During Richard Dawkins' 2009 American tour, we visited Judy Diamond's "Explore Evolution" exhibit at the University of Nebraska State Museum in Lincoln. This exhibit has now been replicated in six museums around the country. While visiting we filmed a collection of short unrehearsed and unscripted videos—just inspired by the "Explore Evolution" exhibit.

@talons2112 Science drives modern agriculture. You’re a recalcitrant, uneducated and bigoted idiot. I have wasted far too much time on you now.

@NotEnoughLions farming and cultivation, human rights neither of which took a scientist to hold their hands, and yes science has helped medicine save the lives of people who had otherwise died however it has done nothing to extend our lives past what we are gentically coded to live. if you still feel otherwise could you please cite some names of people we know that lived in that time? say about 20 their ages at death and average of all.no graves necesary i will accept historical records

@talons2112 The AVERAGE age during the Bronze Age was 26 years. The current world's (including the third world) AVERAGE age (2010) is 67.2 years. What made the difference? Firstly better food production thanks to science, secondly improved living and working conditions thanks to science and thirdly the breakthroughs science has made in modern medicine.

@Helge129 science has nothing to do with not smoking, drinking, exercising more, or picking up the garbage around where we live. they do have a lot to do with all the chemicals introduced into our environment, land mines, bombs, cigaretes, toxic dumps, radioactive waste. and their methods of dealing with these issues are ignored by those responsible for spreading them around in the first place. its not cost effective. so why should we have to pay a tax because a fctry wnt deal wth ts waste?

@Helge129 you give far too much credit to scientists. it doesnt take a scientist to tell you how to wash your hands, do some push ups, eat your vegetables and dont live where people will shoot you or get dressed in the morning

@talons2112 And how do you think all that improved? SCIENCE.
