Darwin Day 2010 -- Ian Tattersall: Darwin and Human Evolution

On the day after the anniversary of Charles Darwin's birthday, prominent paleoanthropologist Ian Tattersall gives a public lecture about Darwin and his impact on what we know about human evolution. Tattersall, curator in the anthropology department at the American Museum of Natural History, then sits down for a conversation with Massimo Pigliucci, Chair of the Philosophy Department at City University of New York (CUNY) at Lehman College.

This event was sponsored by the Center for Inquiry in New York City, New York City Skeptics, and the student group Free Inquiry and Secular Humanism at CUNY-Hunter College.

Massimo Pigliucci was at my university the other week. I am most impressed with his books ! Of course, I am a huge fan of Ian, as well !

Nice vid. Thanks :)

1:14:00 ... Why philosophy, religion and ....? Why not just philosophy? If you can't get a truely tangible and difinitive answer from science then all there's is left to do is philosphize and hypothesize. I can't see where religion comes into that area except as possibly a mild reference to an idea.
