First, if you're planning to ask one of these Frequently Asked Questions, click on it to find the answer: I enjoy getting feedback from people who have found the site enjoyable or useful, and even from those who haven't. If you send feedback, I'll assume it's OK for me to put it on my feedback page unless you say otherwise. If you have a preference for how much of your name you want me to use, tell me. I don't, however, have time for a long chatty dialogue about creation and evolution, especially on topics unrelated to human evolution.
If, after all that, you would still like to send me email, my address is (no link provided, to thwart spammers; you'll have to type it into your email program) For some months in early 2009, I was using a different email address which had stopped working, so if you sent email then I probably didn't get it. This page is part of the Fossil Hominids FAQ at the talk.origins Archive. Evolution and Philosophy. Volution and philosophy have a relationship as old as the idea of evolution itself. This is partly due to the fact that science and philosophy only separated about the time evolutionary theories were being first proposed, but also because - especially in the Darwinian context - evolution was opposed to many cherished philosophical doctrines. The first main criticisms of evolution lay in the idea that species were eternal types, and so by definition species could not change.
More recently, criticisms have rested on the notion of science itself, that evolution fails to meet the standards of true science, views that also were expressed at the time of Darwin and earlier. If we are to understand these criticisms, we must understand the philosophy of science in some detail. Many other topics of philosophical debate have been raised, and they are briefly reviewed: reductionism, progress and directionalism, teleology, naturalism, and evolutionary ethics. Royal Society. Welcome to Trailblazing, an interactive timeline for everybody with an interest in science. Compiled by scientists, science communicators and historians – and co-ordinated by Professor Michael Thompson FRS – it celebrates three and a half centuries of scientific endeavour and has been launched to commemorate the Royal Society’s 350th anniversary in 2010.
Trailblazing is a user-friendly, ‘explore-at-your-own-pace’, virtual journey through science. It showcases sixty fascinating and inspiring articles selected from an archive of more than 60,000 published by the Royal Society between 1665 and 2010. Use the slider or the Forward/back 50 years arrows to move around the timeline. Best viewed at screen resolution of 1280x1024 resolution or higher. Scientific articles are displayed as red circles. Rollover the circle for a summary and click the tabs for more information. Historic events are shown by silver circles.
