This is a profoundly significant exposition of the practical side of evolution. Why are there no comments? Is it just the usual, boring, American evangelical prohibition against all thoughts evolutionary? Come on, people. Give me some sugar!
shareDr. Shubin has done well this early in the series. I particularly like the 'hands-on, dirty work in remote locations' aspects of the science. The answers don't just come about by opening the 'good book'. I do find it odd the few science blogs I visit have not given a shout out as they did with Cosmos with Dr. DeGrasse-Tyson.
I am a fan of the not-well-received 'aquatic ape theory'. So I was mildly irked by the consensus-driven timeline displayed on the show. Anyways, until the questions raised by the theory are addressed rather than dismissed, life and science move on.
