Aside from Darwin, the famed biologist is also an admirer of Carl Sagan, Alfred Russell Wallace, and Shakespeare.
Question: Who are your heroes?
Richard Dawkins: Darwin obviously. Wallace, who's the unsung hero who independently thought of the idea. Many great scientists of the past. Peter Medawar -- I admire his writing style very much. Carl Sagan. Yes, many -- I mean, I admire great poets as well. I'm not sure that I'd call them exactly heroes. I mean, Shakespeare affects me when I read his extraordinary command of language; I admire it hugely. Yeah I suppose he is -- so he is a hero, yes, whoever he was.
Recorded on: October 21, 2009. Interviewed by Paul Hoffman.

Sir. PETER BRIAN MEDAWAR
★28/02/1915 ✝02/10/1987
O biólogo Peter Brian Medawar é a única pessoa nascida no Brasil que recebeu um Prêmio Nobel, o de Medicina, em 1960, juntamente com o físico e virólogo australiano Frank Burnet, por estabelecer as bases sistema imunológico, descoberta que ajudou no combate aos efeitos de rejeição em transplante de órgãos.
Nascido em Petrópolis (RJ), e naturalizado britânico, um dos ganhadores do Prêmio Nobel de Medicina ou Fisiologia (1960) e cavaleiro (1965). Filho de mãe britânica e de um comerciante libanês com cidadania britânica, estudou no Marlborough College (1928-1932) e a seguir, no Magdalen College, Oxford, onde se bacharelou em zoologia, orientado pelo professor J. Z. Young. Trabalhou no Sir Howard Florey's School of Pathology, em Oxford, onde se inclinou por pesquisas em biologia para a medicina. Foi nomeado (1935) Christopher Welch Scholar e Senior Demonstrator do Magdalen College. Casou-se (1937) com Jean Shinglewood Taylor, filha de um médico de Cambridge, e o casal teve dois casais de filhos: Charles, Alexander, Caroline e Louise. Fellow do Magdalen College (1938), Oxford, tornou-se Rolleston Prizeman (1942) e Senior Research Fellow e University Demonstrator em zoologia e anatomia comparativa (1944) do St John's College, Oxford. Depois da guerra mudou-se para Birmingham (1947) onde foi Mason Professor of Zoology da universidade local (1947-1951), período em que passou a desenvolver pesquisas em imunologia pós-transplantes. Mudou-se para Londres (1951) para ser Jodrell Professor of Zoology da University College, deixando a universidade (1962) para dirigir o National Institute for Medical Research, London (1962-1971). Também foi professor de medicina experimental da Royal Institution (1977-1983) e presidiu a Royal Postgraduate Medical School (1981-1987). Dividiu o Nobel com o australiano Sir Frank MacFarlane Burnet do Walter and Eliza Hall Institute for Medical Research, Melbourne, pelas descobertas em tolerância imunológica adquirida. Membro de várias academias científicas americanas e européias, foi Croonian Lecturer (1958) da Royal Society of London, e premiado com a Royal Medal (1959) e o Reith Lecturer da British Broadcasting Corporation (1959) e morreu em Londres. Também foi um prolífico escritor, inclundo publicações como The Uniqueness of the Individual (1957), The Future of Man (1960), The Art of the Soluble (1967), The Hope of Progress (1972), Life Science (1977), Advice to a Young Scientist (1979), Pluto's Republic (1982) e uma autobiografia: Memoir of a Thinking Radish (1986).

منذ حوالي 50 سنة مضت، عقد مؤتمر هام في معهد ويستار بفيلادلفيا، وكانت مادته الأساسية "التحديات الرياضياتية لتفسير الداروينية الحديثة للتطور".
كان لهذا المؤتمر تأثير بارز على فهم كيف تنظر الرياضيات للداروينية الحديثة. وأثبت بما لا يدع مجالا للشك، أن الفهم المادي للعمليات الأحيائية قاصر جدا عن أن ينجح في تفسير الكائنات الحية من أي زاوية من الزوايا العلمية.
وكان مما ذكر في هذا المؤتمر، تعليق السير بيتر مِدور Peter Medawar (الحاصل على نوبل في الطب ورئيس المؤتمر): "هناك اعتراضات من الزملاء الذين يشعرون أن هناك "شيء ناقص" في النظرية الحالية.. تلك الاعتراضات على النظرية الداروينية-الحديثة الحالية منتشرة جدا بين البيولوجيين بشكل عام، وأظن أنه لا يجب علينا –بأي شكل- أن نستخف بهم. ولعل حقيقة أننا عقدنا هذا اللقاء يعد دليل على أننا لا نستخف بهم".
أيضا ماري إيدن Murray Eden أستاذ الهندسة بمعهد ماساتشوستس، علق في ورقته (القصور كنظرية علمية Inadequacies as a Scientific Theory) على قضية الطفرات العشوائية قائلا: " لا توجد لغة رسمية حاليا يمكنها التسامح في التغييرات العشوائية في تتابع رموزها التي تعبر عن جملها، فالمعنى غالبا ما سيتدمر تماما. يجب أن تكون التغييرات مقبولة نحويا. أظن أن ما يمكن تسميته (القواعد النحوية للجينات) لديها تفسير حتمي، ولا تدين لاستقرارها بالضغط الانتخابي العامل بالتغييرات العشوائية".
وكذلك عالم الرياضيات الشهير ستانيسواف أولام Stanislaw Ulam قال في ورقته (كيف تصيغ المشاكل الرياضياتية لمعدل التطور): "يبدوا أنه يلزم وجود الآلاف، بل وربما الملايين، من الطفرات الناجحة كي تنتج أسهل تعقيد نراه في الحياة اليوم".
وكذلك غيرهم الكثير من الأكاديميين المتخصصين في الرياضيات والهندسة والفيزياء، لم يستطع أحد منهم أن يجد مخرجا للتفسير الدارويني الحديث لظهور الكائنات الحية بالعمليات العشوائية. الأمر الذي يتوقع له د. بول نيلسون (فيلسوف الأحياء) في هذه المادة القصيرة أن يستمر ويمتد إلى نوفمبر القادم حيث سيعقد مؤتمرا جديدا في الجمعية الملكية في لندن لمناقشة البيولوجيا التطورية. وطالما سيستمر العلماء في النظر داخل الإطار المادي فقط، وطالما سيستمر الإصرار على استبعاد الذكاء والغائية من الأدوات التفسيرية، فلن يوجد حل.

Half a century ago, Nobel Prize winning biologist Sir Peter Medawar made a startling comment. He declared that the survival of a child in a mother's womb contradicted immunological laws. Since the immune system normally detects foreign tissue and attacks it you'd expect the immune system to attack the genetically distinct child within her.
Well, we now know that it actually does but the baby survives by putting up a very specific defense. Researchers at the medical college of Georgia discovered that mammalian embryos produce a special enzyme that suppresses the mother's killer T-cell action. The human embryo starts to produce this enzyme just before it attaches to the mother's uterus.
This refutes a major argument used to support abortion that the embryo is just a part of the mother's body to do with as she pleases. The research clearly shows that the human embryo is distinct from its mother, from the beginning.

Sir Peter Brian Medawar, OM CBE FRS (28 February 1915 – 2 October 1987) was a Brazilian/British biologist, whose work on graft rejection and the discovery of acquired immune tolerance was fundamental to the practice of tissue and organ transplants. He was awarded the 1960 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine with Sir Frank Macfarlane Burnet.
Until he was partially disabled by a cerebral infarction, Medawar was Director of the National Institute for Medical Research at Mill Hill.
Medawar was born on 28 February 1915, in Petrópolis, Brazil (a town 40 miles north of Rio de Janeiro) of a Brazilian mother and a Lebanese father. Medawar left Brazil for England in 1928, and lived there for the rest of his life.
Medawar was educated at Marlborough College and Magdalen College, Oxford, where he eventually became a Fellow.
Medawar was professor of zoology at the University of Birmingham (1947–51) and University College London (1951–62). In 1962 he was appointed director of the National Institute for Medical Research, and became professor of experimental medicine at the Royal Institution (1977–83), and president of the Royal Postgraduate Medical School (1981–87). Medawar was a scientist of great inventiveness who was interested in many other subjects including opera, philosophy and cricket.

Clinton Richard Dawkins, FRS, FRSL (born 26 March 1941), known as Richard Dawkins, is a British ethologist, evolutionary biologist and author. He is an emeritus fellow of New College, Oxford, and was the University of Oxford's Professor for Public Understanding of Science from 1995 until 2008.
Dawkins came to prominence with his 1976 book The Selfish Gene, which popularised the gene-centered view of evolution and introduced the term meme. In 1982 he introduced an influential concept into evolutionary biology, presented in his book The Extended Phenotype, that the phenotypic effects of a gene are not necessarily limited to an organism's body, but can stretch far into the environment, including the bodies of other organisms.
Dawkins is an atheist, a vice president of the British Humanist Association, and a supporter of the Brights movement. He is well known for his criticism of creationism and intelligent design. In his 1986 book The Blind Watchmaker, he argued against the watchmaker analogy, an argument for the existence of a supernatural creator based upon the complexity of living organisms. Instead, he described evolutionary processes as analogous to a blind watchmaker. He has since written several popular science books, and makes regular television and radio appearances, predominantly discussing these topics. In his 2006 book The God Delusion, Dawkins contends that a supernatural creator almost certainly does not exist and that religious faith is a delusion—"a fixed false belief." As of January 2010 the English-language version has sold more than two million copies and had been translated into 31 languages.

Elizabeth Simpson discusses Peter Medawar's research on tissue transplantation immunity
2015 sees the 350th anniversary of the journal Philosophical Transactions, making it the world’s oldest scientific journal. As part of the celebrations to mark this anniversary, The Royal Society has published special issues of Philosophical Transactions A (physical sciences papers) and Philosophical Transactions B (life sciences papers), looking back at pioneering papers from the archive, with commentaries by leading scientists, historians and science writers. Here we talk to one of the authors, Elizabeth Simpson, about her discussion of Peter Medawar’s 1956 paper "Quantitative studies on tissue transplantation immunity. III. Actively acquired tolerance".

التحديات الرياضياتية لتفسير الداروينية الحديثة للتطور
منذ حوالي 50 سنة مضت، عقد مؤتمر هام في معهد ويستار بفيلادلفيا، وكانت مادته الأساسية "التحديات الرياضياتية لتفسير الداروينية الحديثة للتطور". كان لهذا المؤتمر تأثير بارز على فهم كيف تنظر الرياضيات للداروينية الحديثة. وأثبت بما لا يدع مجالا للشك، أن الفهم المادي للعمليات الأحيائية قاصر جدا عن أن ينجح في تفسير الكائنات الحية من أي زاوية من الزوايا العلمية. وكان مما ذكر في هذا المؤتمر، تعليق السير بيتر مِدور Peter Medawar (الحاصل على نوبل في الطب ورئيس المؤتمر): "هناك اعتراضات من الزملاء الذين يشعرون أن هناك "شيء ناقص" في النظرية الحالية.. تلك الاعتراضات على النظرية الداروينية-الحديثة الحالية منتشرة جدا بين البيولوجيين بشكل عام، وأظن أنه لا يجب علينا –بأي شكل- أن نستخف بهم. ولعل حقيقة أننا عقدنا هذا اللقاء يعد دليل على أننا لا نستخف بهم". أيضا ماري إيدن Murray Eden أستاذ الهندسة بمعهد ماسا... -

Sir. PETER BRIAN MEDAWAR
★28/02/1915 ✝02/10/1987
O biólogo Peter Brian Medawar é a única pessoa nascida no Brasil que recebeu um Prêmio Nobel, o de Medicina, em 1960, juntamente com o físico e virólogo australiano Frank Burnet, por estabelecer as bases sistema imunológico, descoberta que ajudou no combate aos efeitos de rejeição em transplante de órgãos.
Nascido em Petrópolis (RJ), e naturalizado britânico, um dos ganhadores do Prêmio Nobel de Medicina ou Fisiologia (1960) e cavaleiro (1965). Filho de mãe britânica e de um comerciante libanês com cidadania britânica, estudou no Marlborough College (1928-1932) e a seguir, no Magdalen College, Oxford, onde se bacharelou em zoologia, orientado pelo professor J. Z. Young. Trabalhou no Sir Howard Florey's School of Pathology, em Oxford, onde se inclinou por pesquisas em biologia para a medicina. Foi nomeado (1935) Christopher Welch Scholar e Senior Demonstrator do Magdalen College. Casou-se (1937) com Jean Shinglewood Taylor, filha de um médico de Cambridge, e o casal teve dois casais de filhos: Charles, Alexander, Caroline e Louise. Fellow do Magdalen College (1938), Oxford, tornou-se Rolleston Prizeman (1942) e Senior Research Fellow e University Demonstrator em zoologia e anatomia comparativa (1944) do St John's College, Oxford. Depois da guerra mudou-se para Birmingham (1947) onde foi Mason Professor of Zoology da universidade local (1947-1951), período em que passou a desenvolver pesquisas em imunologia pós-transplantes. Mudou-se para Londres (1951) para ser Jodrell Professor of Zoology da University College, deixando a universidade (1962) para dirigir o National Institute for Medical Research, London (1962-1971). Também foi professor de medicina experimental da Royal Institution (1977-1983) e presidiu a Royal Postgraduate Medical School (1981-1987). Dividiu o Nobel com o australiano Sir Frank MacFarlane Burnet do Walter and Eliza Hall Institute for Medical Research, Melbourne, pelas descobertas em tolerância imunológica adquirida. Membro de várias academias científicas americanas e européias, foi Croonian Lecturer (1958) da Royal Society of London, e premiado com a Royal Medal (1959) e o Reith Lecturer da British Broadcasting Corporation (1959) e morreu em Londres. Também foi um prolífico escritor, inclundo publicações como The Uniqueness of the Individual (1957), The Future of Man (1960), The Art of the Soluble (1967), The Hope of Progress (1972), Life Science (1977), Advice to a Young Scientist (1979), Pluto's Republic (1982) e uma autobiografia: Memoir of a Thinking Radish (1986).

منذ حوالي 50 سنة مضت، عقد مؤتمر هام في معهد ويستار بفيلادلفيا، وكانت مادته الأساسية "التحديات الرياضياتية لتفسير الداروينية الحديثة للتطور".
كان لهذا المؤتمر تأثير بارز على فهم كيف تنظر الرياضيات للداروينية الحديثة. وأثبت بما لا يدع مجالا للشك، أن الفهم المادي للعمليات الأحيائية قاصر جدا عن أن ينجح في تفسير الكائنات الحية من أي زاوية من الزوايا العلمية.
وكان مما ذكر في هذا المؤتمر، تعليق السير بيتر مِدور Peter Medawar (الحاصل على نوبل في الطب ورئيس المؤتمر): "هناك اعتراضات من الزملاء الذين يشعرون أن هناك "شيء ناقص" في النظرية الحالية.. تلك الاعتراضات على النظرية الداروينية-الحديثة الحالية منتشرة جدا بين البيولوجيين بشكل عام، وأظن أنه لا يجب علينا –بأي شكل- أن نستخف بهم. ولعل حقيقة أننا عقدنا هذا اللقاء يعد دليل على أننا لا نستخف بهم".
أيضا ماري إيدن Murray Eden أستاذ الهندسة بمعهد ماساتشوستس، علق في ورقته (القصور كنظرية علمية Inadequacies as a Scientific Theory) على قضية الطفرات العشوائية قائلا: " لا توجد لغة رسمية حاليا يمكنها التسامح في التغييرات العشوائية في تتابع رموزها التي تعبر عن جملها، فالمعنى غالبا ما سيتدمر تماما. يجب أن تكون التغييرات مقبولة نحويا. أظن أن ما يمكن تسميته (القواعد النحوية للجينات) لديها تفسير حتمي، ولا تدين لاستقرارها بالضغط الانتخابي العامل بالتغييرات العشوائية".
وكذلك عالم الرياضيات الشهير ستانيسواف أولام Stanislaw Ulam قال في ورقته (كيف تصيغ المشاكل الرياضياتية لمعدل التطور): "يبدوا أنه يلزم وجود الآلاف، بل وربما الملايين، من الطفرات الناجحة كي تنتج أسهل تعقيد نراه في الحياة اليوم".
وكذلك غيرهم الكثير من الأكاديميين المتخصصين في الرياضيات والهندسة والفيزياء، لم يستطع أحد منهم أن يجد مخرجا للتفسير الدارويني الحديث لظهور الكائنات الحية بالعمليات العشوائية. الأمر الذي يتوقع له د. بول نيلسون (فيلسوف الأحياء) في هذه المادة القصيرة أن يستمر ويمتد إلى نوفمبر القادم حيث سيعقد مؤتمرا جديدا في الجمعية الملكية في لندن لمناقشة البيولوجيا التطورية. وطالما سيستمر العلماء في النظر داخل الإطار المادي فقط، وطالما سيستمر الإصرار على استبعاد الذكاء والغائية من الأدوات التفسيرية، فلن يوجد حل.

Half a century ago, Nobel Prize winning biologist Sir Peter Medawar made a startling comment. He declared that the survival of a child in a mother's womb contradicted immunological laws. Since the immune system normally detects foreign tissue and attacks it you'd expect the immune system to attack the genetically distinct child within her.
Well, we now know that it actually does but the baby survives by putting up a very specific defense. Researchers at the medical college of Georgia discovered that mammalian embryos produce a special enzyme that suppresses the mother's killer T-cell action. The human embryo starts to produce this enzyme just before it attaches to the mother's uterus.
This refutes a major argument used to support abortion that the embryo is just a part of the mother's body to do with as she pleases. The research clearly shows that the human embryo is distinct from its mother, from the beginning.

wn.com/Human From The Start
Half a century ago, Nobel Prize winning biologist Sir Peter Medawar made a startling comment. He declared that the survival of a child in a mother's womb contradicted immunological laws. Since the immune system normally detects foreign tissue and attacks it you'd expect the immune system to attack the genetically distinct child within her.
Well, we now know that it actually does but the baby survives by putting up a very specific defense. Researchers at the medical college of Georgia discovered that mammalian embryos produce a special enzyme that suppresses the mother's killer T-cell action. The human embryo starts to produce this enzyme just before it attaches to the mother's uterus.
This refutes a major argument used to support abortion that the embryo is just a part of the mother's body to do with as she pleases. The research clearly shows that the human embryo is distinct from its mother, from the beginning.
