A blunt, shit-stained instrument wielded indiscriminately to bludgeon pseudoscience, superstition, blind faith and common or garden irrational bollocks.

Happy Birthday Charles Darwin
Oooh. Look who's come over to celebrate Charlie D's Birthday.
Julian Huxley, E.O. Wilson, Ronald Fisher, Bill Hamilton, ?, Dawko, Charlie, Steve Gould, Alfred Russell Wallace, ?, Ernst Mayr, John Maynard Smith, J.B.S. Haldane
d'oh, nearly got Haeckel! Hmm...Jared Diamond is a tenous one, being "only" a pop sci author, rather than a major contributor to the field (then again, how much of Dawko's stuff is his own research...?)
Anyhoo, nice one - this can go on the sistine chapel ceiling, come the revolution ;)
Beautiful! Happy Birthday Charles!
ReplyDeleteWell done sir!
ReplyDeleteBut I am wondering whether the dude front left is that anti-scientific charlatan Sigmund Fraud?
Michael,
ReplyDeleteMr Freud did not get an invite. Evolutionary Biologists only I'm afraid.
I was hoping someone might be able to identify everyone, before I print the guest list.
can do all but 2:
ReplyDeleteleft-right,
Julian Huxley, E.O. Wilson, Ronald Fisher, Bill Hamilton, ?, Dawko, Charlie, Steve Gould, Alfred Russell Wallace, ?, Ernst Mayr, John Maynard Smith, J.B.S. Haldane

Spot on Alex.
ReplyDeleteThe two missing ones are:
Ernst Haeckel & Jared Diamond
d'oh, nearly got Haeckel!
