I'm furious over what a young boy discovered. It's something I've always wanted to find and he discovered it with minimal effort.

Episode 375 The world's deepest known whale graveyard has been discovered in the southern Indian Ocean. Located at a depth of seven kilometres, it contains millions of whale bones and has been described as a “deep-sea fossil megasite” and a whale necropolis. Chinese researchers, diving in the crewed Fendouzhe submersible, undertook 32 dives along 1200 kilometres of the seafloor in an area known as the Diamantina Zone. They discovered a vast amount of whale bones of different ages.  Recent carcasses support a thriving ecosystem of invertebrates such as bone eating worms and brittle stars, but there are also fossil bones up to 5 million years old.  Why are the bones collected in this area? Join host Rowan Hooper and reporter James Woodford as they discuss the startling and eerie discovery.To read more about these stories, visit https://www.newscientist.com/ Learn more about your ad choices.

I'm talking about big oil banks.  Their weapons are bombs and bullets, oil-heated buildings, exhaust pipes, methane leaks at fracked gas wells….  Fossil fuel.  And why call them governments? The budget of Chase would make it the 11th largest country, if we called it a country.  And BlackRock's budget is the size of Germany and France combined.  Our humor and music - is it getting through?  Because we don't need more statistics.  We know how bad the fires and floods are.  We gotta find our direct action.  How will we save life?  Can we?  Will we?  Will you?

In this episode of aBlogtoWatch Weekly, the gang reunites for another round of semi-organized chaos, fresh off Couture in Las Vegas and ready to unpack what it all means for the watch industry. Rick, Ariel, Ripley, and David dive into the surprising comeback of fashion watch brands like Fossil, Timex, and Movado, and explore how shifting retail strategies and a changing enthusiast market may be creating a whole new lane for affordable watches to thrive again. They also debate whether brands once dismissed as “mall watch” staples are quietly becoming more enthusiast-focused than anyone expected.The conversation then turns to the new Formex Aria and whether the brand's leap into a much higher price bracket is a natural evolution or a risky stretch. From micro-rotors and movement value to what really justifies a premium price tag, the team does not hold back. Plus, things get wonderfully weird with meteorite dials, over-engineered space watches, and the growing fascination with watches built for life beyond Earth. Throw in some celebrity ambassador chaos and a Ferrari tangent, and you have another delightfully unpredictable episode of aBlogtoWatch Weekly.To check out the ABTW Shop, where you can see our products inspired by our love of Horology:- Shop ABTW - https://store.ablogtowatch.com/To keep updated with everything Superlative, aBlogtoWatch Weekly, and aBlogtoWatch, check us out on:- Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/ablogtowatch/- Website - https://www.ablogtowatch.com/- Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/aBlogtoWatch If you enjoy the show please Subscribe, Rate, and Review!

I sat on the tan, dusty ground of the quarry in north central Iowa, fingers grasping at the shell that lay halfway buried in the chalky clay and limestone. Wiggling it back and forth, I gently pulled it up from the ground that it had been resting in for millions of years. The ridged shell was almost perfectly intact, painting me a detailed picture of what the animal looked like. I had found a brachiopod fossil, a marine invertebrate who used to live in the warm, shallow sea of the Devonian Period, roughly 380 million years ago. As I sat examining my find, I couldn't help but think about how special it is to find something so ancient, to hold the remnants of their life in my hand, and glimpse what life on Earth was like millions of years ago.

Portland Public Schools threw itself a party last week to celebrate breaking ground on the new $460 million dollar Jefferson High School. And The Oregonian dutifully repeated the talking point that the building would be “all electric powered.” Sounds impressive… until you look at the details.Because PPS quietly admitted—right before the ceremony—that the school won't be all electric. Science labs still need natural gas for Bunsen burners. State law still requires diesel backup generators. And the other two high school rebuilds, Cleveland and Ida B. Wells, are in the same boat. So the “all electric” label is more marketing than engineering.But even if PPS could pull it off, it wouldn't change emissions. More than half the natural gas used in Oregon is burned to make electricity. So removing gas lines from the school just means the same gas gets burned somewhere else. Meanwhile, wind and solar provided only about eleven percent of Oregon's electricity last year. Fossil fuels provided at least thirty eight percent. The grid isn't magic.What is real is the cost. PPS's own consultant warned that all electric construction would add at least ten million dollars per school. And when Cascade asked the district for documentation on those added costs, PPS gave us nothing.New York's governor just backed away from its own climate mandate after projecting thousands of dollars in new annual energy costs per family. That's the future PPS is pretending not to see.It's not too late for the board to stop chasing slogans and redirect thirty million dollars toward improvements that actually help students.For Cascade Policy Institute, I'm Naomi Inman.Read more at www.cascadepolicy.org

Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s documented connection to Jeffrey Epstein centers on travel and social proximity, not criminal accusation. Kennedy has acknowledged that he flew on Epstein's private plane twice, describing the trips as family-related and dating them back decades, before Epstein's crimes were publicly known. Later reporting and Epstein-related records also placed “Bobby and Mary” Kennedy in Epstein's contact materials, and a resurfaced photo of Kennedy with Epstein added another layer of scrutiny. Kennedy has denied deeper involvement, has said he was never alone with Epstein, and has publicly called for the release of Epstein-related records. The issue is not that Kennedy has been accused of participating in Epstein's crimes; it is that, like many powerful figures, he had enough proximity to Epstein's world that the public is justified in asking why that network touched so many elite circles.Vivek Ramaswamy's political operation accepted money from Glenn Dubin, the billionaire hedge-fund figure and longtime Jeffrey Epstein associate whose name has repeatedly surfaced in Epstein-related litigation and reporting. According to federal filings cited by Fox News, Dubin gave $100,000 to Ramaswamy's American Exceptionalism PAC in 2023 and another $6,600 directly to Ramaswamy's campaign; after scrutiny, Ramaswamy said the direct campaign money would be donated to anti-trafficking causes, but questions remained over the larger super PAC contribution, with later Ohio Democratic Party claims saying the PAC never returned the $100,000 before folding. Dubin has denied wrongdoing, but the political problem is obvious: a candidate publicly calling for full Epstein transparency still had campaign-aligned money flowing in from one of Epstein's most notorious wealthy associates.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Power plant water and steam chemistry is not a background task. It affects safety, reliability, metallurgy, production, and the decisions plant teams make under pressure. In Part 1 of this conversation, Trace Blackmore, CWT, welcomes Bradley Buecker of SAMCO Technologies and Buecker Associates to examine what happens when familiar assumptions go unchallenged. Safety Comes First in High-Energy Systems Bradley begins with the lesson that has shaped decades of his work: safety. Power and industrial systems involve heat, flow, moving equipment, chemicals, confined spaces, lockout/tagout requirements, and PPE decisions that cannot be treated casually. That safety lens carries directly into the discussion of flow accelerated corrosion, or FAC. Bradley explains how older thinking around removing all oxygen from high-pressure steam generation systems helped shape all-volatile treatment reducing programs. However, research following a catastrophic 1986 feedwater line failure showed that chemistry, flow conditions, pH, temperature, and piping geometry can combine to thin protective oxide layers on carbon steel. "Water is Water" Is a Risky Mindset Trace and Bradley then challenge one of the most expensive assumptions in industrial plants: "water is water." Bradley explains why boiler makeup treatment, softener performance, hardness control, and operating discipline deserve attention before failures appear. Low-pressure and intermediate-pressure boilers may tolerate a range of dissolved solids, but hardness remains a serious threat. Calcium and magnesium can form calcium carbonate scale in hot boiler environments, especially when softeners are poorly maintained, overrun, or bypassed to keep production moving. Bradley shares examples where short-term operating decisions led to tube failures, re-tubing, hydrogen damage, and costly downtime. Layup, Stainless Steel, and Data Before Assumptions The conversation also covers proper layup, oxygen and moisture corrosion, nitrogen capping, dehumidified air, vapor phase corrosion inhibitors, and why idle systems need a plan. Bradley reminds listeners that protecting the boiler is not enough; condensers, low-pressure turbines, and other surfaces also matter. Finally, Bradley discusses stainless steel selection and why 304L or 316L should never be treated as a universal cure for corrosion. Chlorides, deposits, cycling in cooling towers, and pitting risk all need to be evaluated before materials decisions become expensive lessons. His closed cooling water case history reinforces the same principle: do not clean, treat, or specify based on assumption. Get the data first. Good water treatment decisions protect people, equipment, and production. This conversation is a reminder that experience matters, but so does the willingness to ask questions, challenge old habits, and reach out before a problem becomes a failure.

Thank you for taking the financial hit to bring those songs to us. I am already a Patreon, and I had been debating whether or not to renew my year subscription when it runs out in a couple months. This episode has persuaded me to continue to monetarily support this podcast. I also appreciate the Pride Month specials you've done in the past, emphasizing that Celtic music is a space for everyone." Shel O'Toole commented on Patreon: "Good for you Marc, it's important to call out hate and bigotry when we see it.  Governments like to dehumanise those they either don't understand or choose to see as an enemy.  That way they can go to war without feeling any conscience about killing other people.   I believe love is the most powerful universal force and it's love that should be promoted, not fear and hatred." Frank Higgins replied to my email about How do you celebrate Celtic culture through music?: "My wife plays at a session at a pub every week. We've also gone to ireland twice with Kevin Burke on a music tour with a group of people."  

Terry Adair argues the Fermi Paradox has an energy answer. Advanced civilizations require photosynthesis, fossil fuels, and a brutal timeline. We might be alone because the requirements are impossibly rare.The thesis: We got here because of coal, oil, and gas. No civilization reaches our level without hundreds of millions of years of photosynthesis creating stored solar energy. Took 2 billion years to develop, then had to run long enough to create forests that became coal, phytoplankton that became oil.Without photosynthesis, planets never develop complex life. Not enough energy. Uranium can't fuel biology—destroys organic molecules. Only ongoing energy source: sunlight captured through photosynthesis.Cambrian explosion happened because genetics had surplus energy to experiment. Intelligence isn't evolution's goal—DNA only wants to reproduce. Human brain: 2% of body mass, 20% of resting energy. Super expensive. Without advantage, intelligence never evolves.Fossil fuels aren't optional. Can't reach our tech level without them. Renewables can't bootstrap industrial revolution. Nuclear requires already-advanced civilization. Energy ladder is fixed.Fermi answer: Most planets never develop photosynthesis. Those that do might not run it long enough. Those that do might not have accessible fossil fuels when intelligence emerges. Energy filter is brutal.

For as long as we've known, humans have revered ancient trees. We have also destroyed them, especially since the advent of colonialism and fossil fuel capitalism. Historian Jared Farmer reflects on what trees illuminate about our past and potential future. The post Fund Drive Special: Fossil Capitalism and Trees appeared first on KPFA.

Discovered (sort of) by Oregon's first governor, the dry lakebed in south-central Oregon's Lake County is a gold mine of Ice Age fossils, from tiny rodents to wooly mammoths, saber-tooth cats and dire wolves.

A remarkable prehistoric discovery has been made in Ireland, with 330-million-year-old fossil shark teeth uncovered in the Burren in County Clare and a fossil fin spine discovered in Donegal. The finds, which date back to the Carboniferous period when Ireland was covered by a tropical sea, are being described as scientifically significant and are helping researchers piece together the story of ancient marine life. Joining us now to talk about the discoveries, the importance of citizen science, and what these fossils reveal about Ireland's distant past is...

In 1996, a fossil unearthed in China became the first confirmed record of a dinosaur covered in feathers.Before this discovery, some palaeontologists had suggested that dinosaurs might have developed feathers and eventually evolved into modern birds, but the idea remained controversial due to the lack of concrete evidence.Canadian palaeontologist Philip Currie was among the first experts to examine the specimen and recognise it as a feathered dinosaur. He tells Stefania Gozzer about the scientific debate the fossil ignited, as well as the challenges of accessing the specimen at a time when it was still difficult for Western researchers to study fossils in China.Eye-witness accounts brought to life by archive.

Send us a voicemail to mark Let Me Sum Up's upcoming 100th Episode! Your friendly neighbourhood climate and energy podcast of record is about to clock up its 100th episode! And our Global VP for Marketing and Extortion kindly requests Summeruppers to send us a voicemail with your questions for LMSU's intrepid hosts or favourite anecdotes from listening to the pod. All contributions welcome! Subscribe to LMSU's Patreon for Pre-Budget Palooza or Grab our Sector Plan Odyssey Six Pack on its own! This week our Bonus episode includes wild and semi-informed speculation on what to expect for climate and energy in this year's Federal Budget. Run, don't walk, over to www.letmesumup.net and subscribe to our Patreon to check it out. And if all you really wanted from LMSU's BoCo bonanza of late was our six pack of sector plan coverage, you can grab that on its own too.  — In a trend that shows no sign of abating, your intrepid hosts reconvene Global Energy Crisis Corner because, it's been another two weeks and There Is Too Much. Since our last episode global oil prices are back up but local fuel prices are down. Que pasa? Government credit on import deals is subsidising fuel? Lag to global price spikes? Panic hoarding largely passed? A little bit of everything we reckon. So where does this leave us? The crisis doesn't look like it'll be done anytime soon, time to explore efficiencies and longer term pivots to better storage and electrification we reckon!   Our main course Your intrepid hosts think it's not a bad time for countries to be discussing the transition away from fossil fuels, so cue a global summit we prepared earlier! Last week the First Conference on Transitioning Away from Fossil Fuels was held in Santa Marta, Colombia. We unpack where the conference came from (a few COPs in the making!), who was there (lots of constituencies, about half of COP parties pushing for stronger action to phase out fossils), who was not there (the other half of COP countries less keen on faster action, a bunch of business) and what happened! We dive into the Santa Marta Action Repertoire (SMART) Summary, the academic dialogue of the conference, edited and overseen by Friedrich J. Bohn, Jesse Burton, Andrea Cardoso, Frank Jotzo, Sissi Knispel de Acosta, Kjell Kühne, Pao-Yu Oei, Annette Zou. From overcoming economic dependence, to transforming supply and demand and advancing international cooperation and climate diplomacy, ideas abound and some spicy disagreement between your hosts emerges! One more things Tennant's One More Thing is: the IMO Net-Zero Framework is back under discussion! The outcome was continued technical refinement work, with adoption decision not due to be re-opened til October 2026. Frankie's One More Thing is: a hasty convening of Muskovic's Methane Musings to plug the just-published IEA Global Methane Tracker 2026. What does it say? Frankie's not sure but Tennant suggests there are claims Australia's methane fugitives are *way* higher than reported. Luke's One More Thing is: some reportage on the recent high level dialogue hosted by the IEA in Paris with Turkiye and Australia, at which some encouraging comments were made from Turkiye's COP31 President Kurum on support for electrification and energy sovereignty… NOW? And that's it for now, Summerupperers. There is now a one-stop-shop for all your LMSU needs: head to letmesumup.net to support us on Patreon, procure merch, find back episodes, and leave us a voicemail!

The U.S. invasions of Venezuela and Iran are more of the same imperialism in service of oil majors. As the climate crisis makes its presence more urgently felt, fossil fascism dictates a doubling-down on extraction and colonialism, and the vilification of those who oppose or stand in the way of that plan.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What if a brand-new dinosaur species was hiding inside a rock… and scientists didn't even need to open it to find it?In this episode, we explore the discovery of Doolysaurus huhmini, a small plant-eating dinosaur from South Korea that was revealed using advanced CT and X-ray scanning technology. What started as a few visible bones turned into a complete scientific breakthrough when researchers uncovered an entire juvenile dinosaur skeleton hidden inside the fossil.This turkey-sized ornithopod lived during the Cretaceous Period and may have even had fuzzy, feather-like filaments. Even more incredible, this fossil includes rare skull material—making it one of the most important dinosaur discoveries from Korea in years.We'll break down:How scientists discovered a new species without breaking the fossilWhat Doolysaurus huhmini looked like and how it livedWhy this discovery is so important for dinosaur evolutionHow new technology is changing paleontology foreverThis find proves that some of the biggest discoveries in paleontology might already be sitting in rocks—or museum collections—waiting to be revealed.

Part of a colossal fossil collection gathered over Paeroa man Rex Williams' life time is now on display at Te Whare Taonga o Waikato Museum and Gallery. Williams collected thousands and thousands of preserved remains, including fossils from the jurassic age, as a hobby. Gallery curator Jon Primmer spoke to Lisa Owen.

The discovery of tiny pollen grains in rock shows just how inflated the billions of years claimed by evolutionists really are. This discovery, by a creation scientist, has turned those pollen grains into tiny time bombs that continue to damage the theory of evolution.In 1964, Dr. Clifford Burdick devised a new, better way to collect pollen samples, and he used this method to gather samples in the Grand Canyon. These pollen samples, when viewed under the microscope, allow scientists to identify what kinds of trees they came from. The Hakatai Shale, dated by evolutionists at 600 million years old, was among the layers Dr. Burdick examined for pollen. According to evolutionary dating, this layer would not have contained pollen from conifer trees. Conifers supposedly hadn't yet evolved. When conifer pollen was discovered in the samples, evolutionists quickly claimed that they were modern pollen grains that had contaminated the sample.The problem with the evolutionists' explanation is that pollen is resistant to staining. Yet this pollen was stained with red from the shale itself. It must have been there a long time. The experiment was repeated in 1970. Not only were grains of conifer pollen again found, but pollen from oak trees and evidence of other flowering plants were found as well.The discovery of these pollen grains offers scientific evidence that evolution's time scale and story of history is wrong. The evidence does support the accuracy of the Bible that tells us that all life began during the first week of the earth's history some few thousand years ago.Colossians 1:16“For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:”Prayer: I thank You, Lord, for those scientists who work to honor You. Bless them and keep them under your protection as they work in a field that is generally hostile to your Truth.

真的非常感谢大家对《儿童视界周刊》播客的关注和支持！自从2025年9月9日上线以来，在没有任何推广宣传的情况下，我们在喜马拉雅、网易云、小宇宙、荔枝FM等平台的播放量接近50万，并且还从不同的平台收到了很多正向反馈：其实回归初心，一席英语《儿童视界周刊》一直在做的事情就是：带孩子们用英语看到真实的、广阔的世界。当然这半年多的时间里我们也收到过很多中肯的建议和值得思考的反馈，比如：孩子年龄偏小，所以听不懂；节目一次性听不完，是不是可以短一些？节目没有实时字幕很影响理解，有解决办法吗？等等。说实话，我们非常感激大家反馈真实的感受。同时，一席的主创人员也一直在关注这些反馈，并尝试找解决办法；终于，在我们的潜心研究下，《儿童视界周刊》线上视频产品——“《儿童视界周刊》动画片”将在各大平台全面推出了。一、动画版有什么不一样？我们把每个《儿童视界周刊》的新闻标题以“动画”讲故事的形式带大家：1. 用英语了解全球最新热点用孩子感兴趣的故事和可理解的英语，告诉他们接触真实世界中正在发生的大事；比如：2026年2月份引发全球关注的小猴子Punch把毛绒玩具当伙伴；看看往年的中考卷就知道了，这说不定就会出现在哪一年英语考试的阅读理解中；许多家长发现，孩子学了多年英语，读了很多绘本，但词汇量的覆盖面依然相对狭窄。当下，时事热点成为了英语考核的重点，孩子有时看不懂英语阅读理解的词汇、读不懂节选的外刊，而这些和对“英文时事热点材料的忽视”有着极大的关系。近几年中高考有一个非常的明显趋势：英文新闻、外刊类材料在考试中的比例越来越高。比如：2025年上海春考选词填空 → 选自2023年《英国独立报》文章2. 不知不觉掌握热点新闻词汇动画片和音频的最大区别就在于它能结合画面和音频的优势，同时调动孩子的“视觉”和“听觉”来辅助理解动画内容和英文词汇。同时，咱们一席英语动画片的主创人员在最初敲定动画脚本框架时，刻意设计把每个“生词”在不同的语境下进行多次重复，最终达到“看完”=“会了”的效果。比如，在“巴西恐龙化石”相关动画里，我们是这么设计重复fossils这个单词的：除去开头我们会固定用中英双语读标题，Fossil首次出现是在恐龙化石的发现地——旁白: “...a fossil site(一个化石遗址)”。然后，故事的插叙部分通过讲述 “恐龙一家的生活轨迹”生动地说明了“fossil-化石的由来”——由“dinosaur恐龙”到“bones骨头”再到“fossils化石”。最后，研究化石的科学家向我们说：“正是这些fossils-化石让我们认识了这个新物种”。到这里，很多人对fossil这个单词印象已经很深刻了吧，但是还没结束噢！我们在最后还设计了“新闻标题回顾”和“关键词滚动字幕”两个环节，来帮助观众巩固这个单词。所以，大家根本不用担心会忘记。3. 内化地道常用的英语表达自然接触高频表达，在有趣语境中“能听懂，也能跟着说两句”。比如，在“大黄蜂能在水下呼吸”相关动画中，我们把“Bumblebee Queen-大黄蜂蜂后”设定成一个拟人的可爱形象，它用甜美的声音和大家打招呼：“Hey, guys! I'm a Bumblebee Queen. I'm so glad to meet you here...”在测试阶段，有一位成年观众就和我们反馈说：“反复听了很多遍，自己也会忍不住说两句里面的台词。”如果你也喜欢看动画片，那么恭喜你，也能轻松get日常英语表达小技巧。4. 实践当下最科学的语言学习方法说了这么多，其实一席英语这么多年来，不管是线上还是线下的产品，都在坚守一个理念，那就是“二语习得”；每个动画片的画面和声音细节，都渗透着我们对“学习材料有趣”的坚持，“可理解性输入”的贯彻，和通过“大量的听”来实现自然习得的不断实践；而且，经过我们的测试，《儿童视界周刊》的动画片对于各个年龄段的小朋友都很合适，大家普遍反馈：“爱看”、“好看”、“还想看”；大家敢信吗？在测试阶段，我们最小的观众是一个1岁11个月大的宝宝！还有一个两岁左右的宝宝要求妈妈反复播放，都看“上瘾”了；而且据我们了解，有很多成年的大朋友也很喜欢这种动画，毕竟话题都和国际新闻相关，内容易懂还能学英语，大家都说一集下来也能收获不少东西！其实，这正是我们希望看到的，不管是小朋友还是大朋友，都能通过最科学的语言学习路径有效、高效地真正掌握“英语”这门技能，学有所得、学以致用。二、更新方式& 观看平台2026年4月14日周二晚20:00，一席英语《儿童视界周刊》动画片将会在各大平台全面上线，您会在：抖音、Bilibili、快手、小红书、西瓜视频、今日头条、百家号、好看视频、爱奇艺、腾讯视频等视频平台搜索：一席英语动画片，即可观看。一席英语《儿童视界周刊》动画片版更新时间：每周二、三、四、五、六晚20:00。Read the world, expand your view!英语读世界，热点拓视野！让孩子用英语，看懂这个世界。明晚4月14日20:00各大平台不见不散

AP correspondent Charles de Ledesma reports a 300-million-year-old tentacled sea creature has lost its crown as the world's oldest octopus, after scientists found evidence it's not an octopus at all.

Science journalist Humberto Basilio discusses his Scientific American article on a remarkable discovery of thousands of dinosaur footprints in the Italian Alps that could reshape what scientists know about early dinosaurs.

Fossil Consumerism: Energy, Ecology and Everyday Life in the Early Modern Low Countries (Leuven UP, 2026) by Dr. Wout Saelens explores how the homes of ordinary city dwellers sparked our modern dependence on fossil fuels. Drawing on a rich variety of sources, including probate inventories, household manuals, personal journals, medical treatises and contemporary artwork, it reveals how households in the early modern Low Countries embraced peat and coal to fuel new standards of warmth, light and domesticity. Yet, with these new home comforts came rising indoor pollution, intensified and gendered housework and, ultimately, a quiet shift in humanity's relationship with nature. Bridging the histories of environments, material culture and consumption, Fossil Consumerism offers a reinterpretation of the historical roots of global warming, finding these not in the industrial mill, but in the intimate, overlooked spaces of the home. This book is essential reading for anyone interested in the everyday origins of the Anthropocene and is available Open Access. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

How do you separate the facts from the narrative? That can be challenging these days, and the realm of science is no exception. On this ID The Future, enjoy the second half of a conversation with Dr. Casey Luskin that originally aired on the Come Let Us Reason Together Podcast hosted by Lenny Esposito. Casey discusses the growing controversy surrounding Sahelanthropus tchadensis, a fossil often described as one of the earliest human ancestors. But what began as a celebrated evolutionary discovery has now sparked open disagreement among evolutionary scientists themselves. In this concluding segment, Casey will discuss the telling researcher-to-specimen imbalance in the field of paleoanthropology, the nuance between error and deception in human origins narratives, and the broader implications of the controversy around the Sahelanthropus fossil. This is Part 2 of a two-part conversation. Source
