We celebrate Darwin Day (12th February) with a post by Matteo Mameli (King’s College London) on his new monograph, Why Human Nature Matters: Between Biology and Politics (Bloomsbury 2024). In the book, Mameli discusses Darwin’s views on mental faculties, human differences, and the transformative agency of organisms.
An interesting point is that February 12th is remembered as Darwin Day even though it was also Abraham Lincoln's birthday. Says something about human nature, don't you think?
