but that does conceal a mask, i think, for many people, considerable angen >>a angen >> a lot of people here, sadiq khan, will tell you only 1 in 10 cars are not complied with. ulez well, that may be the case in chelsea and kensi

and that was charles darwin's theories of evolution and by natural selection. you test darwin's ideals darwin said okay this is this is a change of species that happens over unimaginable amounts of time and what you can see you know these if you study these ancient these species you'll be able to see these relationship that i'm talking about. so these bone hunters went out there. the two most famous them were these guys. after you'll see marsh, nobody is of sun after you anymore. oh, see marsh edward. author o.c. marsh was a professor paleontology at yale. cope was, a very wealthy independent researcher. these two guys were the they were the superstar and they were engaged this ferocious competition. they bitter bitter bitter enemies. and that, of course, spurred them to do to keep trying to to scoop or to scoop the other one. this is front page news would read front page articles in new york times on the rivalry between these two guys and the hatred. the open loathing and hatred between them is a story, you know, great press. but the result was hundreds of new

charles darwin to patrol those darwin used to patrol those streets. a few local business away from the business owners away from the beaten really, fear beaten track really, who fear that they going to be most that they are going to be most negatively upon by a negatively impacted upon by a clean air charge that , frankly, clean air charge that, frankly, they don't think really affects them. i spoke to emma, a local hairdresser, who wrote this to say what very concerned aren't you about these ulez charges? why? >> well , first and foremost, we >> well, first and foremost, we can't afford to change our car. the price of petrol cars have gone through the roof . um, it's gone through the roof. um, it's because the clients that i have outside of the area, if their car is not ulez compliant, they're going to have to pay an extra £12.50. >> so let's deal with the first one first then. so your own car is a diesel is a diesel same? yeah. and so that would cost you £12.50 a day just to get into work. >> £87, £0.50 a week. yeah. yeah yeah. just to come to work.

then i added rachel carson, who i have loved her thinking so much and charles goldwyn -- charles darwin show good writing can be messed with exploration. jenn: david, your background? david: i thought you were going to ask about the dinner.

and the darwin 200 set sail from plymouth , retracing the plymouth, retracing the footsteps of charles darwin

in the footsteps of sir charles darwin, an international group of 200 young scientists set out on a greatlutionary theory two centuries ago. a sailing ship will pass exactly through the same countries, continents and islands, specialists will study animals and birds that darwin once discovered. it is possible that new species discovered by modern naturalists will be added to the atlas. the first stop was in the canary islands, and then the scientists returned to their native shores across the atlantic to brazil. only after 2 years darmit, by the way, once spent 5 years on the journey. hmm times are changing acceleration the wind has become stronger discover new talents among actors directors. can be on kaliningrad film festival under the name, in short, in the competitive program only premieres. in short, this is an opportunity to get a ticket to the world of big cinema and a program of debut full-length pictures. for the most part of the competitions of the participants in the festival of short films of past years, the director baibulat, batula, who received a special prize at the festiv

almost 200 years after charles darwin's famous voyage to the galapagos islands, a team of naturalists in york. now, what is also happening as pollen levels are high across england and wales, sally mentioned this early on. we are talking about wood pollen at this time of year, but if you are allergic to that, it is worth knowing before you step out. today is going to be a day of sunshine, bright spells and some showers. this morning the showers are few and far between, just a couple across scotland we will see further ones developed through the morning. the same across northern ireland, england and also wales, but at this stage in the day, most of us will miss them and it will be sunny and a dry start. but through the day, as fairweather clive develops, —— fairweather clive develops, —— fairweather cloud develops, we have light winds, and temperature is 15-25 c. light winds, and temperature is 15—25 c. through this evening and overnight, most of the showers will fade, but we will hold onto patchy cloud and light rain. across the west and south, we could see some mist and fog patches wh

i didn't realise there was a nor did i realise it was charles darwin described it as hideous . as hideous to have to do some. no. didn't like it. >> do you remember the falklands. that was in falklands. i thought that was in scotland with that first town. i thought, we with thought, why are we at war with scotland? and know, scotland's. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> point taken. shall we move on to a topic that always gets people going on? gb news in the mirror. one of your stories begins. 74% demand action on danger dogs. well i think quite rightly too. >> i mean , this terrifying story >> i mean, this terrifying story in the mirror about my jack lost his life, but the culprits jail term was an insult. and of course, this is he was this poor boy, jack liz was ten years old, was mauled to death by this dog. and i just don't understand how this can happen. i mean, is it because they're inbred some of the dogs? >> i think it's how they're raised . i mean, i suppose you raised. i mean, i suppose you would have a dog that would be naturally if naturally more aggressive if it's raised in a certain way.
