Our artists and scientists in extreme enviroments topic will continue for a
few more
days but on October 15 we would like to move the discussion on to the arts
and
culture within the context of the Darwinian Theory of evolution today.
This is the topic of a three days conference in marseille October 22/23/24
full program is at:
The topic of extreme environments is of course tightly coupled to evolution=
as organisms find themselves
in new environments, the variouse evolutionary mechanisms ( individual and
group selection, sexual selection etc)
come into play an in an extreme enviromnent, the web of life evolves to
'adapt" to the new situation.
Some of the greatest extreme environments we know of in earth history are
the meteor collisions
that created extreme conditions that led to massive extinctions of many
species and new species
were favoured.
We are interested in undertanding the place of the arts and culture in these
processes.
By the way if you cannot come to the symposium we have set up a number of
blogs for the topic:
