  • I enjoyed this series and it is well presented. The content on fossils, the focus of the lectures, is very good.

    However be warned that Simon Conway Morris is a Christian and has published works invoking the hand of god in designing nature, such as an easily googleable piece in the Guardian.

  • To me he looks like Stephen King, lol. You can tell he's from Britain by the way he says "Affffrica," lol. He probably uses the word 'Brilliant' alot, while some US. scientists like Carl Sagan used 'Amaze-ing'. I still think 'Cosmic Onion' is one of the best 'Christmas Lectures', but this one is pretty good too.

  • @JosephKnight93 you must feel so cold

  • nice video!, with a special thanks to christopher who sent me this link!

  • I disagree with Dr. Conway Morris on a number of things with regards to evolutionary theory.

    But one of the very best things about the scientific profession is that, despite our differences in world view and theoretical interpretation, I can feel the love of fossils emanating from Conway Morris in this lecture. And in science, this common shared passion for our subject is something that transcends debate and gives us unity. Bravo.
