I wish the distances he was listing for our ancestors were more relevant to N.American locals. But I get the BIG picture. ;->

It's sad that people with little or no scientific education believe they're qualified to criticize it.

He meant the branches, which signifiy how close they're related to each other.

I think he means the actual tree is not to scale, not the models at the ends of the branches.

"Here we have the zebra and the rhino... not to scale"
lol. The toy zebra is about 3 times the size of the rhino and smaller than the lion. The insects are the size of the mammals, and some of the animals are the same size of the branches that represent the millions of years they have evolved. I love that he finds it necessary to point out that it's not to scale.

If capitalism was such a brilliant system then we would not have had the WWII. Capitalism had made millions of peoples lives misery. What do you think these people should have done? Starve! Should people have just watched their children starve and hope that thing would get better. There was no shortage of food or materials back in the 30s but millions suffered. The same applies now. We will see more unrest and a rise a crime as the credit crunch bites even deeper, youmight become a victim of it

2 in the 1930s we had the great depression millions throughout Europe and America were living in the most disgraceful poverty. This eventually lead to war with the rise of Hitler. The end of the war saw the development of the eastern block countries where an attempt to start a new social order against the exploitation of the capitalist system. Even present day capitalism is now failing i.e. the credit crunch. people are having their houses repossessed etc. Should they all live on the street?
