DARWIN DAY Darwin's ideas verified, disputed over years
By Samantha McDaniel Activities Editor
Speaker Eric Meikle said fossil proof is continuing ro verify and re· fUle the evolutionary ideas of Charles Darwin. . Meikle, rhe education project di rector for the National Center for Science Education, spoke about Charles Darwin and his ideas of hu man evolution during "Darwin and the Human Fossil Record: 150 Years of Discovery, Exploration and De bate" on Monday. Meikle said Darwin did nor base his ideas off of fossil evidence, be cause during his time, there were not many fossils recovered. Darwin based his ideas off of live organisms around during his time, Meikle said. "That's one way to learn about the past is have the physical evidence, bur you can acrually come up wirh ideas about rhings rhar might have happened in rhe pasr, just by look ing at organisms rhar are alive today," Meikle said.
