No chance to pay for college so thank God for these universities and colleges putting lectures up on KZbin. It's what I live for, anything that has to do with life how it came to be where it's at and where it's going

Earlier in the talk I thought of the crocodile remains on Aldabra near the upsidedown jellyfish pool also near to where the sacred ibris hung out and the large fruit bats hung down from the bushes. Did he know about it? When you mentioned Aldabra I nearly jumped off my seat. Thanks for that mention brought back memories of 36 years ago. Thanks for the presentation I enjoyed it.

Depending on when we're talking about there may not have been much of an Atlantic Ocean to speak of. Don't forget, the Earth didn't always look the way it does now with continents where they are now.
@kc3718

Mid Atlantic Ridge creates new seabed and so the Atlantic isn't that old geologically speaking and thus was much smaller when they crossed. I think that movement/ seabed generation is just a few cm per year. If you look at South America and Africa the coastlines were once joined and also Scotland was joined to North America. A quick calculation which may not be accurate is that 6 million years ago the distance was 150km less or circa 100 miles...

Great presentation. Horrible filming. Really bad. Camera-person: keep the dang slides on frame. Don't wander around with he presenter. He's not as important as the data on the screen, which you constantly abandoned to follow him around as he talked, waved his arms and POINTED AT THE SCREEN WE COULD NOT SEE! What was it that made you cue on his face and ignore the slide presentation? This was a fine lecture with horrifically frustrating camera coverage.

I’ve never seen someone fail at humor so many times in one speech that would’ve been just fine without any humor at all! I actually started to feel bad for the guy towards the end when he said something he obviously thought was hilarious and looked at the audience to share a good laugh only to hear crickets and awkward silence!

Don't get me wrong, the information itself was wonderful and interesting, but man, his jokes just made me face-palm. Know your strengths man, humor isn't one of them.
