Charles Darwin
Charles Darwin published his theory of evolution by natural selection in 1859 in his book On the Origin of Species. His theory proposed that all species of life have descended over time from common ancestors through a process he called natural selection, in which organisms better adapted to their environment tend to survive and pass on their traits. While his theory was initially controversial, it became widely accepted by the scientific community by the 1870s and established evolutionary descent as the dominant explanation for the diversity of life. Darwin conducted extensive research over many years to gather evidence in support of his theory, including observations from his famous voyage on the HMS Beagle from 1831-1836.

Charles Darwin was a British naturalist who established the theory of evolution by natural selection. He observed that species have descended over time from common ancestors and developed his theory during a five-year voyage around the world. His 1859 book On the Origin of Species explained how natural selection leads to evolution, but it faced opposition from the church and some scientists. While controversial initially, Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection is now widely accepted in the scientific community based on significant evidence.

Romantic Radicals and Agrarian Futurists: John Hargrave, the Kibbo Kift and B...
Anne Fernie gave this talk for the Ragged University on 11th February 2016 in Manchester:
This talk is in effect a ‘companion piece’ to the ‘Countercultural Imperative’ talk presented in April 2015. The focus is now upon movements and individuals in England during the period 1880-1935. We noted before how German ‘life reformers’ spread their influence directly to the counterculturalists in the USA during the 40s and later 1960s and how many of their ideas (e.g. vegetarianism, spa baths, outdoor pursuits) became mainstream even during their lifetimes. The English experience forms an interesting contrast in that the English as a whole proved less tractable than their German cousins in adopting ‘ruralist’ ideas that were viewed overall as ‘crankish’ and ‘faddist’.
The close relationship that many of the English pioneers had with their German counterparts also inevitably led to suspicion in the years following WW1 and especially in the late 1920s and 30s casting a further pall of ‘Eco-Fascist’ ignominy over the cult of health, wellbeing and folk revival ‘Blood and Soil’ movements. We will review some early manifestations of the cult of the outdoor/alternative lifestylers such as the early carvanners, the fetishisation of Native North American culture, the Garden City movement then examine a selection of the more outstanding ‘cranks’ and ‘faddists’ such as John Hargrave, Rolf Gardiner, Ernest Westlake, Archie Belaney and Ernest Seton who are now largely and unfairly forgotten.
The Woodcraft and ensuing Kibbo Kift groups will be discussed in more detail, the latter being an wonderful example of a very English response to the cult of the outdoor and how it too was drawn into the spirit of the age, transforming itself by 1935 into The Green Shirt Movement for Social Credit, the largest unformed paramilitary street-army of 1930s Britain. They hated the Fascist Black Shirts and ‘fat cat’ financial institutions espoused a ‘Third Way’ beyond Capitalism and Marxism – ideas very prescient to the contemporary social and political discourse.
As with the German experience one concludes that whilst the hegemonies of the age are now ancient history, it is the outsiders and counter-culturist’s ideas that have endured and become mainstream. The fun is discovering where these apparently ‘age old’ ideas actually originated – often from the most surprising and unexpected sources.

Charles robert darwin
Charles Darwin (1809-1882) was a British naturalist known for his theory of evolution by natural selection, which he published in his 1859 book On the Origin of Species. He was born in Shrewsbury, England and studied medicine at the University of Edinburgh before joining the voyage of the HMS Beagle from 1831 to 1836, during which he began developing his theories. Darwin married his cousin Emma and had 10 children. He provided compelling evidence that all species evolved over time from common ancestors through a process he called natural selection.

- 4. Pink Floyd
- 5. Pink Floyd were an English rock band who earned recognition for their psychedelic music in the late 1960s, and as they evolved in the 1970s, for their progressive rock music. Pink Floyd's work is marked by the use of philosophical lyrics, sonic experimentation, innovative album cover art, and elaborate live shows. One of rock music's most critically acclaimed and commercially successful acts, the group have sold over 200 million albums worldwide, including 74.5 million certified units in the United States, making them one of the best-selling music artists of all time.
- 7. Margaret Hilda Thatcher (born 13 October 1925) served as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1979 to 1990 and Leader of the Conservative Party from 1975 to 1990. She is the only woman to have held either post.[2] Born in Grantham in Lincolnshire, United Kingdom, she read chemistry at Somerville College, Oxford and later trained as a barrister. She won a seat in the 1959 general election, becoming the MP for Finchley as a Conservative. When Edward Heath formed a government in 1970, he appointed Thatcher Secretary of State for Education and Science. Four years later, she backed Keith Joseph in his bid to become Conservative Party leader but he was forced to drop out of the election. In 1975 Thatcher entered the contest herself and became leader of the Conservative Party. At the 1979 general election she became Britain's first female Prime Minister.
- 9. Charles Robert Darwin FRS (12 February 1809 – 19 April 1882) was an English naturalist who showed that all species of life have descended over time from common ancestors, and proposed the scientific theory that this branching pattern of evolution resulted from a process that he called natural selection. He published his theory with compelling evidence for evolution in his 1859 book On the Origin of Species. The scientific community and much of the general public came to accept evolution as a fact in his lifetime, but it was not until the emergence of the modern evolutionary synthesis from the 1930s to the 1950s that a broad consensus developed that natural selection was the basic mechanism of evolution. In modified form, Darwin's scientific discovery is the unifying theory of the life sciences, explaining the diversity of life.
- 10. Charlotte Brontë Charlotte Brontë (21 April 1816 – 31 March 1855) was an English novelist, the eldest of the three Brontë sisters whose novels are English literature standards. Under the pen name Currer Bell, she wrote Jane Eyre.
