SUMMARY:Naturalist Book Club
DESCRIPTION:April’s Naturalist Book Club \nJoin us as we discuss Schilthuizen’s captivating book-\nDarwin Comes to Town: How the Urban Jungle Drives Evolution by  Menno Schilthuizen\n\nJoin us for a lively discussion of this fascinating book that looks at the impact of the urban environment on the evolution of species.   \n\n“For a long time\, biologists thought evolution was a necessarily slow process\, too incremental to be observed in a lifetime. In Darwin Comes to Town\, evolutionary biologist Menno Schilthuizen shows that evolution can in fact happen extremely quickly\, and in the strangest of places: the heart of the city.  \nMenno Schilthuizen is one of a growing number of “urban ecologists” studying how our manmade environments are accelerating the evolution of the animals and plants around us… Schilthuizen shares a stunning vision of urban evolution in which humans and wildlife co-exist in a unique harmony. It reveals that evolution can happen far more rapidly than Darwin dreamed\, while providing a glimmer of hope that our race toward overpopulation might not take the rest of nature down with us.” \nExcerpt from Goodreads.com \nDate: April 28th\, 2019 \nTime: 7pm-8pm \nLocation: China Camp Village Museum\, China Camp State Park \n  \nSpace is limited and reservations are required. \nTo reserve\, send email to: \nchinacamp.programs@gmail.com or call (415) 456-0766 \nInclude your name\, the number of seats you need\, and your phone #. \nWe will reply to confirm your reservation. \nCancellation announcements will be posted on the FOCC website homepage.
