Charles Darwin / 查尔斯·达尔文
Charles Darwin appears in 68.疯狂实验史:哎!这该死的求知欲… through the episode’s earthworm experiments. The source highlights his tests of whether earthworms could see, distinguish color, hear music, or respond to vibration, including the comic image of playing music and bassoon for worms.
In the episode, Darwin’s earthworms are a counterweight to the more horrific medical and public-spectacle cases. The experiments look funny, but they still model Observation Before Inference: ask a precise question, vary stimuli, and separate hearing from vibration rather than infer from human intuition.
97.花粉症与人类:从尼安德特人(啊啾!)到空气净化器… adds a second, lighter Darwin connection through Charles Harrison Blackley / 查尔斯·哈里森·布莱克利. The hay-fever episode says Darwin noticed and encouraged Blackley’s pollen experiments, placing Darwin in the background of another evidence-discipline story where careful exposure tests made hay fever medically legible.
116.不服从的艺术:分享一些实战方法,还有力量 adds Darwin as a principled disobedience strategy case. The episode contrasts earlier evolution-adjacent dissenters who paid heavier costs with Darwin’s ability to build credibility before confrontation, write accessibly, choose timing, and rely on allies, making scientific dissent a problem of communication and social trust as well as evidence.
37.智商测试:请问你是智力婆罗门吗? adds Darwin as the boundary figure behind Francis Galton / 弗朗西斯·高尔顿’s hereditarian turn. The source says Darwin’s evolutionary theory deeply affected Galton, while also distinguishing Darwin’s caution from later social Darwinist uses of evolution to justify class, race, intelligence, and reproductive hierarchy.
EP256 AI时代,“自由意志”还存在吗? adds Darwin as the biological turn in the wiki’s free-will branch. 土摩托 uses evolutionary life science to move beyond a purely physical determinism frame, asking how living organisms develop agency, meaning, and body-grounded orientation toward action.
