Darwin Blogs

You must be thinking about the title, what Darwin has to do with blogs or rather with the blog labelled "Best Blogs". Just a little offbeat today because today is Charles Robert Darwin, the great scientist's 200th birthday. So as a doctor i decided to dedicate this post to the great man who proposed the "Theory of Evolution through Natural Selection". Today i am going to take you on a ride which sheds light on Darwin through this blog.


This website provides a full biography about Charles Darwin, his various publications & manuscripts. It also provides great pictorial timeline. Here are a few great pics :-





Another website which describes in detail the Darwin's theory in paragraphs & classic pictures can be easily accessed here :-

Finally on a passing note, some fun facts about Darwin.

My friend really digged the news & wrote this interesting post on it – IPL : Anti-national? As we all know this IPL has been mired with controversies all around, but there are always some surprises when it comes to ...

Indian livestock & global warming

Global warming is high on agenda everywhere these days. Be it the latest Earth Hour or the controversial Australian forest fire, its the most debated topic in recent times. But yesterday a news story at TIME caught my attention, there was a picture of an Indian cow below the words global warming. So i just gave it a go & i was surprised or say shocked at the facts revealed. According to this story, “ Indolent cows languidly chewing their cud while befuddled motorists honk and maneuver their vehicles around them are images as stereotypically Indian as saffron-clad holy men and the Taj Mahal. Now, however, India's ubiquitous cows — of which there are 283 million, more than anywhere else in the world — have assumed a more menacing role as they become part of the climate change debate. By burping, belching and excreting copious amounts of methane — a greenhouse gas that traps 20 times more heat than carbon dioxide — India's livestock of roughly 485 million (including...
