Your Inner Fish was a great book. Loved the stuff on embryo development.

I find it funny when creationists attack Darwin. The guy published OTOoS 150 years ago. We've learned a great deal since then.

I too enjoyed Shubin's book. Really made me appreciate paleontology, something I hadn't really thought a great deal about before. He talks about going to Canada each summer for something like 6 years and not finding what he's looking for until the last year (funding was to be pulled). Fantastic.

i think he also estimated the earths age to about 600 MY

Very cool, video about the man who postulated the theory of natural selection from one of the men who made the one of the most important findings that validates that theory. Thanks for the upload.

yeah, instead it's people like Fred and Nighiga who get all the views, while the brilliant minds of the world, who are trying desperately to educate the public, are almost entirely ignored. It's such a horrible shame.

It's a shame videos like this get such little attention.
