    Ever since he was a graduate student, Neil Shubin has been obsessed with finding fossils of the creature that marked the transition from fish to land dwelling animals. He explains how he scoured maps to find rocks of the right age and type that were accessible at the earth’s surface. This led him to the Canadian arctic where, in 2004, Shubin and his colleagues found Tiktaalik, a fossil of a creature with features found in both fish and tetrapods. Tiktaalik was the link between fish and land animals.
    Speaker Biography:
    Dr. Neil Shubin is an author and Professor in the Department of Organismal Biology and Anatomy and the Committee on Evolutionary Biology at the University of Chicago. Shubin’s research focuses on understanding the evolutionary origins of new anatomical features such as limbs. Shubin is well known for his discovery of Tiktaalik roseae,the 375 million year old fossil link between fish and tetrapods. Shubin is an elected member of the National Academy of Science, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and the American Association for the Advancement of Science.

    We are all connected. Period. I feel bad for all these creatures who are no more with us, but who unknowingly have given us so much of knowledge and last but not the least, a very big thanks to all you good people who do the research and digging and all that to uncover the truth...to put that missing piece.

Someone like yourself whose education in Biology (and also apparently, English) peaked in junior high? The only thing 'debunked' here is the assumption you know what you're talking about.
      Perhaps you can enlighten us with other ignorant opinions on things you are clearly uninformed on. What's your take on the latest financial announcement made by the Fed? Do you think the landing system of the latest Mars rover is efficient? What about the efficacy of _fluvastatin_ compared to other HMG Coenzyme A reductase inhibitors?

    I've got two engineering degrees and probably that is why I think "the informational/factual density" of this video is very low. It's like an essay of a student who only knows reading list but read none of the books.
    "... Neil Shubin has been obsessed with finding fossils of the creature that marked the transition from fish to land dwelling animals ..." not a good indication of impartial approach, critical thinking, intellectual rigor. Evolution is presupposed, facts are interpreted to fit this and finally, conclusions are used to support theory of evolution. Nice circular pattern used for brain-dead viewers.

      @taggartlawfirm 5 років тому +7

      Luzt and no it’s not circular reasoning. It’s more like developing the uniform field theory. We know where we are, we know where we came from, we have a theory. We look in and where we hope to support our theory. They found something, of that correct age and development that supports the existing theory.
      Incidental, circular reasoning is used every day in mathematics as well as tautology. A geometric proof is pure circular reasoning.

    • @taggartlawfirm
      @taggartlawfirm 5 років тому +10

      And my hero, the viewers are not the ones who are “brain dead,”evolution is not a presupposed theory, it is now accepted as scientific fact, being supported both by the fossil record and actual observation. I don’t mean to be unkind, but there are 400 million years worth of well preserved fossils showing the evolution of various species connected by anatomical similarity. Further, more recent fossils or preserved remains from the Pleistocene and Holocene have had recoverable DNA which has left a chemical and genetic record of more recent descent and evolution. I have great respect for engineers, coming from a long line of engineers, but it was the engineers who said powered heavier than air flight was impossible, that iron ships couldn’t float, and that the patent office should be shut down since everything useful had already been invented. It was also engineers who proved all those assertions wrong. Be the second kind of engineer; the kind that aren’t brain dead.
