Awesome episode. What a unique and fascinating topic of discussion Professor Oliver-Antoine's work creates. Is it just me? or does the term "convergent evolution" keep bubbling up to the surface in these discussions? This show just keeps killing it over, and over, and over again! Keep up the incredible work everyone!
Thank you so much Mark and the Evolution Soup team for yet another fascinating interview. Great visuals as always too. Is there a possibility of a follow-up to this ....?
Absolutely fascinating. Excellent guest and love the detail. The audio is a bit wonky, but watching it with the transcript really helps. DNA seems to turning out to be the particle physics of evolutionary biology.
Although all your interviews are great, whatever era your guest covers and whether the subject is more generalized or specified, there are few animals as majestic as the Rhinoceradae family.
I've discovered this channel only recently. What a goldmine! I love the format and the host's minimal approach. The intro is a little too 90's, though. Papyrus, seriously?
I loved this episode. It was one of the most interesting episodes I have seen. I was very glad to hear the topic of DNA evidence being used from the soils. I think this is going to shed a lot of light on many of the mysteries we have about extinction and past environmental conditions. More like this please!
compliments on yr consistent use of the excellent process blueprint you use each time I've seen more about a dozen now, & they've all been first-rate education + entertainment just noticed the "Evolution of Morality" episode for the first time. Looking forward to that... the video that is, a lot less certain I'm looking forward to what's next in how morality is evolving these past few decades, tho' the topic isn't w/o interesting science questions, for example, the time scale for evolutionary change is in units of multiple generations, but modern, video-modeled, morality is influenced@ social norms w/ accelerating rates of change. Do many factors in modern life put current human evolution on an entirely different basis driven by an entirely different set of criteria determining progeny opportunities + success? There are too many moving pieces among the factors for me to venture speculations on the topic; but I'd be very curious to hear what the dozen folk I've already seen you interview have in the way of private speculations on what factors would have what effects along those lines. Looking forward to continuing my tour of this channel's gems. Thank you for the quality.
A part of me is very grateful that I live in the modern day times with modern medicine and dentistry and air conditioning and heating and running water and grocery stores, but part of me is a bit jealous of humans who lived a more natural human lifestyle who ate things like wooly rhinos and mammoths and other truly big megafauna and got a lot of exercise every day and whose air was clean and soils not depleted and without serious pollution and such. Then again after living in the modern era I don't think I could handle the Pleistocene. At least I don't generally have to worry about my neighbors eating me. lol
Where humans responsible for their extinction. FFS the current obsession with "humans are responsible for everything which ever changed on Earth" is getting out of control.
It's a legitimate question considering we know that humans hunted woolly rhinos for food, building material, clothing, etc. And I believe the expert's answer was: 'possibly' and 'a combination human hunting and climate change'.
but not nearly as out of control as the "we're never responsible for the things we are visibly responsible for" epidemic of denial addicts has been for all 7 decades of my life?

Brilliant! Merci beaucoup a vous tous.
C'était très intéressant, mais un peu court. J'ai regardé deux fois!! Many thanks for shairing!👍👍👍👍👍👍
Fascinating! Merci beaucoup :)

Yes Pierre may come back in the New Year to talk about giant sloths. :-)

Another fascinating video. What a great time to be alive scientifically. Just keeps getting better and better...and DNA...wow. 😊

Pity about the poor sound quality. I found it too stressful to listen, being acutely sensitive to rhese things. Will try again with captions only.

Oops! I thought this was going to be a documentary about John McCain, mitch McConnell, Mitt Romney, and George Bush.
Thanks for posting. I had a good laugh! 👍😂
Pakistan was interesting 🤔
