Darwin, Wallace and Huxley: The Three Great Pioneers of Evolutionary Theory
When Darwin reached his forties, he had clandestinely delved into the theory of evolution for over two decades. During this juncture, he received an epistle from the youthful scientist Wallace, which enclosed a handwritten scientific treatise aligning remarkably with Darwin’s theory of evolution. Wallace beseeched Darwin to assist in transmitting his valuable perspectives to Sir Lyyle, should Darwin deem them worthy. Presenting a predicament to Darwin, he found himself torn between preserving Wallace’s trust and relinquishing years of meticulous research to him. After profound contemplation, Darwin dispatched Wallace’s manuscript to Ryle, accompanied by a laudatory missive endorsing Wallace’s viewpoints, and implored Ryle to aid in the publication of Hua Lei’s…

The Disappearing Pyramid Guide – A Mysterious Journey in Mexico
Many friends have watched that video, and I am not lying. In the video, the collapsed pyramid lies in ruins at Chichen Itza. Apart from the pyramid, apart from the vague path leading to the top of the pyramid, and the wild vegetation among the stones and mounds of earth, there is only commentary implanted like a voice-over. The man spoke English at the time, and he said he would come several times every year to bring friends with him to take a look. I asked him: “What is a destined person?” He said: “For example, you.” There were two sentences in the video that were said very suddenly and…

Rachel Carson: The Gentle Warrior Who Awakened the Modern Environmental Movement
With a tranquil demeanor, Rachel Carson does not appear to be a trailblazer who dares to revolutionize the world, yet she employs scientific concepts “fortified” by literature to rouse the world’s perception of nature, devoid of any hint of modesty or condescension. Carson was born in the petite town of Spring Creek, Pennsylvania. Her mother’s melodic aptitude and reverence served as the spiritual nourishment she assimilated from an early age.

Simultaneously, her affection for reading and writing, coupled with her acute intellect, rendered her almost destined to become an “ecological writer.” In 1932, Carson…

My New Life: Unpacking, Painting, and Growing
I embarked on solitary living. My abode occupies the fifth level, where my minuscule existence remains concealed. The climate is delightful, for it is the balmy season of spring. Its zephyr emerges through crevices, and the illumination is exceedingly faint, gently alighting upon the beige drapes. This fabric, adorning the curtains, was initially preserved by my grandmother. Similar to me, she possesses an affinity for accumulating trifles. Gradually, an abundance of possessions amasses, inundating the entire cabinet with seemingly “useless” items. Nonetheless, we perpetually assert: “They shall prove useful when the need arises!” Indeed, my rental abode is devoid of any belongings; everything is immaculately white, while the verdant grass…

I cannot fathom why, but during that period, I resembled a dauntless unicorn with exceedingly limited aptitude. Despite the hardships each day presented, I remained sanguine, engaging in a clandestine competition with myself, firmly convinced that I was the most formidable warrior. As I matured, a clearer understanding…
