“It is not the strongest of the species that survives, not the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is the most adaptable to change.” Charles Darwin

Evolution is not a story that has finished. It continues today and will continue. After publishing On the Origin of Species (1859), Darwin complained that we would never be able to prove the existence of evolution because he thought that it was so slow and gradual that it would be impossible to observe. Today, works like that of the Grants in the Galapagos Islands (precisely on Darwin’s finches) have shown that we can study evolution live. And culture, as another biological adaptation (and one not exclusive to humans), also affects the evolution of species: in prehistoric times, we learned to domesticate plants and animals by modifying their genome; now, we do it in the laboratory with transgenic techniques. But we should not fool ourselves: above technology or artificial selection is natural selection.

Today, is the 216th anniversary of the birth of Charles #Darwin, a day to celebrate Darwin, natural selection and #evolution.

Happy #DarwinDay!
