00:12
Well, this is 2009.
0
12160
5000
Godina je 2009.
00:17
And it's the Bicentenary of Charles Darwin.
1
17160
5000
I dvjestota je godišnjica rođenja Charlesa Darwina.
00:22
And all over the world, eminent evolutionists
2
22160
3000
I po cijelom svijetu, poznati evolucionisti
00:25
are anxious to celebrate this.
3
25160
2000
je uzbuđeno obilježavaju.
00:27
And what they're planning to do is to enlighten us
4
27160
4000
I namjeravaju osvijetliti
00:31
on almost every aspect
5
31160
2000
gotovo svaki aspekt
00:33
of Darwin and his life,
6
33160
2000
Darwina i njegovog života
00:35
and how he changed our thinking.
7
35160
2000
i kako je promijenio način na koji razmišljamo.
00:37
I say almost every aspect,
8
37160
3000
Kažem gotovo svaki aspekt,
00:40
because there is one aspect of this story
9
40160
3000
jer postoji jedan aspekt ove priče
00:43
which they have thrown no light on.
10
43160
3000
koji nisu osvijetlili.
00:46
And they seem anxious to skirt around it and step over it
11
46160
3000
I čini se da ga stalno preskaču i obilaze
00:49
and to talk about something else.
12
49160
2000
kako bi pričali o nečem drugom.
00:51
So I'm going to talk about it.
13
51160
2000
Zato ću ja pričati o tome.
00:53
It's the question of, why are we so different from the chimpanzees?
14
53160
6000
Pitanje je, zašto smo toliko drukčiji od čimpanzi?
00:59
We get the geneticists keeping on telling us
15
59160
2000
Genetičari nam stalno govore
01:01
how extremely closely we are related -- hardly any genes of difference,
16
61160
4000
kako smo izuzetno bliski, skoro bez razlike u genima,
01:05
very, very closely related.
17
65160
3000
vrlo vrlo blisko srodni.
01:08
And yet, when you look at the phenotypes,
18
68160
3000
Opet, kada se pogledaju fenotipovi
01:11
there's a chimp, there's a man;
19
71160
2000
imamo čimpanzu, imamo čovjeka,
01:13
they're astoundingly different,
20
73160
2000
zapanjujuče su različiti,
01:15
no resemblance at all.
21
75160
2000
bez ikakvih sličnosti.
01:17
I'm not talking about airy-fairy stuff
22
77160
2000
Ne govorim o nevidljivim stvarima
01:19
about culture or psychology, or behavior.
23
79160
4000
o kulturi, psihologiji ili ponašanju.
01:23
I'm talking about ground-base, nitty-gritty,
24
83160
3000
Govorim o temeljnim, suštinskim,
01:26
measurable physical differences.
25
86160
2000
mjerljivim fizičkim razlikama.
01:28
They, that one,
26
88160
2000
Onaj je dlakav
01:30
is hairy and walking on four legs.
27
90160
2000
i hoda na četiri noge.
01:32
That one is a naked biped. Why?
28
92160
4000
Ovaj je goli dvonožac. Zašto?
01:36
I mean --
29
96160
2000
Mislim --
01:38
(Laughter)
30
98160
1000
(Smijeh)
01:39
if I'm a good Darwinist, I've got to believe
31
99160
2000
Ako sam dobar darvinist, moram vjerovati
01:41
there's a reason for that.
32
101160
2000
da za to postoji razlog.
01:43
If we changed so much, something must have happened.
33
103160
3000
Ako smo se toliko promijenili, nešto se moralo dogoditi.
01:46
What happened?
34
106160
2000
Šta se dogodilo?
01:48
Now 50 years ago, that was a laughably simple question.
35
108160
3000
Prije 50 godina, to je bilo smiješno jednostavno pitanje.
01:51
Everybody knew the answer.
36
111160
2000
Svi su znali odgovor.
01:53
They knew what happened.
37
113160
2000
Znali su što se dogodilo.
01:55
The ancestor of the apes stayed in the trees;
38
115160
2000
Preci majmuna ostali su u drveću.
01:57
our ancestors went out onto the plain.
39
117160
3000
Naši preci prešli su na ravnicu.
02:00
That explained everything.
40
120160
3000
To je sve objašnjavalo.
02:03
We had to get up on our legs to peer over the tall grass,
41
123160
3000
Morali smo se dići na noge da bi vidjeli preko visoke trave,
02:06
or to chase after animals,
42
126160
2000
ili da bi hvatali životinje,
02:08
or to free our hands for weapons.
43
128160
2000
ili da bi oslobodili ruke za oružje.
02:10
And we got so overheated in the chase
44
130160
4000
I toliko bi se pregrijavali loveći
02:14
that we had to take off that fur coat and throw it away.
45
134160
4000
da smo morali odbaciti svoje krzno.
02:18
Everybody knew that, for generations.
46
138160
3000
To su svi znali, generacijama.
02:21
But then, in the '90s, something began to unravel.
47
141160
4000
Ali onda, devedesetih, nešto se počelo otkrivati.
02:25
The paleontologists themselves looked a bit more closely
48
145160
4000
Paleontolozi su malo pomnije pregledali
02:29
at the accompanying microfauna
49
149160
4000
popratnu mikrofaunu
02:33
that lived in the same time and place as the hominids.
50
153160
4000
koja je živjela u isto vrijeme i na istom mjestu kao i hominidi.
02:37
And they weren't savanna species.
51
157160
3000
I to nisu bila bića savane.
02:40
And they looked at the herbivores. And they weren't savanna herbivores.
52
160160
4000
I pregledali su biljojede. I to nisu bili biljojedi savane.
02:44
And then they were so clever, they found a way to analyze
53
164160
3000
I bili su toliko pametni, da su našli način analiziranja
02:47
fossilized pollen.
54
167160
2000
fosilizovanog polena.
02:49
Shock, horror.
55
169160
2000
Šok, nevjerica.
02:51
The fossilized pollen was not of savanna vegetation.
56
171160
5000
Fosilizovani polen nije dio vegetacije savane.
02:56
Some of it even came from lianas,
57
176160
2000
Dio je čak bio od lijana,
02:58
those things that dangle in the middle of the jungle.
58
178160
3000
onih koje vise svuda po džungli.
03:01
So we're left with a situation where
59
181160
2000
I tako smo došli u situaciju
03:03
we know that our earliest ancestors
60
183160
4000
da znamo kako su se naši najraniji preci
03:07
were moving around on four legs in the trees,
61
187160
4000
kretali na četiri noge po drveću,
03:11
before the savanna ecosystem even came into existence.
62
191160
5000
prije nego što je ekosisitem savane uopšte nastao.
03:16
This is not something I've made up.
63
196160
3000
Ovo nisam ja izmislila
03:19
It's not a minority theory.
64
199160
2000
Ovo nije manjinska teorija.
03:21
Everybody agrees with it.
65
201160
2000
Sa time se svi slažu.
03:23
Professor Tobias came over from South Africa
66
203160
4000
Profesor Tobias je došao iz Južne Afrike
03:27
and spoke to University College London.
67
207160
3000
i govorio na University College-u u Londonu.
03:30
He said, "Everything I've been telling you for the last 20 years,
68
210160
3000
Rekao je, sve što sam vam govorio zadnjih 20 godina,
03:33
forget about it. It was wrong.
69
213160
3000
zanemarite. Pogriješio sam.
03:36
We've got to go back to square one and start again."
70
216160
4000
Moramo se vratiti na početak i početi od početka.
03:40
It made him very unpopular. They didn't want to go back to square one.
71
220160
6000
To ga je učinilo nepopularnim. Nisu se htjeli vratiti na početak.
03:46
I mean, it's a terrible thing to happen.
72
226160
2000
Mislim, to što se dogodilo je grozno.
03:48
You've got this beautiful paradigm.
73
228160
3000
Imate jednu dobru paradigmu.
03:51
You've believed it through generations.
74
231160
2000
Vjerujete u nju generacijama.
03:53
Nobody has questioned it.
75
233160
2000
Nitko ju ne dovodi u pitanje.
03:55
You've been constructing fanciful things on top of it,
76
235160
4000
Nadograđivao si je zgodnim stvarima,
03:59
relying on it to be as solid as a rock.
77
239160
2000
oslanjajući se na nju kao na stijenu.
04:01
And now it's whipped away from under you.
78
241160
3000
I sad ju izvuku pod tobom.
04:04
What do you do? What does a scientist do in that case?
79
244160
3000
I šta napraviš? Šta naučnik u tom slučaju napravi?
04:07
Well, we know the answer because
80
247160
2000
Pa znamo odgovor, jer je
04:09
Thomas S. Kuhn
81
249160
3000
Thomas S. Kuhn
04:12
wrote a seminal treatise
82
252160
4000
napisao poticajnu tezu
04:16
about this back in 1962.
83
256160
2000
o tome 1962.
04:18
He said what scientists do
84
258160
2000
Rekao je da
04:20
when a paradigm fails
85
260160
4000
kada paradigma propadne,
04:24
is, guess what -- they carry on as if nothing had happened.
86
264160
3000
naučnici nastavljaju kao da se ništa nije dogodilo.
04:27
(Laughter)
87
267160
3000
(Smijeh)
04:30
If they haven't got a paradigm they can't ask the question.
88
270160
3000
Ako nemaju paradigmu ne mogu postavljati pitanja.
04:33
So they say, "Yes it's wrong,
89
273160
2000
Pa kažu, "Da, paradigma je kriva,
04:35
but supposing it was right ..."
90
275160
2000
ali da nije ..."
04:37
(Laughter)
91
277160
2000
(Smijeh)
04:39
And the only other option open to them
92
279160
4000
I jedini izbor koji imaju
04:43
is to stop asking the questions.
93
283160
2000
jest da prestanu pitati pitanja.
04:45
So that is what they have done now.
94
285160
4000
I to su i napravili i ovaj put.
04:49
That's why you don't hear them talking about it. It's yesterday's question.
95
289160
3000
Zato ne pričaju o tome. To je prošlo pitanje.
04:52
Some of them have even elevated it into a principle.
96
292160
3000
Neki su čak iz toga napravili i princip.
04:55
It's what we ought to be doing.
97
295160
2000
Time se moramo baviti.
04:57
Aaron Filler from Harvard said,
98
297160
3000
Aaron Filler sa Harvarda je rekao,
05:00
"Isn't it time we stopped talking about selective pressures?
99
300160
4000
"Nije li vrijeme da prestanemo pričati o selekcijskom pritisku?
05:04
I mean, why don't we talk about, well, there's chromosomes, and there's genes.
100
304160
3000
Zašto ne bismo pričali o hromozomima i genima.
05:07
And we just record what we see."
101
307160
3000
Pa da bilježimo ono što vidimo."
05:10
Charles Darwin must be spinning in his grave!
102
310160
3000
Charles Darwin se okreće u grobu!
05:13
He knew all about that kind of science.
103
313160
3000
On je znao sve o takvoj vrsti nauke.
05:16
And he called it hypothesis-free science.
104
316160
3000
On je zvao, nauka bez hipoteza.
05:19
And he despised it from the bottom of his heart.
105
319160
3000
I prezirao je iz dna duše.
05:22
And if you're going to say,
106
322160
3000
I ako kažete,
05:25
"I'm going to stop talking about selective pressures,"
107
325160
2000
"Neću više pričati o selekcijskim pritiscima,"
05:27
you can take "The Origin of Species" and throw it out of the window,
108
327160
4000
možete uzeti "Porijeklo vrsta" i baciti ga kroz prozor.
05:31
for it's about nothing else but selective pressures.
109
331160
2000
Jer u njima piše jedino o selektivnim pritiscima.
05:33
And the irony of it is,
110
333160
2000
A ironija jest u tome,
05:35
that this is one occasion of a paradigm collapse
111
335160
3000
da je ovo rijedak slučaj pada paradigme
05:38
where we didn't have to wait for a new paradigm to come up.
112
338160
4000
kada ne trebamo čekati pojavu nove paradigme.
05:42
There was one waiting in the wings.
113
342160
2000
Postoji jedna i čeka na svoj red.
05:44
It had been waiting there since 1960
114
344160
2000
Čeka u pozadini od 1960.
05:46
when Alister Hardy, a marine biologist,
115
346160
3000
kad je Alister Hardy, morski biolog,
05:49
said, "I think what happened,
116
349160
2000
rekao, "Mislim da su možda,
05:51
perhaps our ancestors
117
351160
2000
naši preci
05:53
had a more aquatic existence
118
353160
2000
dio vremena
05:55
for some of the time."
119
355160
3000
provodili u vodenom okolišu."
05:58
He kept it to himself for 30 years.
120
358160
2000
Držao je to za sebe 30 godina.
06:00
But then the press got hold of it and all hell broke loose.
121
360160
3000
Ali onda su to saznale novine i nastao je haos.
06:03
All his colleagues said, "This is outrageous.
122
363160
3000
Sve njegove kolege rekli su, "Ovo je nečuveno.
06:06
You've exposed us to public ridicule!
123
366160
4000
Izložio si nas javnom ismijavanju!
06:10
You must never do that again."
124
370160
2000
Nikada više to ne smiješ uraditi."
06:12
And at that time, it became set in stone:
125
372160
3000
I od tada je uklesano u kamenu
06:15
the aquatic theory should be dumped
126
375160
3000
vodena teorija se mora odbaciti
06:18
with the UFOs and the yetis,
127
378160
2000
zajedno sa NLO-ima i jetijima,
06:20
as part of the lunatic fringe of science.
128
380160
4000
kao dio ludih teorija u nauci.
06:24
Well I don't think that.
129
384160
2000
Ja nisam tako mislila.
06:26
I think that Hardy had a lot going for him.
130
386160
2000
Mislim da je puno išlo u prilog Hardyevoj tezi.
06:28
I'd like to talk about just a handful
131
388160
3000
Željela bih vam pričati o nekoliko,
06:31
of what have been called the
132
391160
2000
što bi se reklo,
06:33
hallmarks of mankind,
133
393160
2000
znakova čovječanstva.
06:35
the things that made us different from everybody else,
134
395160
2000
Stvari koje nas razlikuju od svih drugih,
06:37
and all our relatives.
135
397160
2000
i od svih naših predaka.
06:39
Let's look at our naked skin.
136
399160
4000
Pogledajmo našu golu kožu.
06:43
It's obvious that most of the things we think about
137
403160
4000
Očito je da većina bića
06:47
that have lost their body hair, mammals without body hair,
138
407160
3000
koja su izgubila dlake na tijelu, sisavci bez tjelesnih dlaka,
06:50
are aquatic ones, like the dugong, the walrus,
139
410160
3000
su vodena bića, kao gugong, morž,
06:53
the dolphin, the hippopotamus, the manatee.
140
413160
4000
delfin, nilski konj, morska krava.
06:57
And a couple of wallowers-in-mud like the babirusa.
141
417160
6000
I nekoliko onih koji se valjaju u blatu, kao babyrousa.
07:03
And you're tempted to think, well perhaps,
142
423160
2000
I vuče vas da pomislite,
07:05
could that be why we are naked?
143
425160
3000
možda su zato goli?
07:08
I suggested it and people said, "No no no.
144
428160
2000
To bih predložila, i ljudi bi rekli, "Ne ne ne.
07:10
I mean, look at the elephant.
145
430160
2000
Pogledaj slona.
07:12
You've forgotten all about the elephant haven't you?"
146
432160
2000
Zaboravila si na slona, zar ne?"
07:14
So back in 1982 I said,
147
434160
3000
Još 1982. sam rekla,
07:17
"Well perhaps the elephant had an aquatic ancestor."
148
437160
3000
"Pa možda slon ima vodenog pretka."
07:20
Peals of merry laughter!
149
440160
3000
Svi su se smijali!
07:23
"That crazy woman. She's off again. She'll say anything won't she?"
150
443160
3000
"Ta luda žena. Opet ona po svome."
07:26
But by now, everybody agrees that the elephant had an aquatic ancestor.
151
446160
6000
Ali sada se svi slažu da je slon imao vodenog pretka.
07:32
This has come 'round to be that all those naked pachyderms
152
452160
3000
I sve se vratilo na to da svi goli debelokošci
07:35
have aquatic ancestors.
153
455160
2000
imaju vodenog pretka.
07:37
The last exception was supposed to be the rhinoceros.
154
457160
2000
Zadnji izuzetak je bio nosorog.
07:39
Last year in Florida they found extinct ancestor of a rhinoceros
155
459160
4000
Lani su na Floridi našli izumrlog pretka nosoroga
07:43
and said, "Seems to have spent most of its time in the water."
156
463160
4000
i rekli, "Čini se da je većinu vremena provodio u vodi."
07:47
So this is a close connection between nakedness and water.
157
467160
5000
Znači postoji bliska veza između golosti i vode.
07:52
As an absolute connection, it only works one way.
158
472160
3000
Ali kao apsolutna veza; radi samo u jednom smjeru.
07:55
You can't say all aquatic animals are naked,
159
475160
4000
Nisu sve vodene životinje gole.
07:59
because look at the sea otter.
160
479160
2000
Jer imamo morsku vidru.
08:01
But you can say
161
481160
2000
Ali može se reći
08:03
that every animal that has become naked
162
483160
4000
da je svaka životinja koja je postala gola
08:07
has been conditioned by water, in its own lifetime,
163
487160
3000
bila uvjetovana vodom, u svojem životnom vijeku
08:10
or the lifetime of its ancestors. I think this is significant.
164
490160
4000
ili životnom vjeku svojih predaka. Mislim da je ovo značajno.
08:14
The only exception is the naked Somalian mole-rat,
165
494160
4000
Jedina iznimka je gola Somalijska krtica.
08:18
which never puts its nose above the surface of the ground.
166
498160
4000
Koja nikada ne izlazi na površinu.
08:22
And take bipedality.
167
502160
2000
Pogledajmo dvonožnost.
08:24
Here you can't find anybody to compare it with,
168
504160
3000
To ne možemo uporediti sa bilo kojom životinjom.
08:27
because we're the only animal that walks upright on two legs.
169
507160
5000
Jer smo jedina životinja koja hoda uspravno na dvije noge.
08:32
But you can say this: all the apes and all the monkeys
170
512160
3000
Ali možemo reći i ovo, svi majmuni
08:35
are capable of walking on two legs,
171
515160
2000
imaju sposobnost hodati na dvije noge,
08:37
if they want to, for a short time.
172
517160
2000
ako žele, na kratko vrijeme.
08:39
There is only one circumstance in which they
173
519160
3000
Postoji samo jedan slučaj u kojem oni,
08:42
always, all of them, walk on two legs,
174
522160
3000
uvijek, svi, hodaju na dvije noge,
08:45
and that is when they are wading through water.
175
525160
3000
a to je kad gaze kroz vodu.
08:48
Do you think that's significant?
176
528160
2000
Mislite li da je to značajno?
08:50
David Attenborough thinks it's significant,
177
530160
2000
David Attenborough misli da je značajno.
08:52
as the possible beginning of our bipedalism.
178
532160
4000
Kao mogući začetak dvonožnosti.
08:56
Look at the fat layer.
179
536160
2000
Pogledajmo sloj sala.
08:58
We have got, under our skin, a layer of fat, all over:
180
538160
4000
Pod kožom imamo sloj sala, posvuda.
09:02
nothing in the least like that in any other primate.
181
542160
4000
Ništa kao bilo koji drugi primat.
09:06
Why should it be there?
182
546160
2000
Zašto ga imamo?
09:08
Well they do know, that if you look at other aquatic mammals,
183
548160
3000
Znaju, da ako pogledamo druge vodene sisavce,
09:11
the fat that in most land mammals
184
551160
2000
salo koje je kod kopnenih sisavaca
09:13
is deposited inside the body wall,
185
553160
3000
naslagano unutar tijela,
09:16
around the kidneys and the intestines and so on,
186
556160
4000
oko bubrega, crijeva i slično,
09:20
has started to migrate to the outside,
187
560160
2000
se počelo kretati prema van,
09:22
and spread out in a layer inside the skin.
188
562160
4000
te se nataložilo u sloju pod kožom.
09:26
In the whale it's complete:
189
566160
2000
Kod kita je prešlo do kraja.
09:28
no fat inside at all, all in blubber outside.
190
568160
3000
Nema sala unutra, svo je vani pod kožom.
09:31
We cannot avoid the suspicion
191
571160
3000
Ne možemo zaobići pretpostavku
09:34
that in our case it's started to happen.
192
574160
3000
da se to kod nas počelo događati.
09:37
We have got skin lined with this layer.
193
577160
4000
Imamo sloj koji leži pod kožom.
09:41
It's the only possible explanation of why humans,
194
581160
3000
To je jedino moguće objašnjenje zašto ljudi,
09:44
if they're very unlucky,
195
584160
3000
ako nemaju sreće,
09:47
can become grossly obese,
196
587160
3000
mogu postati pretjerano gojazni,
09:50
in a way that would be totally impossible for any other primate, physically impossible.
197
590160
4000
na način koji je fizički nemoguć kod bilo kojeg drugog primata.
09:54
Something very odd, matter-of-factly, never explained.
198
594160
4000
To je nešto vrlo čudno, i nikad objašnjeno.
09:58
The question of why we can speak.
199
598160
2000
Pitanje zašto mi možemo govoriti.
10:00
We can speak.
200
600160
2000
Možemo govoriti.
10:02
And the gorilla can't speak. Why?
201
602160
3000
A gorila ne može. Zašto?
10:05
Nothing to do with his teeth or his tongue or his lungs or anything like that --
202
605160
4000
To nema veze sa njezinim zubima, jezikom, plućima ili tako nečim.
10:09
purely has to do with its conscious control of its breath.
203
609160
5000
To ima veze sa svjesnim kontroliranjem disanja.
10:14
You can't even train a gorilla to say "Ah" on request.
204
614160
5000
Gorilu se ne može naučiti niti da kaže "Ah" na komandu.
10:19
The only creatures that have got conscious control of their breath
205
619160
5000
Jedina bića koja imaju svjesnu kontrolu disanja
10:24
are the diving animals and the diving birds.
206
624160
3000
su životinje i ptice koje rone.
10:27
It was an absolute precondition for our being able to speak.
207
627160
5000
To je apsolutni preduslov za mogućnost govora.
10:32
And then again, there is the fact that we are streamlined.
208
632160
4000
Postoji i činjenica da smo aerodinamični.
10:36
Trying to imagine a diver
209
636160
2000
Pokušajte zamisliti skakača u vodi
10:38
diving into water -- hardly makes a splash.
210
638160
2000
koji kod ulaska u vodu jedva zapljusne.
10:40
Try to imagine a gorilla
211
640160
3000
Pokušajte zamisliti gorilu
10:43
performing the same maneuver,
212
643160
3000
da to isto napravi.
10:46
and you can see that, compared with gorilla,
213
646160
2000
Možete vidjeti da je naša građa, u porđenju sa gorilom,
10:48
we are halfway to being shaped like a fish.
214
648160
3000
na pola puta da smo građeni kao riba.
10:51
I am trying to suggest that, for 40-odd years,
215
651160
3000
Pokušavam reći da je već 40tak godina,
10:54
this aquatic idea has been miscategorized as lunatic fringe,
216
654160
5000
ova vodena teorija pogrešno kategorizirana kao luda ideja,
10:59
and it is not lunatic fringe.
217
659160
3000
a nije luda ideja.
11:02
And the ironic thing about it is that
218
662160
3000
A ironija je u tome da
11:05
they are not staving off the aquatic theory
219
665160
3000
oni ne sprječavaju vodenu teoriju
11:08
to protect a theory of their own,
220
668160
2000
da bi zaštitili svoju teoriju,
11:10
which they've all agreed on, and they love.
221
670160
2000
s kojom se svi slažu i svi vole.
11:12
There is nothing there.
222
672160
2000
Te teorije nema.
11:14
They are staving off the aquatic theory
223
674160
2000
Oni sprječavaju vodenu teoriju
11:16
to protect a vacuum.
224
676160
2000
kako bi zaštitili vakuum.
11:18
(Laughter)
225
678160
3000
(Smijeh)
11:21
(Applause)
226
681160
5000
(Pljesak)
11:26
How do they react when I say these things?
227
686160
3000
Kako reaguju kad kažem ove stvari?
11:29
One very common reaction I've heard about 20 times
228
689160
4000
Česta reakcija koju sam čula dvadesetak puta
11:33
is, "But it was investigated.
229
693160
2000
je, "Ali to je istraženo.
11:35
They conducted a serious investigation of this at the beginning,
230
695160
4000
Provodili su ozbiljne studije o ovome na početku,
11:39
when Hardy put forward his article."
231
699160
4000
kad je Hardy izdao svoj članak."
11:43
I don't believe it.
232
703160
3000
Ne vjerujem u to.
11:46
For 35 years I've been looking for any evidence
233
706160
3000
35 godina sam tražila dokaze
11:49
of any incident of that kind,
234
709160
2000
o takvom slučaju
11:51
and I've concluded that that's one of the urban myths.
235
711160
3000
i zaključila sam, da je to urbani mit.
11:54
It's never been done.
236
714160
3000
To se nikad nije dogodilo.
11:57
I ask people sometimes, and they say,
237
717160
2000
Ponekad pitam ljude, i oni kažu,
11:59
"I like the aquatic theory!
238
719160
2000
"Sviđa mi se vodena teorija!
12:01
Everybody likes the aquatic theory.
239
721160
2000
Svima se sviđa vodena teorija.
12:03
Of course they don't believe it, but they like it."
240
723160
2000
Naravno da ne vjeruju u nju, ali im se sviđa."
12:05
Well I say, "Why do you think it's rubbish?"
241
725160
4000
Onda ih pitam, "Zašto misliš da je pogrešna?"
12:09
They say "Well ...
242
729160
2000
Oni kažu "Pa ...
12:11
everybody I talk to says it's rubbish.
243
731160
3000
svi sa kojima pričam kažu da je pogrešna.
12:14
And they can't all be wrong, can they?"
244
734160
2000
A ne mogu svi biti u krivu, zar ne?"
12:16
The answer to that, loud and clear, is, "Yes! They can all be wrong."
245
736160
4000
Odgovor na to, jasan i glasan, je, "Da! Mogu svi biti u krivu."
12:20
History is strewn with the cases when they've all got it wrong.
246
740160
4000
Historija je prepuna slučajeva kad su svi u krivu.
12:24
(Applause)
247
744160
8000
(Pljesak)
12:32
And if you've got a scientific problem like that,
248
752160
2000
I kada imate naučni problem poput ovoga,
12:34
you can't solve it by holding a head count,
249
754160
3000
ne možete ga riješiti brojeći glasove,
12:37
and saying, "More of us say yes than say no."
250
757160
3000
i zaključivanjem, "Više nas kaže da nego ne."
12:40
(Laughter)
251
760160
1000
(Smijeh)
12:41
Apart from that, some of the heads count more than others.
252
761160
4000
Osim toga, neki glasovi znače više od drugih.
12:45
Some of them have come over.
253
765160
3000
Neki su promjenili stranu.
12:48
There was Professor Tobias. He's come over.
254
768160
3000
Kao Profesor Tobias. On je promjenio stranu.
12:51
Daniel Dennett, he's come over.
255
771160
2000
Daniel Dennett, on je promjenio stranu.
12:53
Sir David Attenborough, he's come over.
256
773160
4000
Sir David Attenborough, on je promjenio stranu.
12:57
Anybody else out there? Come on in.
257
777160
2000
Još neko? Slobodno uđite.
12:59
The water is lovely.
258
779160
2000
Voda je ugodna.
13:01
(Applause)
259
781160
3000
(Pljesak)
13:04
And now we've got to look to the future.
260
784160
5000
Sad moramo pogledati prema budućnosti.
13:09
Ultimately one of three things is going to happen.
261
789160
4000
Na kraju će se dogoditi jedna od tri stvari.
13:13
Either they will go on for the next 40 years, 50 years, 60 years.
262
793160
5000
Nastaviti će ovako slijedećih 40, 50, 60 godina.
13:18
"Yeah well we don't talk about that. Let's talk about something interesting."
263
798160
4000
"Nećemo pričati o tome. Pričajmo o nečemu zanimljivom."
13:22
That would be very sad.
264
802160
2000
To bi bilo jako tužno.
13:24
The second thing that could happen
265
804160
2000
Druga stvar koja bi se mogla dogoditi
13:26
is that some young genius will arrive,
266
806160
2000
jest da dođe kakav mladi genije,
13:28
and say, "I've found it.
267
808160
2000
i kaže, "Našao sam.
13:30
It was not the savanna, it was not the water, it was this!"
268
810160
4000
Nije bila savana, nije bila voda, bilo je ovo!"
13:34
No sign of that happening either.
269
814160
3000
Nema naznake da će se to dogoditi.
13:37
I don't think there is a third option.
270
817160
2000
Mislim da nema treće opcije.
13:39
So the third thing that might happen is
271
819160
3000
Pa bi treća stvar koja bi se dogodila mogla biti
13:42
a very beautiful thing.
272
822160
3000
jedna jako lijepa stvar.
13:45
If you look back at the early years of the last century,
273
825160
3000
Ako pogledamo unazad na rane godine prošlog stoljeća,
13:48
there was a stand-off, a lot of bickering and bad feeling
274
828160
4000
imali smo svađe i nerazumjevanje
13:52
between the believers in Mendel,
275
832160
2000
između pobornika Mendela,
13:54
and the believers in Darwin.
276
834160
3000
i pobornika Darwina.
13:57
It ended with a new synthesis:
277
837160
3000
Završilo je novom sintezom.
14:00
Darwin's ideas and Mendel's ideas
278
840160
3000
Darwinove i Mendelove ideje
14:03
blending together.
279
843160
2000
stopile su se u jednu.
14:05
And I think the same thing will happen here.
280
845160
3000
I mislim da će se isto dogoditi ovdje.
14:08
You'll get a new synthesis.
281
848160
3000
Dobit ćemo novu sintezu.
14:11
Hardy's ideas and Darwin's ideas
282
851160
2000
Hardyeve i Darwinove ideje
14:13
will be blended together.
283
853160
2000
stopit će se u jednu.
14:15
And we can move forward from there,
284
855160
2000
I onda možemo krenuti dalje,
14:17
and really get somewhere.
285
857160
2000
i stvarno doći nekuda.
14:19
That would be a beautiful thing.
286
859160
3000
To bi bilo jako lijepo.
14:22
It would be very nice for me if it happened soon.
287
862160
3000
Meni bi bilo drago da se to desi uskoro.
14:25
(Laughter)
288
865160
11000
(Smijeh)
14:36
Because I'm older now than George Burns was when he said,
289
876160
5000
Jer sam starija od George Burnsa kad je rekao,
14:41
"At my age, I don't even buy green bananas."
290
881160
4000
"U mojim godinama, više ne kupujem ni zelene banane."
14:45
(Laughter)
291
885160
6000
(Smijeh)
14:51
So if it's going to come and it's going to happen,
292
891160
3000
Zato ako će se to desiti,
14:54
what's holding it up?
293
894160
2000
šta ga zadržava?
14:56
I can tell you that in three words.
294
896160
3000
Mogu vam to reći u tri riječi.
14:59
Academia says no.
295
899160
4000
Akademija kaže ne.
15:03
They decided in 1960,
296
903160
2000
Odlučili su 1960.,
15:05
"That belongs with the UFOs and the yetis."

"To spada sa NLO-ima i jetijima."
15:08
And it's not easy to change their minds.
298
908160
4000
A nije lako promijeniti njihovo mišljenje.
15:12
The professional journals
299
912160
2000
Naučni časopisi
15:14
won't touch it with a barge pole.
300
914160
2000
neće to dirnuti ni štapom.
15:16
The textbooks don't mention it.
301
916160
3000
Udžbenici to ne spominju.
15:19
The syllabus doesn't mention even the fact that we're naked,
302
919160
3000
U nastavnom planu se ne spominje niti to da smo goli,
15:22
let alone look for a reason to it.
303
922160
3000
a kamoli da traže razlog za to.
15:25
"Horizon," which takes its cue from the academics,
304
925160
3000
TV emisijia "Horizon", koja sluša samo akademiju,
15:28
won't touch it with a barge pole.
305
928160
2000
to ne želi dirati ni štapom.
15:30
So we never hear the case put for it,
306
930160
4000
Zato nikada ne čujemo za taj slučaj,
15:34
except in jocular references
307
934160
3000
osim u šaljivim referencama
15:37
to people on the lunatic fringe.
308
937160
2000
na račun ljudi na granici ludila.
15:39
I don't know quite where this diktat comes from.
309
939160
6000
Ne znam otkuda dolazi ovaj diktat.
15:45
Somebody up there
310
945160
2000
Neko odozgo
15:47
is issuing the commandment,
311
947160
4000
daje naredbe,
15:51
"Thou shalt not believe in the aquatic theory.
312
951160
4000
"Ne smiješ vjerovati u vodenu teoriju."
15:55
And if you hope to make progress in this profession,
313
955160
3000
I ako se nadaš napretku u ovom zanimanju,
15:58
and you do believe it, you'd better keep it to yourself,
314
958160
4000
i vjeruješ u to, bolje da držiš to za sebe.
16:02
because it will get in your way."
315
962160
2000
Jer će ti to smetati u napretku.
16:04
So I get the impression that some parts
316
964160
3000
Zato imam osjećaj da se neki dijelovi
16:07
of the scientific establishment
317
967160
3000
naučnog establišmenta
16:10
are morphing into a kind of priesthood.
318
970160
4000
pretvaraju u neku vrstu sveštenstva.
16:14
But you know, that makes me feel good,
319
974160
4000
Ali znate, to me čini sretnom.
16:18
because Richard Dawkins has told us
320
978160
3000
Jer Richard Dawkins je rekao
16:21
how to treat a priesthood.
321
981160
2000
kako se odnosi prema sveštenstvu.
16:23
(Laughter)
322
983160
2000
(Smjeh)
16:25
He says, "Firstly, you've got to refuse to give it
323
985160
3000
Rekao je, "Prvo im moraš uskratiti
16:28
all the excessive awe and reverence
324
988160
3000
svo strahopoštovanje
16:31
it's been trained to receive."
325
991160
2000
na koje su naučeni."
16:33
Right. I'll go ahead with that.
326
993160
2000
Dobro. To ću napraviti.
16:35
And secondly, he says,
327
995160
2000
I drugo, kaže,
16:37
"You must never be afraid to rock the boat."
328
997160
3000
"Nikada se ne smiješ bojati dići prašinu."
16:40
I'll go along with that too.
329
1000160
2000
I to ću napraviti.
16:42
Thank you very much.
330
1002160
2000
Puno vam hvala.
16:44
(Applause)
