A Brief History of the Theory of Evolution

After some technical difficulties I was finally able to upload this, just in time for Charles Darwin's 200th birthday. This is a short tribute to him and the many scientists who have worked hard to increase our understanding of the diversity of life.

I would also like to say hello and thanks to all my new and old subscribes! Thank you all for your supportive comments and ratings.
And to AndromedasWake, I can't thank you enough! If we ever happen to meet I'll buy you a beer ;)

I'll be making some new videos soon in the style of my previous ones.

Music: Portal - Still Alive (by Jonathan Coulton)
The video footage is from the intro of the BBC documentary "Galapagos":

Darwin's theory of evolution is wonderful. Just ashame it's completely wrong.

[SchrodingersFinch]

@IrnBruFiend Completely wrong? So you deny that natural selection is a key mechanism of evolution? You deny that speciation occurs? You are of course free to do so, but you are in fact denying over a hundred years of scientific observation.

Excellent video. Thanks. Though, I object, to, the comma, placement at, 0:40.

But to be sure, an excellent video.

I hope we all get our cake, someday.

[SchrodingersFinch]

Thanks.

I have no idea how that got there. I do appreciate proper grammar.

@IrnBruFiend

"which would mean you are the one in ignorance surrounding the full scope of evidence surrounding human origins."

Oh, pray tell, what evidence might that be? I am shaking with anticipation.

[IrnBruFiend]

@MomoTheBellyDancer

Which precisely describes yourself. It is highly likely you are not aware of the middle ground (besides Creationism & Evolution), which would mean you are the one in ignorance surrounding the full scope of evidence surrounding human origins. Enjoy!

@IrnBruFiend

"Just ashame it's completely wrong. "

Well, only if you ignore all the evidence.
