CARTA: Early Hominids: Origins of Hominids; Paleoenvironments of Early Hominids

Renowned paleoanthropologist Tim White of UC Berkeley, who is widely credited for his role in the discovery of Ardi, gives a fascinating overview of the search for the origins of Hominids in Africa, and Andrew Hill provides insight into the environments in which our earliest ancestors lived.

[@martinwong6628]

Thank you. Great insight

[@joeschmo5699]

I like this guy, Tim White. He's in your face and fuck the establishment bullshit and people's feelings. This is science here. No dicking around. No sugar coating.

[@emilyveneranda6793]

wow like so easy and quick y educational environment time because my life is short life

[@tranjavanadbia123]

I hear you.

[@alexburke1899]

When Lee Berger talks about people basically hiding specimens for years is he taking jabs at that first speaker Tim. (I forget his last name) He mentioned people were asking them to publish for years, so I got the impression they maybe weren’t letting people see their discoveries?

[@arronjerden915]

Just to put the trees in perspective, these fossilized trees are the same size as the giant redwoods in the American west.

[@Aluminata]

That's 26,000 years - and "23" degrees of current axial tilt.

UNFOUNDED ASSERTION

[@missadel20]

Saw one in Washington state!!! True story!! Still wonder what the hell I really saw!!! Maybe it was pareidolia from the tree line!!! Lol

[@missadel20]

Creationism is just crazy!!!! And I'm a religious Jew!!!! People seem to forget the word of G*d says , a day is a thousand years and a thousand years is a day. It also says our time is not his time and his time is not the same as our time. (That second quote I think I paraphrased ) it's an amazing journey finding out about archaic hominids and early humans, but singing the Earth is 5000 years old is rather ridiculous.

[@moodist1er]

Abrahamic religions are poorly plagiarized from a dozen older religions, historic events and people. Poorly plagiarized..

[@damedesmontagnes]

Can't wait until the amphibian relative of humans is revealed. Amphibians came before mammals. But of course the remains would be decomposed especially if the skeletons were softer and less dense.

[@leggonarm9835]

Ichthyostega is the first amphibian we know of.

[@hymnofashes]

I love how angry this guy seems even when he's talking about unemotional topics. I get the feeling he's super-raged for the entire talk.

Oh, if I had a hammer, I'd hammer in the morororning, I'd hammer in the evening, alll day long! I'd hammer on the west side, I'd hammer in east room! I'd hammer on the green house, I'd hammer on the sidewalk! At least until the police came, threw me in the squad car! Stop me if you've heard this, Judge was a meanie! Hammers are trouble kids, and that's the end of that tune.

[@dr.suryanarayanan9256]

2:02 Did this guy just say "1839 Hopper medical district" even though it read 1839 Hooper medical dictionary? WTF??!!

[@RonJohn63]

It's a misspeak. They happen.

[@mitchellkrouth5083]

Be careful you might educate too many people then you’re going to need to answer a bunch of questions.

[@stanleyshannon4408]

Rationality and science may take us into the future, but it will a quite dystopian future indeed if there are no alternative world views or divergent opinions allowed, tolerated or respected. Scientific totalitarianism is in no way preferable to any other flavor of totalitarianism. In fact, it might well be the very worst form of totalitarianism if jerks like that first guy have any say in it.

[@georgeelmerdenbrough6906]

You mean unqualified beliefs ? Why should their influence upon a shared society be tolerated . Scince has brought the world into a much better understanding of the natural universe .Unqualied beliefs have encumbered the world and slowed progress .

[@georgeelmerdenbrough6906]

@SpyingDutchman You me progressivism . Liberals believe in live and let live ...we are liberal ...did you know you can be a liberal republican ? Most people fit the definition but chose to let their views be split by the parties ... Republican conservative or Liberal Democrat and neither honor the part of that choice that mean the most . Do yourself a favor , divorce yourself from politics , its a stacked game against nearly everyone .

[@moodist1er]

Liberals serve the same masters that conservatives do. They're the same thing except for the cake they serve their plebes. Libs still drop bombs on innocent people to steal private profits on behalf of corporations. Socrates knew that you're illiterate plebes organized into mob mentalities, and here we are, a bunch of idiots trying to argue about things they don't understand. You don't possess the critical thought necessary to question anything that your mob leaders haven't told you to question. Stfu, idiots. And religions are a fascist invention for social and economic control over a region. Abrahamic religions are poorly plagiarized from a dozen older religions that were also invented to divide and control the people.

[@davidrapalyea7727]

Very nice cyclical forcing explanation.

[@metralla]

@MQ1611 Grow up!

[@michaelwimberly4509]

I like listening to your stuff, but you can sound abrasive, sir. I was a teacher, in Russia, but you sound way more 'buck'

[@missadel20]

Pissed about stuff huh??? Lol, at least he's passionate!!!🤣😂🤣

[@brokehiselbows]

Quit dodging the issue, you guys. What's the deal with that 2ns & 3rd chromosome thinbg? Just wondering....

[@davidrapalyea7727]

Tuition increases? What, another office of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion? Or simply more staff for lesbian dance studies.

[@BoggWeasel]

Directors need a pay raise so they can look well dressed at fund raisers

[@KipIngram]

This first guy sounds... disturbingly *angry*. Doesn't really play well coming from a supposedly cool, rational person of science. Maybe he'd just had a bad day or something.

[@mitchellkrouth5083]

Don’t worry about a thing your data won’t educate a junkyard rat I admire your fake enthusiasm.

[@georgeelmerdenbrough6906]

How many junkyard rats believe what you teach them ?
