Each time your liver filters alcohol, some of the liver cells die. The liver can develop new cells, but prolonged alcohol misuse (drinking too much) over many years can reduce your liverâs ability to regenerate.
HMS Beagle in the Straits of Magellan, Illustration from Darwinâs The Voyage of the Beagle. #4 Charles Darwin independently conceived the theory of natural selection in 1838. Exposed to life all over the globe during the voyage, Darwin noticed similarities among species with variations based on specific locations.
The Beagle library was dispersed when the voyage ended in October 1836. It has now, 178 years later, been electronically re-constructed as part of Darwin Online.
