2009年是查尔斯·达尔文诞辰200周年,也是他的代表作《物种起源》出版150周年。在联合王国各地的大学和博物馆,举办了各种活动和展览来庆祝这一周年。事实上,从一个戴着假胡子和瘦腿帽的学者在做关于加拉帕戈斯群岛之行的幻灯片演示时,对查尔斯达尔文的模仿还算过得去,(牛津大学博物馆,2009年2月)的展览,提供了一个深入了解这位非凡的人,比如《起源》最后草稿的那一页,里面有一些可以辨认的铅笔算术--他的孙子们在一张废纸上做的作业!(塔尔博特赖斯画廊,爱丁堡,2009年秋季)在爱丁堡,我们声称达尔文是我们自己的一员。这是因为他花了他的高等教育的前两年在爱丁堡学习医学。[1]和那个年龄段的其他学生一样,达尔文并不是自己选择研究课题的,而是别人替他做的决定。达尔文的家族是医学世家;他的父亲是一位成功的医生,他的祖父伊拉斯谟达尔文是大教堂城市利奇菲尔德的著名医生,2也是前世纪以中部地区和陶器为中心的英国启蒙运动的关键人物。但是查尔斯达尔文并不是注定要成为一名医生,而且他确实不喜欢他的医学研究。他显然不喜欢手术(当然是麻醉前),觉得说教式的讲座很乏味。(我想补充一点,对于任何未来医学生的家长来说,我们的课程自1826年以来已经发生了重大变化,我们在教学内容方面的声誉非常好!结果,达尔文把时间都花在收集昆虫、观察自然历史和海洋生物上了。最终他放弃了医学,并在他父亲的指导下,就读于剑桥大学的本科学习,成为一名牧师。.剩下的,就像他们说的,都是历史了
The year 2009 marks the bicentennial of the birth of Charles Darwin and the 150th anniversary of the publication of his master work,“The Origin of the Species.” In universities and museums across the United Kingdom, events and exhibitions have been convened to celebrate this anniversary. Indeed, it has been possible to see everything from an academic wearing a false beard and a stovepipe hat doing a passable imitation of Charles Darwin while giving a slide show presentation on his visit to the Galapagos Islands (University Museum Oxford, February 2009) to exhibits that offer an insight into this remarkable man, such as the page of the final draft manuscript of “The Origin” containing some decipherable pencil arithmetic—the homework of his grandchildren undertaken on what was for the family a piece of scrap paper!(Talbot Rice Gallery, Edinburgh, Fall 2009) Here in Edinburgh, we claim Darwin as one of our own. This is because he spent the first 2 years of his higher education studying medicine in Edinburgh. 1 In common with other students of that age, Darwin did not choose his subject of study himself; the decision was made for him. Medicine ran in Darwin’s family; his father was a successful physician and his grandfather Erasmus Darwin, a notable physician in the cathedral city of Lichfield, 2 had also been a key figure in the English enlightenment that was centered in the Midlands and Potteries in the preceding century. But Charles Darwin was not destined to become a doctor and indeed did not enjoy his medical studies. He was apparently averse to surgery (pre-anesthesia, of course) and found the didactic lectures tedious.(I might add, for any parents of prospective medical students, that our curriculum has changed significantly since 1826, and our reputation for taught components is excellent!). As a result, Darwin filled his time collecting insects and observing natural history and marine life. Ultimately he dropped out of medicine, and, under the guidance of his father, enrolled as an undergraduate in Cambridge University to study to become a clergyman.... and the rest, as they say, is history.
