- Erika is a primatologist known on Reddit/UA-cam as "Gutsick Gibbon." She's also an enthusiastic educator about human evolution. Sit back and enjoy this compelling and entertaining conversation.
Erika's channel: / gutsickgibbon
The kids that get Erika as their professor are so lucky.
She deserves every signal boost in the world. 2 of my favorite people! This is great!
And and another of my favorite UA-cam people is watching too! So cool Shannon!
I recently found her channel and she's great. Seth is right that her enthusiasm is definitely contagious. She has a vibe like Bill Nye, where when she starts talking her love for teaching just pours out.
Seth shared this via Facebook "watch the first three minutes and you'll stay for all thirty."
Well, he was right. lol
@@benadams3569 Not only will you stay for all 30, but you'll seek out more of her content as well! Well, I mean, who wouldn't?
Girl you rock also! When you get a chance tell Matt I think he is very awesome and intelligent, you as well.
Gutsick Gibbon will be the best tool in our arsenal for the next 40+ years.
What arsenal? Against whom?
I'm glad to see Gutsick Gibbon out and about. I love her stuff and she's a wonderful breath of fresh air.
Yes it's people like her who will really help defeat religon through education.
Hear hear
She and her family and friends may be primates but mine are human
@@Venator631 even though evolution is a religion, a religion without evidence.
@alienmonkeyplanet There is no verifiable evidence for a soul, the existence of any god, that we live in the spirit world, or that the universe is a conscious entity. All you have are unproven, evidence-free assertions, allegations, and claims. Grow up and join the 21st century.
When I was in evangelical Christian school as a child, I was taught that no [other] animals use tools or are capable of altruism. I’m still learning of more counter examples to this day.
Definitely go check out her channel! I was taught so many false "arguments" in support of creationism, growing up mostly home schooled and in Christian schools.... While I had already rejected theism before fully understanding the falsehoods I was taught, Erika has taken that understanding of the "real" science to a whole new level for me!
As a Christian myself, a primate using a rock to smash something is far from humans using cnc machines :) we are not primates and this theory is NOT fact. That is the lie so many fall for.
@@rocketsurgeon1746 Human's ancestors were literally just using rocks to smash things for hundreds of thousands of years, computers and the like are quite new in the span of how long humans have been around
@@mae8646 allegedly. How do they really know? We have very old brass and iron tools. Our brains cannot have developed far in that amount of time. At least there is no evidence it can
@@rocketsurgeon1746 What is amazing to me about people who call evolution a theory and not a fact is the complete misunderstanding of what a scientific theory is. A scientific theory is comprised of many facts, and is so well supported by evidence that is accepted by the scientific community with the highest level of certainty afforded. In the case of evolution there is so much evidence in DNA, the fossil records, observation of the mechanisms of genetic changes that there is no significant dispute about the core tenets of the theory of evolution. These evolutionary biologists and paleontologists spend their life studying the minutia of the shapes of skulls, relative lengths of the tibia.... just to uncover facts and scientific truths, but some ding dong who works in insurance and watches creationist you tube videos chimes in with his declaration that "Our brains cannot have developed far in that amount of time". I'm flabbergasted that people are so ignorant.
Some years ago I came to the realization that I am much more thrilled and excited to realize that I am a member of a species that resulted from millions and millions of years of evolution than I ever was believing that I'm here because of the whim of some capricious spirit being who needed to create humans in order to have something intelligent that would worship and adore it.
Creatures is incorrect and badly taught
The first chapter of Genesis reads like the Smurfing Singalong album, which claims smurfs were created by "a fine magician" who "got a little lonely, so he made some little friends".
@@wizardsuth that is a lie. Do you feel better when you lie about your opponent instead of the steel man approach? Embarrassing
@@matimus100 "Creatures is incorrect and badly taught" is a fine example of a sentence that makes no sense. i wonder what it is you are trying to say.
@@rocketsurgeon1746 is god the opponent you're talking about here, cos god is thankfully imaginary, but if he weren't he'd be one dumb son of a tapeworm. he can't even protect an apple tree. the whole of human history rests on an apple and god leaves it lying around, and you worship that idiot.
Superb. Seth is a skilled and empathetic interviewer and Erika is such a joy to listen to when she goes off on some enthusiastic tangent. It's just a shame I can only click "like" once.
Yes, Seth is an almost perfect interviewer but in this case, his skills are barely needed to launch each of Erika's bullseye attacks on YEC's arguments.
“Such a joy” is a great description. She’s a great communicator.
I agree , both are great .
@@stacey7406 Yeah, they are both greatly deceived.
@@bobdobbs943 Yes I agree . But I'm not well versed on the science. But I do have common sense . We are Primates.
This guy Cbrown sent me a message that above my pay grade in terms of human evolution.
Would you engage him and enlighten him so that I can learn a little bit more?
Now I have this vision of my definitive, human attribute being my empathy for an allosaurus skeleton at the creation museum.
😂🤣
I would like to suggest a moment of silence for that poor Allosaurus!
@@bibleburner8426 I wanted to stay silent but the vision of the Allosaurus brought tears and emotions :( I just cried out loud.
Midnight AllosionZ - The Detailed Observations and Plight of a Walled-In Sauropod in Brain Dead Neuronoville. An Ongoing Memoir.
If this makes you feel any better, most skeletons in museums are replicas.
I only recently discovered Erika - evolution is something I find fascinating, and I wish I could understand it better. So I'm slowly working my way through her catalogue of videos. Thank you for this video, Seth!
Love your videos Skep.
@@chipsndipz1343 Hey! Thanks! I appreciate that!
Dude, you and she both need more subs! It’s great seeing some positive new voices rise from the ashes of first generation UA-cam atheism.
Videos aren't the best choice when it comes to evolutionary theory and getting a fundamental understanding of it ... reading books are in a way a necessary when it comes to learning about evolution. There are so many incredible books by individuals like Michael Ruse, Ernst Mayr, James T. Costa, Neil Shubin, Francisco Jose Ayala, Rebecca Stott, Carl Zimmer, Jerry A. Coyne, David Quammen, Judith Hooper, William D. Hamilton, George C. Williams, Jan Sapp, George McGhee, J.William Schopf, Richard D. Alexander, David Sloan Williams, Steve Jones, Sean B. Carroll, Stephen Jay Gould, Nils Eldredge, Donald R. Prothero, Adrian Desmond etc...that write phenomenal books concerning Evolutionary theory.
Of course the classical works by Charles Darwin, Alfred Russell Wallace, Thomas Henry Huxley, Joseph Dalton Hooker, Theodosius Dobzhansky, Ernst Haeckel, Julian Huxley, Lynn Margulis, Richard Dawkins etc...also give historical and empirical arguments and beautiful prose...
Highly recommended is one of my favorite all-in-one books concerning Evolutionary theory is by Michael Ruse & Joseph Travis called "Evolution: The First Four Billion Years" with a foreword by legendary Edward O. Wilson (RIP😓) and essays by Michael Benton, Jeffrey L. Bada, Antonio Lazcano, Fransisco J.Ayala, Daniel Rubenstein, Eugenie Scott etc. - almost 1000 pages going from Abiogenesis to Speciation to Transposons to Fossils....a great Tomb of knowledge written by actual specialists, University professors and PhD holders in the field.
@@MetaphorUB I really appreciate that, Metaphor! You're a legend!
What the hell did I just watch? She is so god damn clear, and bursting with knowledge, I don't think I have seen such topic competence since watching Dawkins or Carl Segan even. I think I have food in my fridge older than her. I will now go binge watch her channel. You did good bringing light on this one!
She has the passion, knowledge, and talent to be the next great science communicator should she pursue that.
Go nuts on the videos, but stay away from that food in your fridge (allow it to evolve, it might just walk out on its own).
I just cleaned out our “summer fridge” in the outdoor kitchen, it contained some forgotten stuff from last summer. There was live in there Jim, but not as we know it.
What I really like about Erika is that she responds effectively to the creationists, but she manages to do so without being abusive or obnoxious. People like Aron Ra and Sci Man Dan are right, but they can be obnoxious. Often for good reason! I’d be obnoxious to Kent Hovind too. But Erika is really sweet and very kind, and I think it makes her very effective.
No she’s obnoxious and annoying. And anyone who only debates YEC’s is intellectually weak. Debate Stephen myer or James tour and see how someone like her would fare. Not well
@@tbirdlewis53 Lol, she’s not, she’s the nicest person when debating creationists, but they are so obnoxious, so annoying, so tiring, that she becomes tired too.
Oh and Stephen C. Meyer wished he’d know as much as her about evolution, he’s not even a scientist, he doesn’t know anything about biology, he’s just a pseudo-philosopher.
James Tour is a Synthetic chemist (not a biologist) who doesn’t know sh#% about evolution nor abiogenesis, he pretends to be knowledgeable in areas he has no idea about. Erika would squash him in an debate of evolution, and specially human evolution.
@@tbirdlewis53 - Your opinion about her personality is not a valid criticism of science.
@@tbirdlewis53 Professor Dave dismantled Tour quite well. Why do you think that Erika should have to?
@@tbirdlewis53 Oh, I agree, I agree: I would LOVE to see those debates! 😂😂 - even though I cannot imagine, that even Erika could do a better job on James Tour than Professor Dave already accomplished 🤣 - and nobody debunks Stephen Myer better than Stephen Myer! 🤣🤣🤣
Discovered her through Aron Ra back in early 2020, and she’s always a joy to see and hear.
Yeah I found her though paulogia, she's fantastic. Really great at explaining evolution.
I was interviewed by Aron Ra once. But I found Erika through Paulogia.
#Me too!
The algorythm just today decided to show me her tour of the Ark Encounter, I decided I did kinda feel like laughing at some creationists today, and now here we are.
Oh no aron ra 😂 is he still alive? Shocking. I hope he keeps making content. I want a larger playlist of content to debunk of his. It’s so easy
One of my favorite content creators. love her videos
her intro is great it's easily in the top 10 channel intros.
Not creatures primate
Thank you for drawing attention to Erika! She's awesome, and I learn so much from her videos.
You’re being lied to. Evolution never happened.
We're not creatures primate
Glad to be seeing her everywhere now.
I only recently found Gutsick Gibbon and she's amazing. What have I been doing with my life?
Yep, my favorite I've found in the last year!
Same here. What a brilliant young woman.
She would be a super collaborate with Forrest Valkai!
@@andrewc1205 YES!!!
@@andrewc1205 Yesss!!! I would watch the full three hours movie and yell for more!!
Thanks Seth, I love Erika and her channel should be so much bigger.Erika makes things very easy to understand,especially for a lay person as me.
Yep her channel should be so much bigger, she should be telling so many more people about the lie of evolution and lie to them that evolution is in anyway true.
@@chucklesdarwinwaswrongevol9264 *any way
I know I'm late I just find this so funny
@@chucklesdarwinwaswrongevol9264 more evidence for evolution than against.
I was already a fan of hers.. I believe her sub count is about to go through the roof! Good for her. She deserves it!
I hope so we need more people like her spreading knowledge.
@@Venator631 76fff FYI you ggggggg
Agreed she's great
@@Venator631 “spreading knowledge”. It’s not that hard to see how dumb evolution is.
Ken Conrad yep her sub count deserves to go through the roof, she deserves that kind of reward for lying to people on the internet about evolution.🙄
Me and my Girlfriend went to Chester Zoo (uk) a few years ago. There was a lady there holding a young baby and one of the female orangutans brought her own child over to the window to compare. I was so touched. To throw out a cliché I think I saw the "face of God" during that one zoo trip than in many places my journey has taken me.
Love Erika so much, such enthusiasm
You love really easy we noticed
She's brilliant. Glad to know of her now.
Ya, I'd bring the wood , Kyle .
Where does Erika get the time for all she does? I love this short chat, watch her channel for in depth analysis of the subject.
Mystical extra seconds stolen from the stomach ulcers she gives YECs
@@Thrawnmulus 😂 reply of the day!
I suspect it can be chalked up to her intellect as well as her dedication to the subject matter. She is undoubtedly brilliant.
Two peas in a pod. Seth, you make sense of the everyday world and Erica makes sense of human evolution and you both do it in an engaging, easy to understand way.
So glad to hear a mention of our natural mutualist moral compass! If you NEED religion to be a good person you simply never were a good person, we are hardwired with empathy, sympathy, compassion, etc as a natural byproduct of our pack bonds!
We are also hardwired with jealousy, violence, covetousness… a bunch of less “be sweet” traits They serve an evolutionary purpose. They have served social purposes As social animals, with more cortex available than Hunter-gatherers strictly retire, we create cultures that can be taught and learned. Add to these customs language and then symbolic writing systems, someone will figure out what to do with the violence, jealousy, etc…..most of the time.
Thank you for the entertaining and enlightening conversation!
Absolutely loved this talk! 💖🌟
Way too cool! Two of my favorite UA-cam people on the same show! Yeah!!! Excellent chat; wonderful information always, you two are fantastic!
Thank you for introducing me to her, I had a great time listening to her. I'm heading to her channel now to check her out. I don't know if I have the stomach to listen to the Kent hovind debate though. Every time I hear his voice and blatherings I want to peel my own skin to make him stop.
He's so dishonest and rude, but she mopped the floor with him!
Her channel is amazingly good. Have you ever heard Dr Josh Bowen of Digital Hammurabi due his impression of Kent Hovind’s voice? It is perfect.
@@rhondah1587 No I haven't, but i see he did an interview with Seth a few months ago which I have put into my playlist to listen o while at work tonight.
@@tkat6442 actually no, she got her ass handed to her.
I recently found her on YT, and she's amazing. Thanks for this, Seth.
"contagious enthusiasm" is definitely the way I think of Erika too
She’s amazing ! Great interview !
So happy to see Erika on this channel. She is a fearless warrior for science and truth. Bravo!!!
I also only discovered her work recently. Her work and enthusiasm are awesome!
Shocked/not shocked to see Erika being interviewed by Seth! Glad to see her sphere of influence being boosted by TTA! I love everything about her channel!
Great shout out for Frans de Waal and Robert Sapolsky; definitely worthwhile checking out their works.
Well he was right. I watched three minutes seven seconds and was hooked. Gotta make breakfast but added to watch later!
I was the same. I thought "I was hooked after the first ninety seconds!"
You know what the biggest difference between scientific minded people and creationists is? The former know, when to shut up, when they meet an expert outside their field of expertise. After listening to Erika for maybe 2-3 minutes, I knew, that I would never dare to discuss evolution, biology, anthropology or genetics with her, because she is clearly so far ahead in all of those fields, that the only thing I could do in a talk with her, would be to listen and be thankful to learn. Enter the likes of Ken Howind, who have the hubris and arrogance to actually dare discuss the fields of her absolute expertise, as if they new anything about them.
BTW. The passion with which Erika speaks about the topics is inspiring.
The sheer arrogance and dishonesty of "preachers" is honestly just quite disgusting.
As is the gullibility and stupidity of "gods-believers" in general.
Really? ua-cam.com/video/N1U4DsaMOCQ/v-deo.html she is easily refuted
@@YoungEarthCreation Thank you for volunteering as a prime example for my above hypothesis.
It's so funny, how in my original post I wanted to add, that in the same vain she probably wouldn't be comfortable discussing computer science with me (where I am an expert) and have the exact point proven by the opposite side. Brilliant.
@@christoph4977 I am so glad you found it ironic yet don’t see how bad you look saying not only is she correct but she is so far ahead in all th some things when in reality she is so far behind i have an entire playlist of her rerunning away from any questions pertaining to any of those fields hahahahaha thanks for the good laugh though. I at least know the level of science people in this comment section have
@@YoungEarthCreation Since by definition, as a YEC, you clearly have zero idea about any of those fields, you claiming to be able to see where she is wrong, is again proving my point. This would normally never be my starting point. I reserve this kind of sentiment for YECs, flat earthers and moon landing deniers.
The problem with this "discussion" between the two of us is the futility, since sadly, your position disquialifies you from the get go. Only once you accept the possibility of being wrong, would any discussion with your likes be possible.
Wonderful conversation. Thank you.
Great interview, I enjoy Erica' content. I learn a lot while being entertained from the different topics she puts out there.
Yup, she is very great to talk to
Articulate, brilliant, enthusiastic, voice and speech patterns are mesmerizing, obviously very well educated, and she's cute.
Well done, both of you!
This was an excellent interview. Rare to find a person who is extremely knowledgeable, a solid communicator and enthusiastic. She needs to be on more often
@@botarakutabi1199 I wouldn’t recommend, unless you want to get lied to
Erika's passion is contagious. I thought I would maybe watch a little of the video out of curiosity but instead she drew me in and I was captivated by her knowledge and the way she presents herself. Thank you for introducing her to your followers.
I felt the same way when I first came across her videos. I would never have called biology my favorite or best subject in school, but I had been watching one of her videos and realized I was about an hour into one of her longer videos and happy there was more to go. Her enthusiasm for the subject is infectious and her videos are incredibly informative even if I only understand half of it.
I had an irrational hatred of simians before I found her channel. I actually kind of hated that I was one myself because I find them very gross. Well, I still find them gross, but now I find them cool on top of it. I embrace the grossness of simians.
This was SUCH a great interview! Love you both and smiled the whole time watching!
An extraordinary young woman; more in this world need to find this level of fascination with nature.
I remember watching an orangutan at the zoo trying to reach leaves that were outside the fencing. The size of the mesh meant that it couldn't get its hand through, only a couple of fingers, and the leaves were just out of reach. It went away and came back a minute or so later with a juvenile who reached through with its much thinner arms and grabbed the leaves. It was such a wonderful thing to see.
This might be the single best interview on youtube, gutsick gibbon is immensely compelling to listen to. I originally planned to listen to this as a podcast but the way she dictates is so enthralling thatbi actially stopped what was doing and watched he whole way through. 11/10 and i dont give that score lightly
Ok she was super smart and adorable! I'm gonna go sub now. Ty Seth🥰
Her channel is an absolute gem.... So glad to see so many people discovering her through this interview! Buckle in for quite a few binge watching marathons and more information than you can digest at once! 😂. But the longer I watch her channel, the more I learn and the more sense all the technical jargon makes. You'll find yourself waiting for an opportunity to point out the foramen magnum when in discussion.... 😉
@@amandaw6872 if you consider a liar to be an absolute gem, other than her lies, she does look cute.
@@chucklesdarwinwaswrongevol9264 - I bet your mummy thinks that YOU are a gem, so there's that.....
This video came at the best time!! I have been super into this topic lately and it's just so fascinating. Thank you for sharing!
The most engaging conversation I've seen on UA-cam in a very long time. Thank you!
Enjoyed immensely!
Ty, Seth.
This is a conversation between two of my favorites together. Can’t decide whether it’s great timing or long overdue. Cheers and love to you both. 😊
two of my favs
when Erika embarrassed Kent Hovind she became a superstar
Thanks for having Erika on the show. I’ve seen her on her channel and as a guest on a few others and she is a wonderful ambassador (sometimes warrior) for reason and science.
My two favorite youtubers! Great video
She is amazing. I've just learned so much in half n hour. Subscribed!
Gutsick Gibbon channel is an absolute rabbit hole of learning! Enjoy!
@@amandaw6872 Upchuck Gibbon’s channel is a rabbit hole of lies, evolution doesn’t and never did happen.
Watching this to the end and it genuinely brought a tear to my eye. Erika is such an amazing communicator. When she gives her final closing statement in this interview, my primary thought was this... churches and faith groups would do well by inviting Erika to come speak to their congregations. Rather than inviting the same anti-science evolution deniers to come preach to the choir, they should allow their church members to hear this. She is so gifted in explaining the beauty and splendor of how humans are interrelated to all of nature, and she needs to be seen by more eyes.
A great interview, with a treasure trove of mind blowing information. This is my introduction to Erica's work and it's utterly fascinating. Her fervorus presentation is infectious, making me want to hear and learn more about this incredible field of study. Thanks for introducing me to an engaging researcher. Absolutely loved this!
What a great interview, and now I am aware of Erika and her channel.
More of this Seth, more Erika and and sit-downs with great communicators.
You can be a religious scientist, but you can't use your religion in science which is why I believe they don't overlap.
Isaac Newton lacked the technology to further work on his theory of gravitation and filled the gap with God. Then came Einstein and God's role in that seemed unnecessary.
@@alexandrorocca7142 Indeed. That's the story with just about everything that religion has claimed at some point. Those gaps are shrinking faster and faster and there are less and less places that religious people can insert god into. My hope is that with the rise of the internet and more readily available information, religiosity will slowly shrivel up. It will never be gone completely, but we are trending, globally, towards secular beliefs, albeit fairly slowly.
You don’t think religion and science overlap, and yet you think the evolution religion has anything to do with science?
Religion is part of evolution. Lower species need it to evolve.
Gosh, I'm so glad we have Erika whose passion on the topic inspires and, if I'm being quite honest, occasionally brings me to tears. It really is so special the way we are all connected on the tree of life. I'm far more inspired by the story of our evolution and connection to life than by the biblical idea of us being specially created.
This was just great. I love how smart Ericka is. The topic is so interesting. Thank you Seth for having her on. One of the best guest you've had on the show. Wow!! 👍🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I too recently discovered Erika. About two weeks ago. And to have Seth, my long time UA-cam favorite, interview her, is such a nice surprise. 🤗
“We are like them.” on chimpanzees. That’s exactly how I put it when talking about chimpanzees in my visitor engagement volunteer role at Edinburgh Zoo here in Scotland! I have no formal qualifications but what I do have is autism and a passionate interest in the natural world, the environment and evolution. We are part of that natural world and advances in related sciences just show how great a part the natural world plays in all our lives.
@Simon McGlary
On the bright side, chimps don't play the bagpipes :) Thanks for your interest and contribution
@@VaughanMcCue so there is a silver lining🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@VaughanMcCue Bet they could will be taught to...
@@robertmiller9735
I am sure you are correct as I became competent. I should not be so disrespectful to the pipes. I actually love them. I live in a block of 30 units, and we had a lot of problems at night because visitors were parking in our limited bays.
After a week of practising, around 2A.M., the car parks became remarkably empty. Someone might explain the correlation/causation conundrum because I am sure there is a connection between the beautiful melody that emanates and car park bays.
@@VaughanMcCue I don't have a strong opinion either way about bagpipe music (though of course any loud music played at 2 a.m. is annoying...). There are music styles I can't stand (though in the case of country, it's more the repellent culture around it than the music itself. I'm American, and that might not translate culturally).
I never found funny the "everybody hates bagpipes and mimes" joke anyway, nor the cat vs. dog war either.
My favorite is "If we came from monkeys, how come there are still monkeys?"
Brilliant. Love listening to Erica. So knowledgeable. 💜
Gutsick Gibbon kicks ass! Love her ruthless takedowns of creationist pseudoscience!
A binge worthy set of videos - and enough of them for several different binges, and I learn new things with every one!
Hmm... last I checked, evolutionist were pushing that "Junk DNA" was useless. Creationist pushed for a further investigation and we discovered that evolutionist, even the top evolutionist, were dead wrong. Ironically, it's still referred to as junk DNA despite that no longer being the case. Evolutionist were also wrong about ERVs (endogenous retro viruses), vestigial organs, etc. Evolutionist have a long history of being wrong because all of their assumptions are based on a broken model.
@@Programm4r " Evolutionist were also wrong about EVRS (endogenous retro viruses), vestigial organs, etc" Citation? Don't bother citing fallacious creationist sources.
@@69eddieD I don’t have to cite creationists. I can just point out evolutionists mistakes. Your earth ages faster than I do lol
I musta missed that
Oh, yay! Gutsick Gibbon! I adore Erika and what she does - she is so enthusiastic, and is so good at explaining things in such an easy way to understand! She shows us how to find, look over, read, and evaluate studies, too, which I really appreciate! ❤❤
She is one of a few excellent channels that I think should have a _much larger_ subscription count (Dapper Dinosaur, for example, and there's Kyle Hill, Genetically Modified Skeptic, Truth Hurts, Flerfspective, and so many more that are such really good channels, and have criminally low subscription numbers! I keep hoping that, as she shows up on channels like this and AronRa, she gets more and more people to find their way to her channel, and subscribe. 🤞🤞
So you adore her for lying to people that evolution has evidence?
Thank you for posting this interview. I’ll definitely be checking out her channel. She is very well versed in evolution! Excellent!
And comes from a fundamental creationist background to boot... Maybe it's just me, but I feel like that gives her approach even more context when debunking non-scientific views like YEC.
Yep just like all the other evolutionists, she does have a good imagination.
One of the most entertaining, informative and educational discussions it has been my pleasure to watch. Thank you.
Excellent. Brilliant, cogent and necessary interview. Well done, both of you. 👏👏👏💥
I also only recently discovered Erika, it was on a Pagan Podcast with Wolf the Red, and Ocean Keltoi! She’s soooo damn cool!
great video and great presenter (Erika). And, great impression (your costume) of Jordan Peterson, Seth.
Erika, this is brilliant. I especially enjoying seeing the empathy that you express for our ape cousins.
And fortuitous as you covered the points that I've been (painfully) trying to convey to some former coreligionists. I hope I can get them to watch this.
Ericka, you rock!!!!! Please keep up the great work and know you are reaching and educating so many people to not only know better but to be better with your message that we are all related and come from a common ancestor. I wish teachers around the country will show your videos to educate our youth.
If she was educating then she would give intelligent design/ creation equal time.
So glad you two discovered each other and were able to collaborate. I regret that I have but one primate thumbs up to give to this fantastic video.
She *is* quite amazing, on a level all her own! I've been watching her channel now for a few months. Her intelligence, wit, sense of humor and teaching skills are truly _off the chart._ She is definitely *_"going places"!_*
Wow, she is amazing. I am glad you had her on. I have been following her from the beginning. Thanks for the exposure. She deserves it.
Wow what a incredible energy… excitement for the knowledge. One of the best interviews I saw recently if not the best . Thank you !
Love Erika’s channel her enthusiasm is infectious. Erika and Aron Ra love of taxonomy and pursuit of the knowledge in the sciences .
Seth, I would give this a second thumbs up if I could.
Why stop stop at 2 👍why not 9999👍
Thank you Seth for introducing Erika and her channel. Grateful for the knowledge gained.
When I first came across Gutsick Gibbon, Erika's enthusiasm for the subject had me watching hours of biology discussions without even realizing how much time had passed. I'm so glad you found her and helped promote her. I would need flashcards to memorize all the classification names she throws around like they're friends she was hanging out with over the weekend and I've seen her go WAY too deep into some subjects for me to understand, but she can effectively "dumb it down" when she wants to, so even a creationist can get it (I'm not that bad though).
Love her! She's so knowledgeable and enthusiastic about her work. Love watching her dunk on YEC especially with the heat problem. Plus she's just so cute.
More like cringey and annoying
@@tbirdlewis53 Awww - there you go again confusing the computerscreen with your bedroom mirror! Put on your glasses, Mr. Magoo!
@@tbirdlewis53 Knowledge and competence are "cringey and annoying" to you? Weird.
@@tbirdlewis53 it's a shame that her personality doesn't suit your taste, as she has so much knowledge and is an excellent communicator for presenting it. However, not everyone is going to learn well from the same personality/presentation style, and I do sincerely hope that you have found other equally educated communicators to learn from instead, if Erika doesn't "work" for you.
Sorry I hate to bust your bubble but this whole notion that humans share a common ancestor with Chimps is bogus And i will give you many reasons why creationist do not believe that we are related to chimps. And here's what Ericka is not telling you .
1. Their simply is not enough time to get enough beneficial mutations to evolve a pink anus ass scratching dumb ape like primate into a spacecraft building human.
2. Their have been human footprints found in rocks that would be millions of years too early for human. That proves humans could not evolve for stupid chimps.
3. The idea of transitional fossils from chimp to human is laughable at best . Paleontologist find bones in mixed bone beds and somehow they designate certain bones to chimps or humans origin based on what story they want to tell.
4. Their are no Lack of evolutionary environment pressure that would evolve chimplike creatures into humans . (If you know of any please inform me . I already asked Ericks and she never responded )
5. Their is a extremely wide gap in the level of intelligence between chimps and humans. If evolution was this ongoing process of change., Why aren't their any chimps that has evolved different levels of intelligence? Where are the sub level intelligent chimps compare to human ? Where are the transitional in the form of intelligence? Did the all chimps somehow reach a plateau but the humans just kept evolving ?
6. Not only is their not a lack of transitional. Their are mechanisms like chaperone proteins that doesn't allow protein a chance to evolve past a certain point . If a protein reaches a certain limit of its intended shape. The Chaperone proteins chops up the protein for energy for the cell.
7 . Then editing enzymes corrects mistakes from cell division. This further stop the creature from evolving into something completely different. Not only that , it speaks to a forward thinking mechanism from a designer.
8.And every transitional chimp that is proposes to be a transitional. Each one of the skeleton is either poorly preserved . ( missing adjoining bones or heavily fragmented)
These skeletons are they ones evolutionary paleontologist insert "artistic licensing" to tell the store . But in contrast , the skeleton that are highly preserved and relatively complete. These skeletons are deemed clearly chimp or human.
Somin summery . Their have no mechanisms to evolve a chimp into a human. You have no transitions. And their no variation in levels of intelligence concerning chimp. All of them are basically stupid vs humans.
They are all arboreal tree swing ass scratching stupid chimps that take massive dumps in the woods without even thinking about wiping their asses.
This make me wonder why anyone could believe that human and chimps evolve from a common ancestor .
One build spacecraft, One spent 50% of their day scratching their ass while swinging in trees .
That's Quite a stark contrast
Dont you think ?
She is awesome! Thanks for the introduction.
First time I've seen Erika and I've subscribed to her channel - thank you, Seth, for this awesome video and thank you to Erika for an awesome interview!
Fantastic interview/conversation. So much useful information.
She's the best!
Seth has had some great interviews...this one might be the best! Such enthusiasm, intelligence, knowledge - well done
One of the best conversations I've seen in years. Thank you so much for sharing this insight and knowledge.
Fantastic interview. She's amazing! Going to check out her channel......NOW!
Her take on religious scientists was well said. I completely agree. They are starting with a conclusion so it’s important for them to not let their science and faith overlap. But, as long as they don’t, it’s fine if they want to be religious. Just like she said.
i love your inner fish, so does my daughter. been trying to get my coworker to watch it as well. his part on what cancer is really got me thinking
About to go check that one out myself!
Did you get a good laugh from it. I got a good laugh from the title where it says “meet the evolutionary ancestors you knew you never had”😂
@@chucklesdarwinwaswrongevol9264 - I have been enjoying all your spoof posts.
#FaithlessForum ; It was wonderful seeing you both there. Erika, meeting you and Lloyd in person was definitely the highlights for me.
What a great interview. Erika is just amazing, her passion for her field makes everything she shares so fascinating.
Being offended at the idea of being an Ape, or having a monkey as an ancestor is the same thing as being offended at the idea of being a Carbon based life form.
Being angry that you have Hydrogen, Oxygen, iron, calcium, sodium etc etc in you and being made of those atoms/elements.
I wonder if Creationists and people opposed to evolution would still be angry if we said we were Birds... supposing we had beaks, feathers, wings, could fly etc etc. Would they still have a problem? I thin they still might.
Creationist would definitly take issue if you said we were birds their mindset is weird.
Read the original comment for context
If its the same, then you should expect same response. But its not.
I don’t think it’s offensive to call humans apes, but laughably stupid if you can’t the difference between humans and and apes.
@alienmonkeyplanet There is no verifiable evidence for a soul, the existence of any god, that we live in the spirit world, or that the universe is a conscious entity. All you have are unproven, evidence-free assertions, allegations, and claims. Grow up and join the 21st century.
I love GG (Erika) and just stumbled across her like six weeks ago; rare case of the UA-cam recommendation’s working. Seth is right that she is so excitable in her teaching of primatology and I love it. She is the the type of teacher who gets kids excited about learning and creates more deGrasse Tyson and Sagan’s and less Kent Hovinds!
If you want to watch her get wreaked in debate that she never posts on her channel and hides from view, come watch :) I posted a marathon 1 month ago where she tried debating people on our team, she lost every single one and never even remotely posted them on her channel like she does others that are less informed.
@@YoungEarthCreation how about you post the link here, and we can all analyse your supposed takedown of Erica...
A takedown I suspect never actually happened, because all YECs have are lies, distortions, mischaracterisations and misconceptions about not just evolution or biology, but science as a whole!
@@evorock no creationists say what your evolution religion teaches , and you guys deny it out of embarrassment because it’s so dumb. Your name is fitting by the way, since the evolution religion says life came from rocks all by itself.
@@YoungEarthCreation - Ms Gibbon has thoroughly debunked your flimsy talking points many times over. You never learn nor even answer her pointed questions. It seems that you are unable to meet Erika's education or her nimble mind. She brings you receipts. You bluster and pontificate about nothing in return.
Absolutely brilliant !, so good to hear it all explained so well...gives me more factual info to use in debates etc.
I love seeing this side of Erika! Her enthusiasm and gusto for human evolution is contagious.
