Seven science colleagues present tributes to Paul S. Martin, 1928 - 2010: Jim King, Geoff Spaulding, Gary Haynes, Alberto Burquez, Tom Van Devender, David Burney, and Connie Barlow (plus, Paul's son, Tom Martin). The outdoor memorial service was held on the University of Arizona's Tumamoc Hill (Tucson) on 12 November 2011. Pleistocene ecology and other topics discussed include: palynology, packrat middens as a chronological source of fossil pollen data, megafaunal extinctions of the Quaternary, the Overkill hypothesis, natural history of the Southwestern USA and northern Mexico, Rio Mayo plants, neotropical anachronisms (and the fruits the gomphotheres ate), Pleistocene Rewilding, and the Mammoth Memorial Service at the Mammoth Site in South Dakota. Closing hymn: "Bring Back the Elephants." Each tribute begins at these times:
Tom Martin "Childhood Memories" (0:44)
Jim King "The Pollen Years" (7:31)
Geoff Spaulding "Packrat Middens and Pleistocene Vegetation" (15:47)
Gary Haynes "Overkill and Pleistocene Extinctions" (19:27)
Alberto Burquez "Rio Mayo Plants" (22:38)
Tom Van Devender "Natural History of the Southwest" (30:00)
David Burney "Pleistocene Rewilding" (35:00)
Connie Barlow "Bring Back the Elephants" (45:36)

Hello evolution enthusiasts. This is Connie Barlow, aka ghostsofevolution. I just uploaded onto my other channel a richly illustrated video review of Richard Dawkins' new book -- which is not just for kids. I love this book -- and it just might change the world! See why on this video:

Illustrated commentary on the 2011 children's book by one of our greatest scientists. Barlow and Dowd read excerpts, show pictures, and discuss why this "courageous and necessary book" may indeed help evolve the religions of the world along the lines of, what Dowd calls, the Evidential Reformation.

For me that lecture wasn't the first time I heard his voice, I saw a few documentaries he did, The private life of Gannets, Enough to eat (1936) and Heredity in Man (1937).
I think he was quite ahead of his time too, with his views on wildlife conservation and the world population growth problem.
I'm loving this new creative venue for you. You always amaze me when your empirical self bursts forth through your expressive impulses. Keep on truckin!
