Jean-Baptiste Lamarck (1744-1829)
It’s hard to believe that it has taken modern science 200 years to catch up to Lamarck. One of the common threads on Nautis Project has always been the incompleteness of a biological theory of evolution, morphology, and memory. It is these gaps in our knowledge that people like Lamarck, Darwin, Bergson, and Goethe tried [...]

2. July 2008
From Britian’s Daily Mail, “Cats who know exactly when they are going to be taken to the vets. Dogs who sense their owners’ whereabouts - even if they are miles away. And birds who seem to mourn the deaths of those around them… our pets and other animals have always been intuitive [...]

15. June 2008
I’ve been thinking about a conversation I had last summer. Some friends and I were discussing Richard Dawkin’s book, The God Delusion, with Rupert. As always, Rupert’s ideas are well thought out and always seem to come out of left field - at least to me. This got me thinking… There are people everywhere that [...]

From reuters.com, “It’s been well-documented that animals are better than we are at picking up little changes in the surrounding world. Watch your dog lose his marbles 30 minutes before a thunderstorm arrives and you’ll know exactly what I’m talking about.

29. April 2008
This year The Edge asked leading thinkers, “What have you changed your mind about? Why?” This is a great question. You should check out some of the answers. Here is Rupert Sheldrake’s answer to the question: I used to think of skepticism as a primary intellectual virtue, whose goal was truth. I have changed my mind. [...]

17. April 2008
Duncan Campbell’s podcast, Living Dialogues, features an interview with Rupert Sheldrake from June 2007. Here is a summary from the website: “As Rupert and I discuss in the this fascinating dialogue, his morphic field theory goes beyond the range of other invisible fields accepted by modern science, such as the field of gravity and electro-magnetic [...]

14. April 2008
There is an interesting article on Suppressed Science about the bizarre belief that science has just about gotten it all wrapped up. Many scientists believe that they are somehow on the verge of knowing everything. I know that sounds laughable but this is a real position taken by many within the scientific community. Here is [...]
