[...] There is a growing science that says the human species evolved certain psychological traits. As a quote on my previous post on Darwin Day stated, our understanding of evolution is creeping into all kinds of areas. It is changing the way we understand medicine. And it is changing the way we understanding human psychology and human nature. While Evolutionary Psychology is still young in the field of science and has much work yet to do in substantiating its claims, it contributes a third implication to Dan’s list of only two; an implication to which I currently subscribe.

Why you evil, pernicious, dastardly, secular/humanist post-modernist, vorpal, frumious (I’m speaking in tongues now from Lewis Carrol’s “Jabberwocky”)misleader of youth!

How could we possibly have evolved from MONKEYS??? DUH!? Like the monkeys are still here, ya know??

{Believe it or not I actually saw that monkey-thought, so to speak, on a blog. Scary…}

Thanks for the feedback, Olga. I corrected that error in the title of the book.

As for the list of foods and treats: I did mention the food and treats briefly in the original post, but there was also a separate post where I listed it in detail.

To keep the article brief I decided to keep them separate. Really, there are three parts, or three articles to this discussion. There is this original post to this one, there is the post that gives a complete review of Ellen Jackson’s book, and there is the post that details the AgnosticMom tradition for the week of Darwin and the food. They will be three separate articles in ClubMom.

I also plan to repost these three updated versions again on this blog as we get closer to Darwin Day in February.

Noell, - I remember reading the original article when I first discovered your blog (a link posted on my church’s web site: http://www.apatheticagnostic.com)! That’s when I added the Ellen Jackson’s book to the wish list of my son’s future library (he is almost 2 now.) I remember, in the article, there were more details what food was served each day and what surprise treats the kids received. I think I’d want to see some of those details in the current version as well, depending on the article’s word limit.

I would also correct the name of the Darwin’s book. The (shorter) title is “On the Origin of Species” or “The Origin of Species” (Origin, no “the” before Species.) I am only mentioning it since the article is to be published on ClubMom, and we want to show the readers that we agnostics know our books.

That is a really cool idea - the celebration at home with the kids. Great way to teach them more about science while making it fun!
