play

06/02/21 • 34 min

How and why did reptiles start to fly?
Dr Corwin Sullivan is an Associate Professor of Biological Sciences at the University of Alberta, Canada. Along with studying the origin of birds and flight, Dr Sullivan researches the diversity, evolution and functional morphology of fossil vertebrates, especially dinosaurs.
How did feathers evolve? Why did feathered dinosaurs take to the air & how did they figure that out?
MARK from Evolution Soup talks all things birds, flight & feathers with Dr Sullivan in a fully illustrated by the art of PBS Eons contributor, Julio Lacerda (thank you to Julio for his kind permission to use his amazing work!).

Charles Darwin is known for 'On the Origin of Species' and for outlining the biological process of evolution, but why do so many see him as not only wrong, but immoral? What exactly is 'social darwinism' and was Darwin really in favor of cleansing the 'unfit' from the world, as the so-called 'survival of the fittest' suggests?
BARRY DESBOROUGH returns to Talk Beliefs to give an overview of Darwin's discoveries, outlook, and intentions. Was he a good man... or a monster?
Barry Desborough studied at Christchurch college, Canterbury (now a part of Kent University, Canterbury, UK.) and gained a Diploma in Education. His childhood in Malaysia in the 1960s, observing the casual racism of colonials, led to research into evolutionary psychology and human nature.

Evolution Soup - Secrets of the La Brea Tar Pits ~ with Ray Castillo
play

08/14/19 • 18 min

The scene of hapless mammoths and saber tooth tigers trapped in merciless tar is a well-known image... but what are the La Brea Tar Pits and what are their history?
MARK from Evolution Soup talks with RAY CASTILLO - an intern at the La Brea Tar Pits Museum in Los Angeles about the secrets of the Tar Pits, the long-extinct animals found fossilized within, and the most common questions asked of him by fascinated visitors to the museum.

LAURA VAN HOLSTEIN is a PhD Candidate at the University of Cambridge who has recently published her revolutionary research on the role of subspecies in evolution, authenticating one of Charles Darwin's theories.
Laura studied for her BA from 2013 to 2016 in Biological Anthropology. Her main fields of research include human evolution and phylogenetic comparative methods.
MARK from Evolution Soup talks with Laura about her ground-breaking work, what is meant by a 'subspecies' and how these phenotypically distinct groups can lead to new species.
We even chat about Tiger King!

The remarkable Thylacine (or 'TASMANIAN TIGER') was a carnivorous marsupial that existed in Australia and Tasmania up until 1936. DNA exists that could allow us to clone one - but should we?
MARK from Evolution Soup catches up with PROFESSOR ANDREW PASK from his home in Melbourne, Australia to talk about Thylacine history, biology, and how he was able to successfully sequence its genome.
Andrew Pask is the Professor of BioSciences the University of Melbourne. He has published over 100 papers on developmental genetics particularly using eutherian-marsupial comparisons. Of note, his recent work involved sequencing the genome of the extinct thylacine and was the feature article in Nature Ecology and Evolution.
02:06 Were you always interested in extinct animals?
03:31 Why did the Tasmanian Tiger go extinct?
06:57 Talk about the Thylacine & 'convergent evolution'.

Ten feet tall and with teeth twice as big as a humans - and it really existed! Gigantopithecus was the largest ape that ever lived. Evident from only a few fossils, this beast is a continual source of fascination for people because of its size and the mystery surrounding it.
ANDREW HOLMES is a paleoanthropologist & PhD candidate at the University of Toronto - studying the evolutionary history of ancient apes. He catches up with MARK from Evolution Soup to talk all things Gigantopithecus. (Fully illustrated interview)

SPECIAL EPISODE! In 1996 a skull and skeleton were stumbled upon near the banks of the Columbia River in Washington State. What followed were years of speculation, assumptions, legal battles and contention. The remains of the 9000-year-old Paleoamerican dubbed 'Kennewick Man' consumed the world of archaeology and Native American repatriation rights for years as both parties claimed the remains.
So who was the Kennewick Man really? Was 'the ancient one' the ancestor the Native Americans claimed that he could only be? Or was he a stranger from a far off land, upsetting centuries of oral tradition?
Archaeologist Carlton Gover has Native American heritage and is also a scientist - and looks at this fascinating case from both sides, revealing some surprising facts in a fully-illustrated interview.
#kennewickman #nativeamerican #archaeology
CARLTON GOVER is a Doctorate Student & Archaeologist at University of Colorado Boulder and studies at University of Colorado, Boulder. He is Pawnee on his father's side and a member of the Pawnee Nation of Oklahoma. He is one of the hosts of the popular A Life In Ruins archaeology podcast.

ELLA BEAUDOIN works at the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History in Washington, D.C. (specifically the Human Origins program), where she works to help and engage and teach the public on evolution and archaeology.
Her current project is to teach the facts of evolution to school children in Alabama - a largely conservative, Christian state - in a way which is sensitive to their deeply-held religious beliefs.
MARK from Talk Beliefs talks with Ella about the challenges of presenting evolution in a place where it is often seen as not only incorrect - but immoral.
This interview was aired on the Talk Beliefs YouTube Channel, here: http://bit.ly/2WfttvX.
