For anyone ...Sign me up for the class action suit!<br /><br />For anyone interested, this time last year I did a series of posts, lifting more passages from Darwin's geological writing and including links to the incredible online resources of his correspondence - see http://throughthesandglass.typepad.com/through_the_sandglass/2009/02/in-high-spirits-darwin-on-geology.html<br /><br />and subsequent posts.Michaelhttp://www.throughthesandglass.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5859094080858570248.post-13698191950983442582010-03-13T03:21:54.542+05:302010-03-13T03:21:54.542+05:30Indeed, Darwin's geological credentials were i...Indeed, Darwin's geological credentials were impeccable. In fact, his geological background and thinking likely conditioned his later thoughts on evolution. I have made this point in my review of a fascinating exhibition in the University of Cambridge. You can view it here: http://www.nature.com/ngeo/journal/v2/n10/full/ngeo649.html. <br /><br /><br />PS - You may find Ross Stein's work on the Global Earthquake Model interesting (http://www.globalquakemodel.org/).I have chatted with Ross about it, and it seems like a really useful initiative.Ninad R Bondrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05780584234900236320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5859094080858570248.post-54651459347757448382010-03-12T02:42:12.503+05:302010-03-12T02:42:12.503+05:30Nice post.

In his Beagle notebooks 1,383 pages were geology compared to only 368 on biology.<br /><br />He was awarded the Wollaston Medal from the Geological Society before "On the Origin .." was published.<br /><br />In notebook M, p39 he refers to himself "I a geologist".hypocentrehttp://hypocentral.com/blognoreply@blogger.com
