“He who does not travel does not know the value of men.”
Moorish proverb
author bio
Danny Vendramini was born in Alice
Springs, in the Australian outback. He had
successful careers in a number of fields - as a theatre director, TV
producer and award-winning film director and scriptwriter - before
turning to evolutionary biology. As an atheist and Darwinian scholar, Vendramini's work is anchored in evidence based research and deduction, but ultimately it is his artistic imagination and scientific creativity that distinguishes his evolutionary theories.
"You need two kinds of scientists. People who are into experimentation, detailed observation and analysis. They're unquestionably the backbone of scientific progress. But you also need a few left-field people who can look at the big picture and envisage new paradigms and possibilities."
He is a member of the Independent Scholars Association of Australia Inc, lives in Sydney, and is married to the writer Rosie Scott.

the evolution of behaviour
Check out Danny Vendramini's 2005 paper on Teem theory. In it he argues that the evolution of innate behaviour, emotions and instincts in multicellular animals is regulated, not by natural selection, but by a second evolutionary process encrypted in non-protein-coding DNA.

the second evolution: the final piece of the darwinian puzzle
In Danny Vendramini's forthcoming book, The Second Evolution, he outlines his radical new theory of behavioural evolution - teem theory. It argues that evolution on earth is regulated not by a single evolutionary process (natural selection), but by two. He suggest that a second evolutionary process (which he calls 'teemosis') allows multicellular animals (including humans) to acquire instincts, innate behaviours and emotions directly from their environment. These acquired behaviours in turn drive physical evolution.

a pictorial biography of charles darwin
This site is intended as a resource for Darwinian scholars and
students. For the first time, it attempts to gather in a single
database, every photo, painting and drawing ever made of Darwin. The
site quotes extensively from a short autobiography Darwin wrote in
1876, ostensibly for his children, but obviously written with an eye to
posterity.
