When were hours increased? Besides, sure we can work less, but in a world without magic that means we're getting poorer

When were hours increased? Besides, sure we can work less, but in a world without magic that means we're getting poorer

Well, it didn't get officially increased, but the trend it to "work more". As for your second remark, it might not seem very obvious, but working more does not mean an increase of productivity. On the opposite, it seems to rather lower productivity, essentially because too much time working increase stress level, decrease motivation etc.

1️⃣ Naturalist Charles Darwin returned to England on this day in 1836 after a five-year journey on the HMS Beagle. 🚢 During his trip he observed species of animals and created the theory of evolution by natural selection. 🦉🐗🐺🐛🐭🐼🦊🐥🐸🦁🐨

I think he started to write about natural selection a few years later. His trip was essentially to make naturalist observations and experiments. Certainly it helped to come with the idea/to formulate his theory, but if you read the origin of Species, you will see that many of his arguments also use domesticated species (pigeons, farm animals, plants...). It took him more than 20 years after this trip to publish first with Wallace, who more or less got the same idea with Darwin, then to publish the Origin of species.
