I Love Phylogeny

I know that sounds nerdy but I do find phylogeny immensely interesting it shows how interrelated we all are to all the other animals, plants, etc. AronRa has yet another great video this time discussing phylogeny. As with all of his videos it has a lot of technical jargon in it but it is phrased in a way that most people should be able to understand.

How do you define a human

AronRa has a new video out defining what exactly a human is. He has previously shown how we are monkeys and apes and this one just helps in the classification more specifically. This is part of his on going Falsifying Phylogeny (see parts 1, 2, 3, and 4) series.

Falsifying Phylogeny IV

This is a really good series by AronRa so I am going to keep posting the series (Part I, Part II, Part III, and Part V).

Falsifying Phylogeny III

So I am going to leave to get on an airplane to head up to the 70th anniversary meeting of the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology in Pittsburgh, PA but I figured I would leave you all with part 3 of AronRa's on going series Falsifying Phylogeny. (Part 1, Part 2, Part 4, and Part 5)



Expect posting to be a little quite for a little while around here.

Falsifying Phylogeny II

The last time I posted about AronRa he made a video talking about what it would take to falsify phylogeny (post here, video here, my other post on him here). This video discusses the scientific laws that are part of the theory of evolution. It was very well done as always so enjoy:

Falsifying Phylogeny

So a complaint that many creationists raise against supporters of evolution is that evolution is a religion because it is not falsifiable. This isn't true and the most common response is all that it would take would be to find a poodle in the Permian (see DonExodus2's response here). Well AronRa (who I have blogged about once before) has posted a new video that puts the response in his typically well vocalized view on the statement.

Stop Politicising our class rooms

AronRa makes some great videos on YouTube and I highly recommend him for any of your evolution needs (if you will). He has also been a strong advocate against the current Texas Board of Education and their politicising of every topic (see here). Well he recently came out with a new video and since I was busy last week only just got to see it today. It is really well done and pretty much points out how much the current board is a failure:
