Ancestors with Professor Alice Roberts | The Royal Society

[@royalsociety]

Anyone joining us for Summer Science 2021 who's new to the Royal Society, please do subscribe to keep up to date. We put out regular lectures on a broad range of science subjects. We also release short videos on exciting science, independently and partnered with the BBC. Many videos are hosted by Brian Cox, our Professor for Public Engagement.

[@TopperPenquin]

Stevenson Gold indeed. Dr.Roberts can you explain to Us how memories of our forefathers encode into our DNA ?

[@TopperPenquin]

It's pretty obvious that the higher the cortex neurones the greater the necessity for foetal retained memory in speech. A bovine with higher necessity for food and a aviarian with higher necessity for speech retention. I did observe the BoyBird having jumped from his nest at less than two weeks of age and raised by me whilst sleeping in his ice cream container nest at night would in order repeat the all the different calls the Wild Lorikeets would make. I wondered how he could repeat these calls so precisely having never heard a Wild Lorikeet call. It is my understanding that we Parrott the Parrots and that we in fact are only mimicking them. Additionally I did note Boy's father could not talk however his mother could talk up a storm which was quite the opposite in terms of Bird Brains.🦜🦉

What a remarkable woman Alice Roberts is! I've watched so many of the programs she presented and have learned so much. What a delight. She is the perfect person to receive this award.

[@MrTorleon]

I have been following Prof. Alice Roberts career for many decades, and the presentation of this prestigious inaugural David Attenborough award to her is the well deserved recognition for her many and diverse services to science. Congratulations to you Alice Roberts :) Highly intelligent, beautifully attractive, approachable and modest, but unquestionably passionate within her chosen fields of science and communication - absolutely splendid.

Found Alice to be in wonderland with that disgusting freak David Attenborough who stated humans are a plague. Do you like being told you are a plague?

[@waterisempiricallylevel.4059]

@@broto8 No, wrong. David Attenborough is a criminal, actually a psychopath. 'It' has no understanding of the natural world and calls humans a plague whilst promoting living on a spinning, wobbling, pear shaped oblate spheroid that sometimes a sphere. Zipping through the vacuum of space, with not one practical demonstration of this magical theory.

So we'll keep at that.

Alice Roberts. If there was an award for the sexiest scientist, she would be the winner every year. Have watched many of her programmes over the years. Very interesting and my children can understand what the subjects are about.

[@annawilliams6661]

An enlightening talk. Something at the end caught my attention. Around ways in which we could know what thoughts occurred. In some ways finding meaning from the art and the objects may actually provide more insight than someone's thoughts. That's because what we think isn't always the reality, what if the truth is somewhere deeper and the only way this is expressed is through the items we hold precious to us, or that we create.

[@rogerwhittle2078]

Ever since Time Team - my all time favourite television programme - Alice Roberts has been my all time favourite Scientist and, to be entirely non PC, it never hurt that she was and is; drop dead gorgeous. It is because of her I refrain from accusing those with no imagination, wit or common sense of being 'Neanderthal' and, because of her, I know most of us have a Neanderthal component to our DNA. When you realise there are thousands, tens of thousands of people, mostly American, many of them well educated, out there who believe - fervently - that the planet is 6000 years old and Noah's Ark was real, it makes you wonder who is wrong? Them, or Alice? I'll give you three guesses as to who I think gets the wooden spoon of history. I don't know if it is perverse or deluded, but I hold a number of people in great esteem - as I do Alice - mostly for their ability to explain and pass on their knowledge, enthusiasm and love for their subject. Rightly or wrongly, I class Alice alongside the greatly missed Fred Dibnah. I am primarily an engineer, so he always ticked boxes for me and I could see and feel where he was going immediately. (With his "demonsterations) Alice has many academic qualifications that Fred did not, but it is her lovely Bristol accent and gentle view of her subject that fascinates me.

[@catzkeet4860]

@@gregkilby7043 can you really be so tone deaf that you do not understand that it has NOTHING whatever to do with “appreciating” someone’s beauty(men also, can be beautiful) but rather it is the use of someone’s physical appearance as a meter for ones reaction to them....to infer that beauty(a total genetic accident) takes precedence over intelligence and scholarly experience(which takes hard work as well as a keen mind), and to therefore trivialise that intelligence. Unless you also comment on the “attractiveness” of male scholars? Or is the truth of it simply that you resent being called on being thoughtless and ignorant?

You may feel that you are being complimentary.......and you may even believe that it’s a compliment to a woman to be told that a male finds her attractive, alluring pretty.....in short, decorative, instead of commenting on the award she just received, the work she does in education, the science that she has presented, her obvious enthusiasm for her field or ANYthing really that has ANY bearing on her presentation (a hint for you....her appearance does not) but I regret to inform you that this is not the case because however you look at it, it’s a pretty backhanded sort of “compliment” The sad part is that you don’t seem to realise this.

The Archer's shoulder abnormalities were most likely from the physical stresses of being an archer. As a former longbow archer, myself, i lean toward this. At an annual physical, my new doctor saw a huge lump on my right scapula and stated i had a large fatty tumor. :) it was not. It was a large knot of muscle.

Could the Amesbury Archer be related to Ötzi the Iceman, who was recovered from the Italian Alps in 1991?

[@zapfanzapfan]

Ötzi is about 1000 years older I think. It would be interesting to see an isotope analysis of the archers daggers to see if the copper in them is from Austria. Bronze artifacts in Sweden were tested and the copper in them was not locally sourced, it was from Austria or thereabout.

I have visited the Archer in Salisbury Museum. It makes me very sad to see him and other collections of human bones in museums. I don't believe in an afterlife but one of things that makes us human is our respect for our dead and these burials were certainly made with respect forthe deceased. After examination, I believe that the dead should be reinterred, the way we do when more modern crematories are excavated.

Yes flood is a good word to use here as the flood of evidence removes the mythology and dogma of Christendom for good.

Dr. Roberts: I consider that we were in low oxygenated water. We had to fan our gills to assist in oxygen intake. Considering how we fan our hands when strumming a guitar this is similar to fanning our hands to supply music to our ears as our ears once anatomically were gills. Furthermore I believe we took the initiative in these depleted oxygen environments to suck oxygen into our early developing lungs by way of depleting water oxygenation through the available swamp reeds. It is this same drawing in by way of smoking cigarettes or cigars or even a PIPE or playing a flute or trumpet or blown a bungle or hearing bagpipes play that fullfill's our soul. Additionally while straining to keep our head above water so to speak we may of had our feet planted in the mud which much like the DEAD SEA MUD therapy or Japanese Foot Patches. Why: Because a Comet came through the skies and knocked over all the trees making surface breathing difficult so being wise we sucked air through gaps or even reeds or hollowed tree branches. The air so depleted of oxygen to begin with because of volcanic activity Why: Because of Earth's changing electro magnetic fields Why: Because Comets being heavy metals will alter course and crash into Earth. Kind of like opposite poles attract Therefore Miss Pagan Red Head: God Exist.
