Moje ned\u00e1vn\u00e1 dovolen\u00e1 m\u011b zavedla na neo\u010dek\u00e1vanou cestu \u017eivotem a odkazem Charlese Darwina. P\u0159esto\u017ee byl m\u00fdm p\u016fvodn\u00edm z\u00e1m\u011brem vyhnout se m\u00edst\u016fm spojen\u00fdm s Darwinem, jeho p\u0159\u00edtomnost jakoby prostupovala ka\u017ed\u00fdm z\u00e1kout\u00edm m\u00fdch cest.<\/p>\n\n
Prvn\u00ed zast\u00e1vkou byl Cambridge v Anglii, kde byl Darwin\u016fv vliv nepopirateln\u00fd. P\u0159i prohl\u00eddce presti\u017en\u00ed univerzity jsem se dozv\u011bd\u011bl o jeho spojen\u00ed se \u010dty\u0159mi slavn\u00fdmi v\u011bdci: Francisem Crickem, Jamesem Watsonem, Rosalind Franklinovou a j\u00edm samotn\u00fdm.<\/p>\n\n
Kdy\u017e jsem se odv\u00e1\u017eil do Sedgwickova muzea v\u011bd o Zemi, narazil jsem na Darwinovy fosiln\u00ed objevy z jeho expedice na lodi Beagle. Vrcholem muzea byla nov\u00e1 v\u00fdstava v\u011bnovan\u00e1 Darwinov\u00fdm geologick\u00fdm p\u0159\u00edsp\u011bvk\u016fm.<\/p>\n\n
Dokonce i v klidn\u00e9 Cambridgesk\u00e9 botanick\u00e9 zahrad\u011b p\u0159etrv\u00e1vala Darwinova p\u0159\u00edtomnost. Zahradu zalo\u017eil John Stevens Henslow, profesor, kter\u00fd v Darwinovi vzbudil v\u00e1\u0161e\u0148 pro p\u0159\u00edrodn\u00ed v\u011bdy.<\/p>\n\n
V Lond\u00fdn\u011b jsem zam\u00ed\u0159il do P\u0159\u00edrodov\u011bdn\u00e9ho muzea. P\u0159esto\u017ee jsem se ze v\u0161ech sil sna\u017eil vyhnout Darwinovu centru, nedok\u00e1zal jsem odolat v\u00e1ben\u00ed restaurovan\u00e9 sochy legend\u00e1rn\u00edho v\u011bdce v \u017eivotn\u00ed velikosti, kter\u00e1 je nyn\u00ed s hrdost\u00ed vystavena v Centr\u00e1ln\u00ed hale.<\/p>\n\n
Moje cesta vyvrcholila v Pa\u0159\u00ed\u017ei, kde m\u011b p\u0159ekvapila skute\u010dnost, \u017ee Darwinovo d\u011bdictv\u00ed \u017eije a da\u0159\u00ed se mu v Jardin des Plantes. Uprost\u0159ed expon\u00e1t\u016f o opylov\u00e1n\u00ed a koevoluci jsem narazil na jemn\u00e9 p\u0159ipom\u00ednky Darwinova hlubok\u00e9ho vlivu na na\u0161e ch\u00e1p\u00e1n\u00ed p\u0159\u00edrodn\u00edho sv\u011bta.<\/p>\n\n
B\u011bhem cel\u00e9 dovolen\u00e9 jsem si uv\u011bdomil, \u017ee Darwin\u016fv vliv dalece p\u0159es\u00e1hl v\u011bdeckou sf\u00e9ru. Jeho teorie a objevy formovaly na\u0161e ch\u00e1p\u00e1n\u00ed um\u011bn\u00ed a vizu\u00e1ln\u00ed kultury, jak dokazuje v\u00fdstava \u201eEndless Forms\u201c v Cambridgesk\u00e9m Fitzwilliamov\u011b muzeu.<\/p>\n\n
Stalo se z\u0159ejm\u00fdm, \u017ee rok 2009 byl skute\u010dn\u011b \u201eDarwin\u016fv rok\u201c. Jeho d\u011bdictv\u00ed nad\u00e1le rezonuje v ka\u017ed\u00e9m kout\u011b sv\u011bta a inspiruje jak v\u011bdeck\u00fd v\u00fdzkum, tak um\u011bleck\u00fd v\u00fdraz.<\/p>\n\n
Darwinovy geologick\u00e9 objevy sehr\u00e1ly z\u00e1sadn\u00ed roli p\u0159i formov\u00e1n\u00ed jeho evolu\u010dn\u00ed teorie. Jeho pe\u010dliv\u00e1 pozorov\u00e1n\u00ed geologick\u00fdch \u00fatvar\u016f a fosili\u00ed odhalila obrovsk\u00e9 st\u00e1\u0159\u00ed Zem\u011b a zpochybnila tehdej\u0161\u00ed p\u0159evl\u00e1daj\u00edc\u00ed p\u0159esv\u011bd\u010den\u00ed.<\/p>\n\n
Sedgwickovo muzeum v\u011bd o Zemi v Cambridge uchov\u00e1v\u00e1 sb\u00edrku Darwinov\u00fdch geologick\u00fdch vzork\u016f, v\u010detn\u011b fosili\u00ed, kter\u00e9 nasb\u00edral b\u011bhem sv\u00e9 cesty na lodi Beagle. Tyto fosilie poskytuj\u00ed hmatateln\u00e9 spojen\u00ed s jeho pr\u016fkopnickou prac\u00ed v oboru geologie.<\/p>\n\n

Na po\u010dest t\u011bchto miln\u00edk\u016f se po cel\u00e9m sv\u011bt\u011b konalo mnoho v\u00fdstav a akc\u00ed, kter\u00e9 p\u0159edvedly Darwin\u016fv trval\u00fd vliv na v\u011bdu, um\u011bn\u00ed a kulturu.<\/p>\n\n
Moje dovolen\u00e1 se stala ne\u010dekanou pout\u00ed \u017eivotem a odkazem Charlese Darwina. Od Cambridge p\u0159es Lond\u00fdn a\u017e do Pa\u0159\u00ed\u017ee byla jeho p\u0159\u00edtomnost nepopirateln\u00e1, sv\u011bdectv\u00ed o hlubok\u00e9m vlivu, kter\u00fd m\u011bl na na\u0161e ch\u00e1p\u00e1n\u00ed p\u0159\u00edrodn\u00edho sv\u011bta a na\u0161eho m\u00edsta v n\u011bm.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
