On this ID The Future, we bring you excerpts from a recent gathering to celebrate the life of biologist Dr. Jonathan Wells, who passed away in September 2024 at the age of 82. Dr. Wells was one of the first fellows of the Discovery Institute's Center for Science and Culture. In 2000, Wells took the science world by storm with Icons of Evolution, a book showing how biology textbooks routinely promote Darwinism using bogus evidence — icons of evolution like Ernst Haeckel's faked embryo drawings and peppered moths glued to tree trunks. Dr. Wells's achievements in the field of biology are notable. In this episode you'll get a glimpse into Dr. Wells's life and character as well as his relentless search for scientific truth. This episode includes eulogies from Dr. John West, Dr. Paul Nelson, Dr. Richard Sternberg, and Dr. Casey Luskin. Learn more about Jonathan Wells at www.jonathanwells.org. Source

Hello Interactors,My daughter has developed a keen interest in synthesizers. She has even created illustrated characters named Morg and Snorf, inspired by keyboard brands like Korg and Nord. Recently, she borrowed an old Korg synthesizer and has begun composing her own music during what she calls, “Korg time”. The evolution of electronic music has been remarkable since its inception, with even classical composers now embracing technology in their work. Notably, Ada Lovelace, one of the earliest computer programmers, foresaw in 1842 that computers would eventually be used for music composition — a prediction that has come to fruition.The blending of acoustic music and computer-generated sounds prompts me to reflect on how we shape our environment, which in turn shapes us. This interplay mirrors the story of evolution: nature nurturing nature ad infinitum. However, I wonder if technology as we know it today will ever truly integrate into the fabric of nature. Will we see human-like robots or robot-like humans? What if technology is already embedded within nature, and we are on the brink of learning to program it just as we would a computer?Let's find out…MAN OR MACHINE?“Are we not men?” This was a question presumably posed to and by members of the band DEVO who masquerade as part human and part machine. The answer by the humorous humanoids was “We are Devo!”. This question and answer became the title of their first album in August of 1978. It served as both a declaration of their band name, DEVO, but also as a rhetorical question that questioned humanity during the early rise of digital technology and its perceived, and actualized, dehumanization.DEVO is an abbreviation of the term de-evolution. The band's founding member, lead singer, and keyboardist, Mark Mothersbaugh had come across a 1924 pamphlet produced by Rev. B.H. Shadduck titled “Jocko-Homo Heavenbound” which critiqued, often humorously, Darwinian evolutionary theory.“Jocko-Homo” translates to Ape-Man which refers to human's evolution from apes. The critique is born out of teleology — the belief organisms are the design of a Christian god…and may be subject to evolutionary decay. Some claimed that by not adhering to the moral precepts of strict forms of Christianity, like dancing or drinking alcohol, that you could pass along devolving genes to your children. As a society, it could lead to a backwards slide of humanity, a devolution.As art students at Kent State, Mothersbaugh and co-founding member and friend Gerry Casale were mostly drawn to the satire and comedic illustrations in ‘Jocko-Homo'. But the book's premise came to the fore when they witnessed the killing of student war protesters in 1973. It made them wonder if perhaps humans really were devolving. After all, the Ohio National Guard had acted more like killing machines, not thinking or feeling humans. They seemingly failed to ask themselves, “Are we not men?”Mothersbaugh and Casale had already begun experimenting with guitar laden punk rock when Mothersbaugh saw Brian Eno perform a synthesizer solo with the band Roxy Music. He'd heard plenty of synth solos from other bands of the 1960s and 70s, but no one played it like Eno — bending and twisting electronic knobs and dials like guitarists and singers bend strings and larynx muscles. Eno sounded and dressed like he'd been transported from the future or another planet.Just a few years later, Brian Eno became the producer for DEVO's first album, “Q: Are we not men? A: We are Devo!”. The album included the song “Jock-Homo” which featured short bursts of monkey sounds Eno synchronized with the machine-like beat of the song. Much like acts of the time, like Roxy Music and David Bowie, DEVO leveraged stage theatrics to convey their message. Their performances featured matching futuristic outfits, often with their red signature energy dome hats. Their choreographed robotic movements reinforced a cyborg-like identity serving as a visual critique of modern society's mechanization.As AI and robots of today have captured the attention of a global society seemingly in decay, it may sound cliché to say, but they, and their contemporaries, were ahead of their time. While I don't believe we are devolving, I do think DEVO accurately portrays, both theoretically and practically, a blending of man and machine that may just be part of developmental evolution — though perhaps not exactly as Darwin had envisioned. Interestingly, DEVO could not have known their band name would become part of a branch of evolutionary biology, called Evo-Devo, or evolutionary developmental biology. That abbreviated term emerged in the early 1980s, perhaps inspired by DEVO.GEOGRAPHY GUIDES GROWTHEvo-Devo, which evolved from 19th-century embryology, explores how the development of an organism grows and matures from a single cell into a fully formed adult. It considers how cell division, their differentiated specialization for specific functions, the development of the resultant organism's shape, and body structures and organs shape evolution.Early thinkers like Karl Ernst von Baer and Ernst Haeckel recognized how species shared similar early developmental stages but then differentiated at later stages. The genetic underpinnings of this wouldn't be fully understood until much later. Darwin recognized these genetic developments as potential drivers of evolutionary change, but it took the Modern Synthesis of the 1930s — which focused on genetics and natural selection — to realize these ideas.By the 1970s, the discovery of mutation genes like Hox genes (which control the body plan of animals) reignited interest in the connection between development and evolution. This research demonstrated how small tweaks in developmental processes could lead to dramatic changes in form. In the 1990s, Evo-Devo solidified as a field, with researchers like Sean B. Carroll emphasizing gene regulation's critical role in shaping life's diversity.Today, Evo-Devo has expanded, embracing genomics and epigenetics to explain how organisms evolve through the complex interplay of genetic and environmental factors, reflecting a broader and more dynamic vision of evolution. In a sense, DEVO's fusion of human and machine echoes these evolutionary dynamics, where both biological and technological systems evolve through reconfiguration and integration, creating emergent complexity that Darwin could not have imagined.While Darwin spent years observing the interplay between biology and the physical environments of the Galápagos and beyond, he also could not have fully anticipated the extent to which physical forces directly influence biological development and shape natural selection.Physical forces play a crucial role in shaping the development of complex biological structures. Mechanical stress, for instance, influences how cells behave during growth and regeneration. Cells respond to tension and pressure in their environment through mechanotransduction — where physical signals are converted into biochemical ones — allowing tissues to adapt to their surroundings.This process is essential, for example, for the simple healing of a small cut to the complex formation of organs where precise force patterns ensure proper development. Similarly, physical stressors like fluid dynamics and gravity are critical in determining the structural features of organisms. In mollusks, for example, the formation of their shells is heavily influenced by the mechanical forces exerted by water currents and the mollusk's own movements. These physical inputs guide how calcium carbonate is deposited, shaping the unique curvature and strength of their shells. These examples highlight how environmental forces and biological development are deeply intertwined, driving evolutionary change through the interaction of physical and genetic processes.This view aligns with the work of researchers like Michael Levin, who propose that environmental cues, including bioelectric and biochemical signals, play a crucial role in guiding the development and behavior of organisms. Michael Levin is a pioneering figure in the field of developmental biology and regenerative medicine, where his groundbreaking work explores how organisms use bioelectric signals to guide growth, regeneration, and even behavior.His research has expanded our understanding of how cells communicate beyond traditional biochemical and genetic pathways, showing that electrical signals between cells play a critical role in shaping an organism's development. Levin, and his collaborators, has demonstrated how manipulating these bioelectric signals with computer programs, they can reprogram biological processes — enabling, for example, the regeneration of complex structures like limbs in animals.This represents a major shift in biology, as it challenges the conventional view that genetic blueprints alone dictate development, highlighting instead the role of bioelectricity as an under appreciated but vital component of life's regulatory networks. In other words, genes can be thought of as hardware and they communicate, collaborate, and compete through bioelectronic circuitry, or software.BLURRING BOUNDARIES, REDEFINING LIFEMichael Levin's research, and others, emphasize that biological systems — whether single cells or complex organisms — operate through networks of bioelectrical, biochemical, and biomechanical signals, processing information much like computers. Cells communicate and make decisions through these signals, allowing them to respond to their environments. In this way, living organisms already function as computational entities, capable of performing sophisticated tasks typically associated with artificial systems.Levin's vision extends into synthetic biology, where organisms might be engineered to function like programmable devices. By manipulating bioelectric and cellular signals, scientists could design organisms capable of performing specific tasks, responding to commands, or adapting their behavior, effectively merging biology with computation. This concept could, for example, blur the distinction between biological pets and programmable machines, imagining a future where living systems are fully customizable.This integration of biology and technology is further reflected in the development of soft robotics and biohybrid systems, where machines incorporate biological tissues for enhanced sensory and adaptive functions. Levin's work on bioelectricity supports the idea that these biological machines could operate through naturally occurring computational processes, challenging traditional distinctions between organic life and artificial intelligence.Clearly these developments raise profound ethical questions, and Levin is the first to say it. It poses many questions about the nature of intelligence, the potential for sentient machines, and the rights of biologically-based computing systems. But these developments could also help advance some of our most pressing health problems.Including in the brain. There's already a brain grown in a petri dish that can learn to play Pong. Called organoids, these are lab-grown, miniature models of human organs, developed from stem cells, can replicate structural and functional characteristics of actual organs.Brain organoids, in particular, mimic basic aspects of brain architecture and neural activity, allowing researchers to study development, disease, and neurological functions in controlled environments. These "brains in a dish" have advanced to the point where they can exhibit learning behaviors, like playing Pong.In this experiment, a brain organoid was connected to electrodes, which allowed it to interact with a simplified version of game. Over time, the organoid learned to play the game by modulating its neural activity in response to feedback from the game environment. This groundbreaking demonstration revealed the potential of organoids not only for studying brain function but also for creating neural systems capable of learning and adapting, pushing the boundaries of artificial intelligence and bioengineering.Such advancements highlight the possibilities of merging biological neural systems with computational tasks, a direction that may influence both neuroscience research and the future of AI. I wonder if DEVO ever imagined their man-machine themes and robotic humanoid movements would have emerged, in experimental form, in their lifetime.DEVO and their contemporaries didn't just create music; they engineered an evolutionary shift in sound that mirrored both cultural and biological processes. By blending analog instruments with emerging technologies like synthesizers and drum machines, their work reflected the modularity featured in Evo-Devo, where biological traits evolve through the recombination of existing genetic modules. Just as Evo-Devo shows how small adjustments in developmental pathways lead to novel evolutionary outcomes, DEVO's music was a synthesis of tradition and innovation, where new soundscapes emerged from reconfiguring the familiar all influenced by the culture and environment in which they exist. This creative evolution parallels biological processes, where complexity arises not linearly but through recursive adaptation and innovation often resulting in sudden unexpected leaps.Much like geography's dynamic role in shaping biological evolution, DEVO's sound was also shaped by external forces — cultural, technological, and industrial. In biology, physical environments like mountains, rivers, and urban landscapes impose selective pressures that drive adaptation, and similarly, DEVO's music arose at the intersection of human creativity and technological advancement. These external forces didn't serve merely as a backdrop but as active, reshaping elements, much like how geographic isolation on islands drives rapid speciation. The adaptability of organisms to urban environments mirrors how DEVO adapted the rigid precision of machines into organic, expressive art, blending the mechanical with the human, much like how species blend with their changing habitats.This fusion of man and machine is now emerging in the cutting-edge field of synthetic biology, where organisms are engineered to function like programmable devices. In the same way that DEVO's music blurred the lines between human creativity and machine precision, synthetic biology allows for living systems to be designed with programmable traits, merging the biological with the technological. Maybe Morg and Snorf will not just be 3D models on a 2D screen, but real bio-sythentic musical pets that invent and collaborate on music together — and with us.These biohybrid systems, where living organisms can perform tasks traditionally associated with machines, further illustrate the evolution of complexity through reconfiguration. Whether in music or existence, the distinctions between what is natural and what is artificial are growing more ambiguous, illustrating the continuous evolution driven by adaptation, creativity, and the interaction with outside forces.

What happens when your deepest faith is tested by unimaginable suffering? In this episode, I talk with David Libby, who explains how he and his family contracted Lyme disease.  He shares the emotional and physical toll of watching his wife and daughters endure excruciating pain, while he himself became their primary caregiver despite his own illness. A self-taught student of theology, well-versed Christian apologist and published author, David has much to offer on the topics of theology, atheism, and adversity with insights from historical figures like Ernst Haeckel and Charles Darwin.  We explore the dysteleological argument, its counterpoints to the teleological argument for God's existence, and the biblical perspective on imperfections in the world. This episode encourages you to hold onto faith and find comfort in God's presence, even amidst life's most challenging trials.David's book on Amazon:https://www.amazon.com/Different-World-Gods-Sovereignty-Suffering/dp/B0C9S8SK5M

Natürlich haben sich die Menschen aller Zeiten darüber Gedanken gemacht und dazu ihre Theorien entwickelt. In der Neuzeit, und vor allem seit Darwin, kam aus zweierlei Gründen Bewegung in diese Frage. Die Wissenschaften wurden weitgehend atheistisch. Ferner stellte sich immer mehr heraus, dass die Schöpfung kein statisches Gebilde war, sondern dass sich die Welt »irgendwie« entwickelt hatte. Das war insofern eine neue Lehre, als die Weltsicht der Aufklärung davon ausging, dass die Welt immer so war, wie sie sich augenblicklich darbot, und dass sie immer so bleiben würde.Nun aber war durch Darwin »Entwicklung« angesagt, und darauf baute Darwin seine Evolutionslehre auf. Der Menschheit wurde nun nahegebracht, dass sie, »salopp gesagt«, vom Affen abstammte. Der Mensch wurde auf das biologisch Greifbare seines Wesens reduziert. Sonst war er also nichts. Ernst Haeckel, Biologe und Bewunderer Darwins, befasste sich mit der Entwicklung des menschlichen Embryos und versuchte zu beweisen, dass der Embryo bis zur Geburt alle Evolutionsstufen durchlaufen würde. Das aber stellte sich als falsch heraus. Der Mensch ist also doch von seinem Anfang an Mensch. Das aber passt nicht so recht in unsere Welt, in der erlaubt ist, was gefällt, und wo die Achtung vor dem Menschen als Geschöpf Gottes nicht gern gehört wird, weil sie dem eigenen Tun entgegensteht.Wer jedoch daran festhält, was schon vor rund 3000 Jahren jemand zum Ausdruck brachte (siehe Tagesvers), um den ist es nicht schlecht bestellt. Er weiß sich gehalten von einem Schöpfer, der sich in Jesus Christus als der treue und zuverlässige Gott bewiesen hat, der uns Menschen liebt und unsere »Entwicklung« zu einem Ziel zu bringen vermag, das wir niemals von uns aus erreichen könnten.Karl-Otto HerhausDiese und viele weitere Andachten online lesenWeitere Informationen zu »Leben ist mehr« erhalten Sie unter www.lebenistmehr.deAudioaufnahmen: Radio Segenswelle

Ernst Haeckel, a German Zoologist, is famous for developing a series of images of embryos in development called Anthropogenie. These images, supposedly proof of evolution, dominated culture and textbooks for some time. But Haeckel was wrong, and the damage he caused has never quite been undone. What happened?

En el invierno de 1866 y 1867, el naturalista alemán Ernst Haeckel pasó unos meses en Lanzarote con el objetivo de ampliar la teoría de la evolución de las especies, publicada 7 años antes por el británico Charles Darwin. Esta estancia le sirvió para confirmar algunas de sus hipótesis, pero también para dejar constancia de sus impresiones sobre la realidad de esta isla a mediados del siglo XIX. Repasamos su estancia, sus impresiones y sus descubrimientos con Marcos Sarmiento, doctor por la ULPGC y profesor en el Departamento de Filología Moderna en esta universidad.

The investigation has reached the Hungerplan of the NSDAP-Reichsministers of Agriculture, Herbert Backe and Richard Walther Darré. In due manner we will see how the 20th century's largest man made famine came about and how it continues to shape our contemporary time. How did Backe outmanoeuvre his mentor to conquer the throne of evil? What really happened in the central black earth region, the largest magnetic anomaly on Earth known as Kursk? And why are the warmongers there today again? We go looking for the origins of the "Drive to the East" narrative, Blood and Soil and the mythology of the black on white cross of the Teutons. I'll read the addresses to the nation by Fichte and attack it with satirical poetry from Marx's third cousin Heinrich Heine. This and much more awaits you if you will join me in the very emotional and mind altering fourth instalment of The Return Of The Repressed Ecofascism series.  SOURCES Music:Penderecki: Symphony No. 3 / Threnody Niccolò Paganini: Caprice no. 5 Sumina Studer John Mayall: Out Of Reach Jesse Ahmann - Montana Cellist : “Emotional Cello improvisation”.

This summer, in a major new exhibition, you can see how documenting the animal world has resulted in some of humankind's most awe-inspiring art, science and sound recordings: Animals: Art, Science and Sound is now open at the British LibraryPart of the exhibition is dedicated to darkness and Steve got to have a preview of what's on show a couple of days before the exhibition opened. In this interview with Cheryl Tipp, curator of Wildlife and Environmental Sounds, Steve discovers what can be heard in the exhibit as well as what bat recordings lie in the archive. Hear the recordings of horseshoe bats made on one of the first commercially available bat detectors; the Holgate Mk VI and you can see this detector within the exhibition along with photographs of the waveforms it could make from recordings. It sits alongside other important works such as Ernst Haeckel's Kunstformen der Natur (Artforms in nature) with the plate of bats on display. Cheryl also explains how you can submit your bat recordings to the library for adding to the archive.The exhibition is open until Monday 28th Aug 2023. Tickets and all the information you need can be found on the Animals: Art, Science and Sound website.Follow Cheryl Tipp on twitter.Discover more about John Hooper on page 13 of this journal.Listen to the Holgate recordings of greater horseshoes again on the British Library archive page as well as Cheryl's recording of common pipistrelles.We've been selected by the Big Give for this year's Green Match Fund; every donation we receive up to £5000 will be doubled.

(https://youtu.be/aQguO9IeQWE) Il problema più grande con l'IA! (https://youtu.be/7emz4zZ226E) Ho provato a usare l'intelligenza artificiale. Mi ha spaventato. (https://youtu.be/jPhJbKBuNnA) Schemi ed analogie (https://macintelligence.org/posts/2023-03-23-schemi-e-analogie/) Machine learning ricerche ad Apple (https://machinelearning.apple.com/) ML di Apple Live Text CoreML Live Captions o sottotitoli live Idee di Bill Gates (https://www.gatesnotes.com/The-Age-of-AI-Has-Begun) Espunti interessanti estratti dall'articolo e tradotti (con il traduttore di Apple): Alla fine il tuo modo principale di controllare un computer non sarà più puntare e fare clic o toccare menu e finestre di dialogo. Invece, sarai in grado di scrivere una richiesta in inglese semplice. (E non solo l'inglese: le AI capiranno le lingue di tutto il mondo. In India all'inizio di quest'anno, ho incontrato sviluppatori che stanno lavorando su IA che capiranno molte delle lingue parlate lì.) Inoltre, i progressi nell'IA consentiranno la creazione di un agente personale. Pensalo come un assistente personale digitale: vedrà le tue ultime e-mail, saprà delle riunioni a cui partecipi, leggerà ciò che leggi e leggerà le cose di cui non vuoi preoccuparti. Questo migliorerà il tuo lavoro sui compiti che vuoi fare e ti libererà da quelli che non vuoi fare. Problemi con IA Quando chiedi a un'IA di inventare qualcosa di fittizio, può farlo bene. Ma quando chiedi consigli su un viaggio che vuoi fare, potrebbe suggerire hotel che non esistono. Questo perché l'IA non capisce abbastanza bene il contesto della tua richiesta da sapere se dovrebbe inventare hotel falsi o parlarti solo di quelli reali che hanno camere disponibili. Le IA superintelligenti sono nel nostro futuro. Rispetto a un computer, il nostro cervello opera a ritmo di lumaca: un segnale elettrico nel cervello si muove a 1/100.000 la velocità del segnale in un chip di silicio! Una volta che gli sviluppatori possono generalizzare un algoritmo di apprendimento ed eseguirlo alla velocità di un computer - un risultato che potrebbe essere a un decennio o un secolo di distanza - avremo un AGI incredibilmente potente. Sarà in grado di fare tutto ciò che un cervello umano può, ma senza alcun limite pratico alla dimensione della sua memoria o alla velocità con cui opera. Questo sarà un cambiamento profondo. L'intelligenza artificiale non controlla ancora il mondo fisico e non può stabilire i propri obiettivi [NdR FS non del tutto vero] Libri consigli da gates: - Superintelligence, by Nick Bostrom; - Life 3.0 by Max Tegmark; and - A Thousand Brains, by Jeff Hawkins (https://www.gatesnotes.com/A-Thousand-Brains). Modi di essere. Animali, piante e computer: al di là dell'intelligenza umana (https://amzn.to/3nzdfMB) di James Bridle Alcuni spunti interessanti estratti dal libro: Voglio suggerire tre principi che dovrebbero guidare quella conversazione. In primo luogo, dovremmo cercare di bilanciare le paure sugli aspetti negativi dell'IA, che sono comprensibili e validi, con la sua capacità di migliorare la vita delle persone. Per sfruttare al meglio questa straordinaria nuova tecnologia, dovremo proteggerci dai rischi e diffondere i benefici al maggior numero possibile di persone. In secondo luogo, le forze di mercato non produrranno naturalmente prodotti e servizi di intelligenza artificiale che aiutano i più poveri. È più probabile il contrario. Con finanziamenti affidabili e le giuste politiche, i governi e la filantropia possono garantire che le IA vengano utilizzate per ridurre l'iniquità. Proprio come il mondo ha bisogno delle sue persone più brillanti focalizzate sui suoi più grandi problemi, dovremo concentrare le migliori IA del mondo sui suoi più grandi problemi. Anche se non dovremmo aspettare che questo accada, è interessante pensare se l'intelligenza artificiale identificherebbe mai l'iniquità e cercherebbe di ridurla. Hai bisogno di avere un senso della moralità per vedere l'iniquità, o lo vedrebbe anche un'IA puramente razionale? Se riconoscesse l'iniquità, cosa suggerirebbe di fare al riguardo? Infine, dovremmo tenere a mente che siamo solo all'inizio di ciò che l'IA può realizzare. Qualunque limite abbia oggi sarà sparito prima che ce ne accorgiamo. IA competitiva L'attuale forma dominante di intelligenza artificiale, quella di cui tutti parlano, non è né creativa né collaborativa né fantasiosa. O è totalmente asservita - stupida, francamente - o è oppositiva, aggressiva e pericolosa (e forse sempre stupida). E analisi dei modelli, descrizione di immagini, riconoscimento facciale e gestione del traffico; è prospezione petrolifera, arbitraggio finanziario, sistemi di armi autonome e programmi scacchistici che distruggono completamente l'avversario umano. Compiti competitivi, profitti competitivi, intelligenza competitiva. In tutto questo, l'IA competitiva ha una caratteristica in comune con il mondo naturale, o meglio con l'errata concezione storica che abbiamo di quest'ultimo. Essa immagina un ambiente sanguinario in cui l'umanità nuda e fragile deve combattere con forze devastanti e soggiogarle, piegandole alla sua volontà (di solito, maschile) sotto forma di agricoltura, architettura, allevamento e addomesticamento. Questo modo di vedere il mondo ha prodotto un sistema di classificazione a tre livelli in base ai tipi di animali in cui ci imbattiamo: animali domestici, bestiame e fiere selvatiche, ciascuno con i suoi attributi e atteggiamenti. Trasferendo questa analogia al mondo dell'IA, sembra evidente che finora abbiamo creato perlopiù macchine addomesticate del primo tipo, iniziando a recintare un allevamento del secondo e vivendo nel timore di scatenare il terzo. Ecologia della tecnologia Dobbiamo imparare a convivere con il mondo, anziché cercare di dominarlo. In breve, dobbiamo scoprire un'ecologia della tecnologia. Il termine «ecologia» fu coniato alla metà del XIX secolo dal naturalista tedesco [[Ernst Haeckel]] nel libro Generelle Morphologie der Organismen («Morfologia generale degli organismi»). «Per ecologia,» scrive «intendiamo la totalità delle scienze delle relazioni dell'organismo con l'ambiente, incluse tutte le condizioni dell'esistenza nella loro accezione più ampia.» Il termine deriva dal greco oikos (oikos), che significa casa o ambiente; in una nota, Haeckel fa riferimento anche al greco xwpa (chora), cioè «luogo di residenza». L'ecologia non è semplicemente lo studio del posto in cui ci troviamo, ma di tutto ciò che ci circonda e che ci permette di vivere. John Muir, amante della vita all'aria aperta e padre del sistema dei parchi nazionali negli Stati Uniti. Riflettendo sull'abbondanza di vita complessa in cui si imbatté mentre scriveva il libro La mia prima estate sulla Sierra, afferma semplicemente: «Se cerchiamo di isolare un oggetto qualsiasi, scopriamo che ogni cosa è ancorata a tutto il resto dell'universo». La tecnologia è l'ultimo campo del sapere a scoprire la propria ecologia. Quest'ultima è lo studio del luogo in cui ci troviamo e delle relazioni tra i suoi abitanti, mentre la tecnologia è lo studio di ciò che facciamo in quel posto: Téxv (techne), ossia arte o mestiere. Se la mettiamo così, le due sembrano alleate per natura, ma la storia della tecnologia è perlopiù un racconto di cecità intenzionale nei confronti del contesto e delle conseguenze della sua attuazione. AI user friendly Molti di coloro che si occupano direttamente di IA presso Facebook, Google e altre aziende della Silicon Valley sono più che consapevoli delle potenziali minacce esistenziali della superintelligenza. Come abbiamo visto, alcuni dei protagonisti del settore tecnologico - da Bill Gates ed Elon Musk a Shane Legg, il fondatore della DeepMind di Google - hanno espresso preoccupazione per la sua comparsa. Ma la loro risposta è di tipo tecnologico: dobbiamo progettare l'IA in modo che sia friendly, incorporando nella sua programmazione le tutele e le procedure necessarie per garantire che non diventi mai una minaccia per la vita e per il benessere dell'uomo. Questo approccio sembra insieme ottimistico ai limiti dell'assurdo e ingenuo in misura preoccupante. È anche in contrasto con l'esperienza che abbiamo accumulato finora con i sistemi intelligenti. Nella storia dell'IA, i modelli di intelligenza che cercano di descrivere una mente completa attraverso un insieme di regole prestabilite non sono mai riusciti a raggiungere i loro obiettivi. L'azione giusta, in altre parole, non dipende dalla preesistenza della conoscenza giusta - una mappa delle strade o una gerarchia delle virtù - ma dal contesto, dalla sollecitudine e dalla cura. Una macchina preprogrammata per essere friendly non ha meno probabilità di investirvi, o di trasformarvi in graffette, di un'altra predisposta al commercio, se i suoi calcoli la considerano l'azione più etica in quelle circostanze. AI News Roundup: Alpaca, BritGPT, AI di Stanford in Gdocs & Sheets - le IA SaaS sono obsolete? (https://www.reddit.com/r/EntrepreneurRideAlong/comments/11yfl3i/ai_news_roundup_stanfords_alpaca_britgpt_ai_in/) Estratto della sintesi tradotto in italiano (traduzione servizio di Apple) L'alpaca di Stanford I ricercatori di Stanford hanno svelato un modello di intelligenza artificiale (AI) che si comporta quasi alla pari con ChatGPT, ma è costato loro solo 600 dollari per allenarsi. Alpaca è una variante di sette miliardi di parametri dell'LLaMA di Meta. È stato messo a punto utilizzando 52.000 istruzioni generate da GPT-3.5 (ChatGPT). (Proprio come il modo in cui i tester umani sono stati utilizzati per mettere a punto ChatGPT, Stanford ha usato il modello dietro ChatGPT per addestrare la loro Alpaca AI.) Nei test, Alpaca ha funzionato in modo paragonabile al modello di OpenAI, ma ha prodotto più allucinazioni. L'alpaca è significativo perché ha dimostrato che costruire e addestrare nuovi modelli di intelligenza artificiale può essere follemente economico. Questo potrebbe potenzialmente consentire a più persone, compresi i cattivi attori, di creare nuovi modelli economici. Mostra anche che una volta reso pubblico il tuo modello, anche senza rivelare il suo codice, può essere usato per costruire modelli migliori dai concorrenti (come usare ChatGPT per istruire Alpaca durante l'allenamento). Questo potrebbe rendere aziende come OpenAI, Google e Microsoft ancora più aggressive nel proteggere la loro tecnologia proprietaria? Sul lato positivo, il futuro in cui sarai in grado di allenare la tua IA ChatGPT-like usando il tuo computer si è appena avvicinato. AI in Google Workspace e Microsoft 365 Entrambe le società hanno indicato che l'IA sarà fortemente incorporata nelle loro app. Google ha mostrato immagini della loro intelligenza artificiale utilizzate in Gdocs per scrivere articoli completi, in fogli per scrivere formule e in diapositive per generare presentazioni complete con testo e immagini generate dall'IA. La demo di Microsoft era migliore. Hanno mostrato i loro strumenti di intelligenza artificiale dal vivo in azione. La loro Copilot AI sarà disponibile in app come Word, Presentation, Excel, ecc. e sarà in grado di aggregare i dati su qualsiasi argomento in queste app per rispondere a domande, pianificare riunioni, generare risposte, ecc. Copilot sarà anche in grado di prendere appunti dal vivo nelle riunioni e ricapitolare la discussione fatta finora. Anche se questo significa un enorme aumento della nostra produttività, significa anche la morte di molte aziende SaaS costruite attorno alla fornitura di funzionalità basate su GPT in queste app. Anche strumenti come Jasper potrebbero essere resi obsoleti. Rilascio limitato di Bard Google ha iniziato a lanciare il suo chatbot AI Bard, ma è disponibile solo per alcuni utenti negli Stati Uniti e nel Regno Unito e devono avere più di 18 anni. La risposta iniziale a Bard è stata tiepida con gli utenti che si lamentano che è molto inferiore a Bing Chat. Dimostra meno creatività ed è incline a più errori matematici. In effetti, un pulsante per "Google It" appare dopo ogni risposta del bot, come un indicatore della propria insicurezza. È apparentemente più veloce di Bing, ma questo è probabilmente dovuto a un modello più piccolo. Un modello più piccolo spiegherebbe anche le sue scarse prestazioni. OpenAI svela GPT-4 GPT-4 è multimodale, il che significa che accetta sia input di testo che di immagini. È meglio e più sicuro di ChatGPT. Alcune delle sue abilità: - GPT-4 può comprendere i mockup disegnati a mano e convertirli in codice del sito web funzionante. - Può analizzare documenti complessi come i codici fiscali, ma anche eseguire una matematica accurata oltre a citare leggi e principi appropriati per calcolare le tasse. - GPT-4 supera anche GPT 3.5 negli esami umani come Bar, SAT e GRE (punteggi nel 90° percentile rispetto al 10° percentile di ChatGPT) e ha una memoria contestuale molto più lunga. - È disponibile solo nell'abbonamento a pagamento ChatGPT Plus e tramite una lista d'attesa API. Bing chat ha anche utilizzato una prima versione di GPT-4 nelle ultime 5 settimane. Sono curioso dei risultati che potremmo ottenere se Alpaca fosse addestrato usando un modello LLama più grande e messo a punto con GPT-4. Inizia la corsa globale all'IA Il governo del Regno Unito sta investendo 900 milioni di sterline nel supercomputer come parte di una strategia di intelligenza artificiale che include la garanzia che il paese possa costruire il proprio "BritGPT". L'obiettivo è contrastare l'influenza dell'IA della Cina e garantire che il Regno Unito rimanga competitivo nel campo dell'IA. PaLM e Makersuite di Google Google Cloud ha annunciato che le sue applicazioni basate sull'intelligenza artificiale (AI), come l'API Pathways Language Model (PaLM) per i modelli linguistici e lo strumento di prototipazione Makersuite, sono ora disponibili per gli sviluppatori. Google Makersuite è un ambiente di prototipazione per testare e migliorare le idee per le applicazioni di intelligenza artificiale generativa. È un'app che aumenta l'API PaLM con modi per progettare prompt, produrre dati sintetici e personalizzare la messa a punto di un modello. Con MakerSuite, gli sviluppatori possono iterare sui prompt, aumentare il loro set di dati con dati sintetici e sintonizzare facilmente modelli personalizzati. Ernie di Baidu Ernie è un modello di deep-learning di elaborazione del linguaggio naturale (NLP) sviluppato da Baidu, una multinazionale tecnologica cinese. Il modello contiene parametri 10B e ha raggiunto un nuovo punteggio all'avanguardia sul benchmark SuperGLUE, superando il punteggio di base umano. È probabile che Ernie goda di un significativo vantaggio di mercato sul suo territorio d'origine rispetto ai prodotti fabbricati negli Stati Uniti, a causa sia della spinta della Cina per l'autosufficienza tecnologica che della rigorosa censura di Internet del paese. Tuttavia, la sua demo è stata una presentazione poco brillante con risposte pre-registrate. L'incursione di Apple nei LLM Si dice che Apple stia sviluppando un'IA per rivaleggiare con ChatGPT. Il rapporto del New York Times afferma che Apple ha recentemente condotto un evento interno incentrato sui contenuti di intelligenza artificiale generativa e sui grandi modelli linguistici (LLM), che sono le reti neurali che alimentano i chatbot come ChatGPT. Apple ha un'enorme riserva di cassa e con il loro track record AlexaTM di Amazon Il modello AlexaTM 20B di Amazon è stato recentemente nelle notizie. È un modello di linguaggio sequence-to-sequence (seq2seq) da 20 miliardi di parametri che presenta prestazioni all'avanguardia. Il modello è ora disponibile per uso non commerciale per aiutare lo sviluppo e la valutazione di modelli linguistici di grandi dimensioni multilingue (LLM). Il modello è disponibile anche in Amazon SageMaker JumpStart, l'hub di apprendimento automatico di SageMaker. E ha mostrato prestazioni competitive su compiti e benchmark NLP comuni (SuperGLUE e XNLI). Midjourney rilascia la V5 Midjourney v5 porta con sé "efficienza, coerenza e qualità" migliorate, ha detto Midjourney sul suo sito web. La V5 ora risponde con una "range stilistica molto più ampia" rispetto alla versione 4, pur essendo anche più sensibile ai suggerimenti, generando meno testo indesiderato e offrendo un aumento di 2 volte della risoluzione dell'immagine. Midjourney v5 può generare abbastanza bene mani umane realistiche, il che era un problema con le versioni precedenti. Ha anche generato ritratti credibili di esseri umani e persone in pose naturali. Allontanerà opportunità ai piccoli modelli e ai grafici? Bing AI Image Creator di Microsoft Microsoft ha dato al suo generatore di immagini AI il proprio sito Bing Create dedicato. Bing Image Creator è alimentato da una versione avanzata del modello DALL-E di OpenAI e funziona sorprendentemente bene anche con input di linguaggio naturale. Le immagini sono libere di creare e più sei descrittivo, migliore è l'output che ottieni. Sono particolarmente entusiasta dell'uso della generazione di immagini AI nella narrazione. C'è il potenziale per nuove startup di genere in questo spazio che utilizzano storie generate dall'IA e le combinano con immagini di intelligenza artificiale e voci fuori campo di intelligenza artificiale per esperienze di narrazione realistiche e personalizzate.

On today's ID the Future historian Richard Weikart (Cal State Stanislaus) dissects a recent Cambridge University Press book on social Darwinism by Jeffrey O'Connell and Michael Ruse. Weikart, author of Hitler's Ethic, From Darwin to Hitler, Hitler's Religion, and The Death of Humanity, says a major shortcoming of the Cambridge UP book is the authors' attempt to put as much distance as possible between Darwin and eugenics thinking, and between Darwin and Hitler. The new book paints Darwin follower Herbert Spencer as the eugenics-championing bad guy and contends that Darwin and Darwinism had little or no influence on Hitler's warped master-race ethic. Weikart patiently highlights some key evidence to the contrary, including statements front and center in Hitler's writing. Did Darwin cause Hitler? No. Would Darwin have approved Read More › Source

Un saludo amigos y mecenas. Hoy os ofrezco una exposición del positivismo alemán del XIX, una filosofía que no gustó nada a los comunistas (tanto Marx como Engels escribieron contra ellos) y que inició agrias polémicas con los científicos cristianos. Su tesis principal es que la ciencia es el único conocimiento posible y todo puede explicarse mediante presupuestos materialistas. ÍNDICE: 1. Jakob Moleschott y la sacralización de la materia y de la vida. Nacido en Bolduque (Países Bajos) en 1822, Moleschott estudió en la Universidad de Heidelberg, empezando sus prácticas de medicina en Utrecht en 1845, desplazándose más tarde de nuevo a Heidelberg, donde se graduó en fisiología en 1847. Posteriormente ejercería como profesor de fisiología en Zürich (1856), Turín (1861), y Roma (1879), donde falleció en 1893. 2. Carl Vogt (positivista materialista), opuesto a Rudolf Wagner (científico cristiano alemán) con respecto a la existencia del alma. Vogt (5 de julio 1817 - 5 de mayo 1895), fue un destacado científico alemán que emigró a Suiza. Realizó varias aportaciones dentro de la zoología, la geología y la fisiología. También incursionó en la política, ya que fue miembro del Parlamento de Fráncfort, en Alemania, y más tarde se involucró en la política de Suiza. 3. Ludwig Büchner y la eternidad de la materia. Büchner (Darmstadt, 29 de marzo de 1824 - 1 de mayo de 1899) fue un filósofo, escritor y médico alemán del siglo XIX. Fue partidario de las ideas de Charles Darwin y defendió la primacía exclusiva de la ciencia y la materia como fuente de conocimiento por encima de todas las formas de saber teológico y metafísico. 4. Emil Du Bois-Reymond y «los siete enigmas del mundo». Emil du Bois-Reymond (7 de noviembre de 1818 - 26 de diciembre de 1896) fue un médico y fisiólogo alemán descubridor del potencial de acción nervioso y desarrollador de la electrofisiología experimental. 5. Ernst Haeckel y el mundo sin enigmas. Haeckel (Potsdam, 16 de febrero de 1834-Jena, 9 de agosto de 1919),​ fue un naturalista y filósofo alemán que popularizó el trabajo de Charles Darwin en Alemania, creando nuevos términos y conceptos como «ecología», «filo», «ontogenia», «filogenia», «monofilético» o «polifilético». 6. El positivismo social de Ernst Loas y Friedrich Jodl. 7. Eugen Dühring y el socialismo personalista. Dühring (12 de enero de 1833, Berlín - † 21 de septiembre de 1921, Berlín) fue un profesor de mecánica, abogado, filósofo y economista alemán. Friedrich Engels escribe entre 1877 y 1878, "La subversión de la ciencia por el señor Eugen Dühring", más conocido como Anti-Dühring, en el quepolemiza con dicho autor, abordando la filosofía, la sociología y las ciencias naturales desde un punto de vista marxista. ***** Música de la época: Sinfonía nº 6 de Chaikovski "Patética", estrenada en octubre de 1893, unos meses después del fallecimiento de Jacob Moleschott. **** Imagen de Eugen Dühring. ****** Pulsen un Me Gusta y colaboren a partir de 2,99 €/mes si se lo pueden permitir para asegurar la permanencia del programa ¡Muchas gracias a todos!

Dr Rob spills the beans about several things he no longer believes, including Darwinian evolution, the simplicity of bacteria, Linnean taxonomy, and the thought that the human embryo goes through the stages of evolution as it develops.

Ernst Haeckel (1834 - 1919) war einer der einflussreichsten Naturphilosophen des 19. Jahrhunderts. Er war Mediziner, Zoologe, Philosoph und ein großer Unterstützer von Charles Darwins Evolutionstheorie. Er konnte auch ziemlich gut zeichnen. In seinem Sammelband "Kunstformen der Natur" hat er wunderbare, hochästhetische Zeichnungen von Organismen aller Art hinterlassen. Allerdings vertrat er auch die Ideologie der Rassenhygiene und der Eugenik, die später von den Nazis bereitwillig aufgenommen wurden. Haeckel bewegte sich oft an der Grenze zwischen Wissenschaft und Philosophie. Er formulierte etwa die sogenannte biogenetische Grundregel, die im Kern besagt, dass jeder Organismus in seiner Embryonalentwicklung noch einmal die gesamte Evolution seiner Art rekapituliert. Platt gesagt: Ein menschlicher Fötus im Mutterleib durchläuft im frühen Stadium noch einmal etwa eine Fisch- und eine Amphibienphase. Eine interessante Theorie, die aber so nicht mehr haltbar ist. Ein wenig esoterisch klingt auch ein Vortrag aus dem Jahr 1918 zum Thema "Kristallseelen". Haeckel liest aus seinem gleichnamigen Buch, das ein Jahr zuvor erschienen war. Darin wirbt er zunächst für die Idee von der Einheit der Natur – eine Ansicht, die auch der modernen Naturwissenschaft nicht fremd ist. Sie besagt im Wesentlichen, dass alle Erkenntnisse etwa über das Leben auf der Erde am Ende mit physikalischen Gesetzen im Einklang stehen müssen. Haeckel dreht dabei aber den Spieß um und erklärt, dass sich das Konzept der Seele auch auf tote Materie – wie eben Kristalle – übertragen lasse. Dabei nimmt er Bezug auf mehrere Bücher aus dem Jahr 1904, in denen andere Autoren ähnliches behaupten. | Transkript des schwer verständlichen Vortrags und mehr zum Thema: http://swr.li/haeckel-kristallseelen

On today's Bible Answer Man broadcast, we present an episode of the Hank Unplugged podcast. Hank's guest is historian Richard Weikart, author of Darwinian Racism: How Darwinism Influenced Hitler, Nazism, and White Nationalism. Hank and Richard discuss groupthink and the collective embrace of eugenics, if Darwin was a racist, how Darwinism influenced eugenics, if racism is fundamental to Darwin's theory of evolution, why woke culture hasn't turned on Charles Darwin given his statements on women and other races, and the impact of Ernst Haeckel's drawings on education and evolution.

On today's Bible Answer Man broadcast (05/25/22), we pick up where we ended on our previous broadcast and present more of an episode of the Hank Unplugged podcast. Hank is talking with historian Richard Weikart, author of Darwinian Racism: How Darwinism Influenced Hitler, Nazism, and White Nationalism. Hank and Richard discuss if racism is fundamental to Darwin's theory of evolution, why woke culture hasn't turned on Charles Darwin given his statements on women and other races, the impact of Ernst Haeckel's drawings on education and evolution, Adolf Hitler's religious beliefs, how some liberal Christians love the ideology of Karl Marx despite his hatred of religion, the difference between Marxism and Nazism, and the moral implications of Darwinism.

Was Charles Darwin a racist? Does it even matter? The answer to both questions is a resound yes. According to Richard Weikart, Darwinian evolution influenced Hitler and the Nazis propagated evolutionary theory. Inspired by Darwin, the Nazis viewed the “Nordic race” as superior to other races and set about advancing human evolution by ridding the world of “inferior” races and individuals. But this isn't just a problem from the past, which is why Richard Weikart joined Hank Hanegraaff for this harmful history lesson of Darwinian racism to remind us that “those that fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.”For more information on receiving Dr. Richard Weikart's book, Darwinian Racism: How Darwinism Influenced Hitler, Nazism, and White Nationalism for your partnering gift please click here. https://www.equip.org/product/cri-resource-darwinian-racism-how-darwinism-influenced-hitler-nazism-and-white-nationalism/Topics discussed include: Groupthink and the collective embrace of eugenics (0:20); was Charles Darwin a racist?

Today's ID the Future brings listeners a lively conversation between radio host and bestselling author Eric Metaxas and historian Richard Weikart about Weikart's new book, Darwinian Racism: How Darwinism Influenced Hitler, Nazism, and White Nationalism. Weikart provides a quick flyover of the evidence that the outlook of Hitler, the Nazis, and contemporary white nationalists is significantly shaped by Darwinism and the arguments of early Darwinists. Metaxas and Weikart then contrast the Darwinian foundation for morality with the Judeo-Christian foundation, which holds that all humans are made in the image of God and therefore possess inherent worth, regardless of race and regardless of one's “fitness.” This episode is reposted here, with permission, from The Eric Metaxas Show.

Wolfgang Mahnke: Mit dem Forschungsschiff "Ernst Haeckel" ist er als Meeresbiologe um die Welt gereist, bekannt geworden ist er mit seinen Kolumnen und Geschichten. Mit Christian Peplow plaudert Wolfgang Mahnke kurz nach seinem 85.

Today's ID the Future features the second half of a recent webinar spotlighting historian Richard Weikart and his new book, Darwinian Racism: How Darwinism Influenced Hitler, Nazism, and White Nationalism. Here Weikart fields questions from the webinar audience. Along the way Weikart touches on the connection between Darwinism and scientific racism, the objection that Darwinism, properly understood, doesn't support scientific racism (much less Nazi racism), the racism inherent in Darwin's own writings and those of prominent early Darwinists such as Ernst Haeckel, and more recent manifestations of Darwinian-inspired scientific racism both academic and populist. This and much more is explored in Weikart's new book, available here. And for scientific reasons to reject Darwinism along with its racists implications, jump over Read More › Source

Today's ID the Future features the newly released Darwinian Racism: How Darwinism Influenced Hitler, Nazism, and White Nationalism by distinguished historian Richard Weikart. Here Andrew McDiarmid reads from the introduction and chapter one. Weikart begins his book by revisiting the harrowing Columbine High School mass shooting and underscoring the curious fact that one of the mass shooters, a white nationalist, claimed inspiration from not just Adolf Hitler but also Charles Darwin. Since Darwin was a peaceable Victorian English gentleman and naturalist, what possible connection could there be between Darwin on the one hand and Hitler and contemporary white nationalism on the other? Weikart shows that the connection is in fact quite clear from the writings of Hitler, Darwin himself, and Read More › Source

Today's ID the Future again spotlights The Comprehensive Guide to Science and Faith. Historian Richard Weikart and host Casey Luskin discuss Weikart's contribution to the new anthology, his essay “How Evil Has Been Done in the Name of Science.” As Weikart explains, over the past century and a half, science has been misused to fuel racist policies and undermine human rights. Darwinian ideas helped lay the groundwork for Nazi ideology in Germany. And we shouldn't imagine the problem was restricted to Nazi Germany. Scientific racism also reared its head in the United States, including in the long-running and infamous Tuskegee syphilis experiment. More broadly, a marriage of scientism and evolutionary thinking continues to undermine the idea of inherent human worth Read More › Source

 French inventor made a trap to catch hornets to save his bees! Someone discovered that dogs have a heat sense detector! Social scientists inadvertently lied in a study about honesty! For the main discussion, Dr. Carter tells us about Ernst Haeckel's diabolical fraud.

  In this episode we discuss Chapter 1 of Descent of Man and are joined by a special guest - Evolutionary developmental (EvoDevo) biologist Dr. Belinda Sly. Darwin spends the chapter documenting how human bodies show the scars from evolution past. Darwin takes two approaches in convincing the reader that humans are modified from "lower forms". In one approach he discusses how humans share ailments, diseases, and parasites with other animals. The argument of homology. The second argument Darwin uses is cataloging the various rudimentary, vestigial, and nascent structures humans have and how they are present and useful in other animals.Sarah highlighted the homology argument that Darwin used - the fact that humans share diseases and parasites with other animals, showing the similarity of our bodies with other animals - by discussing the diversity of human lice - head, body, and pubic lice. After explaining the differences between each, Sarah helped us understand how they are used to identify important points in our evolutionary past, when we became hairless and when we adopted clothes. The strongest homology argument that Darwin presented was the similarity in form of vertebrate embryos and how the new technology of the time - microscopes - was increasing that dataset.  Dr. Belinda Sly discussed the different scientists of the time that were documenting embryo development - Karl Ernst von Baer and Ernst Haeckel. There is great similarity in embryo forms for various vertebrate animals, although Haeckel seems to have exaggerated those similarities in his illustrations. Belinda discussed the power of the comparison of embryos, and how they do give the best evidence of evolution via descent with modification but fall short of the old adage "ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny".The second line of argument Darwin discussed was the various rudimentary or vestigial structures we have that are of "absolutely useless faculty".  In particular he spent some time highlighting our restricted ability to use our panniculus carnosus muscles to move our skin as illustrated in this GIF of a horse twitching its skin to dislodge flies. In humans the ability is mostly restricted to our ability to move our eyebrows, but Darwin discussed some families ability to move their scalp and Sarah shared her "lamest super power ever" ability to slightly move her ears. The opening and closing theme to Discovering Darwin is "May" by Jared C.

A classic argument for evolution says that different creatures have similar embryos, and therefore share an evolutionary ancestor. 19th-century biologist Ernst Haeckel famously forged drawings making embryos appear more alike than they are, and believed embryos re-enact evolution. While most scientists no longer believe this, textbooks still say embryo similarities show evolution in other ways. Let's continue examining these claims with the 7 Checks of Critical Thinking. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/answerstv/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/answerstv/support

The relationship between humans and apes has been discussed for centuries. That discussion took a new turn with the publication and reception of Darwin's On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection (1859). In her book, Man, the Ape: Anthropology and the Reception of Darwin in Germany, 1850-1900 (Bohlau, 2016) (Der Mensch, der Affe: Anthropologie und Darwin-Rezeption in Deutschland 1850-1900), Hanna Engelmeier analyzes several historical positions concerning the human-ape-relationship. By tracing back how the reception of Darwin changed thinking about apes, she concludes that there is not only an anthropology relating to humans, but also an anthropology concerning apes. Interestingly, Engelmeier discusses a wide range of thinkers from 1850-1900, including Ernst Haeckel, Friedrich Nietzsche and Gustav Klimt and also literary authors such as Wilhelm Raabe and Leopold von Sacher-Masoch.

Nick Hopwood‘s Haeckel's Embryos: Images, Evolution, and Fraud (University of Chicago Press, 2015) blends textual and visual analysis to answer the question of how images succeed or fail. Hopwood is Reader in History of Science at Cambridge University, and creator on the online exhibition “Making Visible Embryos,” which display some of the images from the book. Hopwood's ambitious book retraces the social life of drawings of embryos first produced in 1868 by the German embryologist Ernst Haeckel. The book follows the turbulent travels of the images across 150 years and three countries. Some of the perennial controversy surrounding the images centered on debates about Darwinism, for in them Haeckel drew the development of human embryos alongside that of other animals and, in retrospect, seemed to illustrate his famous claim that “ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny.” But Hopwood argues that, while Haeckel's reputation has continued to suffer from repeated allegations of fraud, his images have actually thrived on controversy, appearing in 2010, for example, on the cover of Nature magazine. Hopwood's far-reaching and intricate analysis explains how one of the most controversial images in the history of science–namely, Haeckel's embryo grid–has also been one of its most successful. The book is an essential study in the history of images and is itself a masterpiece of visual argument. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
