Darwin Day is an annual event open for all, non-biologists as well as
biologists!
DAY: Friday 12 February 2010
TIME: 10.15-16.00
VENUE: Aud. 1, Helga Engs hus, University of Oslo (Blindern)
We humans are ourselves shaped by natural selection. Now fishing and
hunting by humans are the main causes of mortality in many populations
of wild animals, resulting in both ecological and evolutionary change.
The rates of change in harvested populations can be astonishingly high,
and far outpace changes arising from natural causes. The changes may be
difficult or impossible to reverse, and the ecological and economical
consequences can be dramatic.
At Darwin Day 2010 some of the very best scientists and communicators in
theirs fields will present state-of-the-art knowledge about
human-induced evolution in terrestrial, freshwater and marine ecological
systems.
