Serial Number Video | Overview Video What's the difference?
After paying his dues with Humble Pie and years of solo touring and recording in the late '60s and '70s, young British guitar star Peter Frampton hit it huge in 1976 with the release of Frampton Comes Alive, the biggest selling live album of all time. And as every one of the more than 10 million fans who bought it in its first year of release alone could tell you, you only needed to fold down that double-album cover to see Frampton wailing on a black, three-pickup Les Paul Custom. Players by the score ran out in search of their own version of that Les Paul Custom, the instrument in Frampton's hands widely assumed to be an original 1960 model, but its origins, and its journey to the star's hands (and out of them once again), reveal some unusual twists and turns. During the first night of a three-night stand in 1970 opening for the Grateful Dead at the Fillmore West in San Francisco while still playing with Humble Pie, Frampton was having trouble with howling feedback from his semi-hollowbody guitar on the big stage. A fan named Mark Mariana approached him after his set on the second night, said he'd noticed the hassles the guitarist was having, and provided a solution: if he wanted to, Frampton could play Mariana's solidbody Les Paul Custom for the third night at the Fillmore. He delivered the instrument, which looked for all the world like a 1960 Custom, but was in fact a 1954 Custom freshly back from the Gibson factory, where it had been given a new coat of ebony black lacquer, new frets, and three humbucking pickups to update it to contemporary specs. Frampton bonded with the guitar instantly. It not only cured his feedback problems for the closing night of the run, it proved the most tuneful, expressive guitar Frampton had ever played. When he offered to buy it after the set, Mariana said that, no, he wouldn't sell it—he would give it to Frampton. And through that unprecedented act of generosity, a re-born 1954 Les Paul Custom became one of the most iconic guitars of the decade.
Sadly, Frampton's original Comes Alive Les Paul Custom was lost in 1980 when a cargo plane crashed in Venezuela. But Gibson's Custom Shop raised it from the ashes in the form of the Peter Frampton Les Paul, a guitar crafted in the image of the 1954/1960 Les Paul Custom, but with a few new twists to the artists specifications. Wearing a high-gloss ebony black "black beauty" finish, gold-plated hardware, multi-ply body and headstock binding, and the decorative mother-of-pearl "split-diamond" headstock inlay and block position markers in its Richlite fingerboard, the Peter Frampton Les Paul is the spitting image of the original. At Frampton's request, however, it benefits from a slim-carved neck profile for optimum speed, and a weight-relieved mahogany body and carved solid maple top that both lighten the load and enhance the tone. A classic Tune-o-matic bridge and stopbar tailpiece pairing keep things tight, resonant and sustaining, while three open-coil humbucking pickups of Frampton's own specification—a 57 Classic in the neck position, a 57 Classic Plus in the middle, and a 500T in the bridge—provide all the tones, from sultry to sizzling, that this virtuoso guitarist is known for. As a high-caliber instrument, the Peter Frampton Les Paul naturally comes with a Custom Shop hardshell case, along with a Certificate of Authenticity and Gibson's Limited Lifetime Warranty.

Some kids love to watch a video over and over so even a 30-minute show can get you 90 miles down the road. Or a feature-length film will be golden.
Sure a glowing screen isn't the best thing for Junior but this is a tip you can be sure even overachiever parents use.
The next tip involves some basic human needs ...
No. 3: Make frequent stops
It is strictly forbidden by the international law of car trips to go to the bathroom in a small container inside your vehicle. Do not turn your ride into a restroom on wheels. Too gross.
Get to the nearest rest stop or gas station, where you can fill up the gas tank and bend your body out of its sitting shape.
Road-tripping is a good time to indulge in some snacks you might otherwise avoid. If you never take the kids for fast food, maybe let them have a burger and fries on the road or grab a candy bar.
Or keep it healthy by bringing some carrot sticks and sandwiches, but stop for a cold bottle of water or something to drink.
Sure you can eat and drink in the car, but it's fun to get a yummy snack or a fresh drink when you're stopped anyway.

Pets on Wheels Hopes To Help Grieving Newtown
The volunteer group hopes its animals will bring some solace to those affected by the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre.
Volunteers from Pets on Wheels, a Baltimore area nonprofit that provides therapy visits with pets, will be heading to Connecticut Friday to help those affected by the school shooting in Newtown.
"The dogs are a great outlet for people and children, and we hope that they can bring them some comfort," said Barb Wasaieicz, a Pets on Wheels volunteer.
The caravan of two vans and passenger cars will be leaving the Baltimore area and headed for Newtown at 3 a.m. Friday and will return the same day.
According to the group's website, Pets on Wheels was founded in 1982 by Dr. Frank Folke Furstenberg, a retired Sinai physician, to study the effect of animal visits on "shut-ins."
"Visits are most often to nursing homes; however, assisted living communities and facilities for the physically and mentally challenged are also recipients of our visits. Recently veterans' hospitals, programs for the homeless and children at risk of home out placement have also been added to our visits," according to the group's website.

Bellevue Hospital, you might have heard, once had a very notorious psychiatric ward. But those horror stories have only distracted from the rather breathtaking -- and heart-breaking -- history of this historic institution, a lifeline not only for the sick, but for the poor, the incarcerated, the abandoned -- even the dead! The hospital traces its origins to a six-bed almshouse that once sat near the location of New York City Hall today. Despite its humble and (to the modern eye) confusing original purposes, the almshouse was miles better than the barbaric medical procedures of early New York, courtesy the ominous sounding 'barber-surgeons'. A series of yellow fever epidemics moved care for the sick to a former mansion called Belle Vue near Murray Hill -- and, in fact, with a strong connection to Murray himself! Soon the institution fulfilled a variety of roles and in rather ghastly conditions, from 'pest house' to execution ground, from a Pathological Museum to New York's first city morgue. A great many medical advances came from Bellevue, not least of which the origins of the modern ambulance. But some of that progress has been obscured by the reputation of the Bellevue Psychiatric Hospital which opened in 1931 and 'hosted' a variety of famous people with disturbing issues. And in the 1980s, Bellevue would take on another grim role -- during the most distressing years of the AIDS crisis. |

If you had told 1840s religious leader William Muhlenberg that his innovative new Church of the Holy Communion, designed by renown architect Richard Upjohn, would become the glittering seat of drugs and debauchery 150 years later, he might have burned it down then and there. But thankfully, this lovely building is still with us, proving to be one of the most flexible examples of building use in New York City history. This unusual tale begins with the captivating relationship between Muhlenberg (the grandson of America's first Speaker of the House) and Anna Ayres, the First Sister in charge of the Sisterhood of the Holy Communion. The two of them helped create one of New York's great hospital centers. But was something else going on between them? The Church of the Holy Communion survives the elevated railroad and the fashionable stores of Ladies Mile, and it weathers the various fortunes of the neighborhood. When it is finally sold and deconsecrated, it briefly houses an intellectual collective and a drug rehabilitation center before being bought by Canadian club impresario Peter Gatien, who turns it into an iconic and sacrilegious symbol of New York nightlife. And today, it makes for a truly bizarre retail experience. Warning: This episode might give you whiplash. www.boweryboyspodcast.com

Here's the story of how two very big cities and a whole bunch of small towns and villages -- completely different in nature, from farmland to skyscraper -- became the greatest city in the world. This is the tale of Greater New York, the forming of the five boroughs into one metropolis, a consolidation of massive civic interests which became official on January 1, 1898. But this is not a story of interested parties, united in a common goal. In fact, Manhattan (comprising, with some areas north of the Harlem River, the city of New York) was in a bit of a battle with anti-consolidation forces, mostly in Brooklyn, who saw the merging of two biggest cities in America as the end of the noble autonomy for that former Dutch city on the western shore of Long Island. You'll be stunned to hear how easily it could have all fallen apart! In this podcast is the story of Manhattan, Brooklyn, the Bronx, Queens and Staten Island (or Richmond, if you will) and their journey to become one. And how, rather recently in fact, one of those boroughs would grow uncomfortable with the arrangement. www.boweryboyspodcast.com

A long, long time ago in New York -- in the 1730s, back when the city was a holding of the British, with a little over 10,000 inhabitants -- a German printer named John Peter Zenger decided to print a four-page newspaper called the New York Weekly Journal. This is pretty remarkable in itself, as there was only one other newspaper in town called the New York Gazette, an organ of the British crown and the governor of the colony. (Equally remarkable: Benjamin Franklin almost worked there!) But Zenger's paper would call to question the actions of that governor, a virtual despot named William Cosby, and in so doing, set in motion an historic trial that marked a triumph for liberty and modern democratic rights, including freedom of the press and the power of jury nullification. This entire story takes place in lower Manhattan, and most of it on a couple floors of old New York City Hall at Wall Street and Nassau Street. Many years later, this spot would see the first American government and the inauguration of George Washington. But many could argue that the trial that occurs here on August 4, 1735, is equally important to the causes of democracy and a free press. And somehow, we manage to fit Kim Kardashian into this. www.boweryboyspodcast.com

This year is the 125th anniversary of one of the worst storms to ever wreck havoc upon New York City, the now-legendary mix of wind and snow called the Great Blizzard of 1888. Its memory was again conjured up a few months ago as people struggled to compare Hurricane Sandy with some devastating event in New York's past. And indeed, the Blizzard and Sandy have several disturbing similarities. But the battering snow-hurricane of 1888, with freezing temperatures and drifts three stories high, was made worse by the condition of New York's transportation and communication systems, all unprepared for 36 hours of continual snow and wind. The storm struck in the early hours of Monday, and so thousands were attempting to make their way to work. It would be the worst commute in New York City history! Fallen telephone and telegraph poles became a hidden threat under the quickly accumulating drifts. Elevated trains were frozen in place, their passengers unable to get out for hours. Many died simply trying to make their way back home on foot, including Roscoe Conkling, a power broker of New York's Republican Party. But there were moments of amusement too. Saloons thrived, and actors trudged through to the snow in time for their performances, And for P.T. Barnum, the show must always go on! |

The Armory Show of 1913 was the mainstream debut of modernist art -- both European and American -- to New York City audiences. Galleries had previously devoted themselves to the great European masters, antiquity and American landscapes as a way to influence the taste of a growing city. But even though vanguards like Alfred Stieglitz debuted artists like Picasso and Cezanne into his Fifth Avenue gallery, those names were still barely known to the average New Yorker.
The Armory Show, located at the 69th Regiment Armory on Lexington Avenue, changed all that, but not without controversy. When the exhibition debuted on February 17, 1913, writers and art critics exploded in shock and outrage.
This is the story of an important moment in American art history, but also a moment in New York City pop culture, an event that shook society and challenged its beliefs about taste and beauty -- not a small thing in the waning years of the Gilded Age.

Welcome to the secret history of Herald Square, New York City's second favorite intersection -- after Times Square, of course, just a few blocks north. But we think you may find this intersection at 34th Street, Sixth Avenue and Broadway perhaps even more interesting. This is a tale of the Tenderloin, an entertainment and vice district which dominated the west side of midtown Manhattan in the late 19th century, and how it abutted the great cultural institutions that soon became attracted to Herald Square, from cheap aquariums to New York's greatest opera house. By the 1890s, newspapers arrived to the area, including the one that gives Herald Square its name. A remnant of the New York Herald Building still sits in Herald Square and is the cause of some serious conspiracy. (Especially if you're afraid of owls!) But the Herald wasn't the only publication that got its start here; in fact, one of America's most famous magazines began in a curious office-slash-bachelor apartment facility just close by. The department stores came at the start of the 20th century, and we bring you the tales of Macys, Saks and Gimbels, not to mention their later incarnations, the Herald Center and the Manhattan Mall. ALSO: Where on 32nd Street were crazy parties featuring a who's who of New York's greatest freak show performers? Where did a silent fim stunt man meet his end? And where in New York can you get the best in Korean pop music? |

The bicycle has always seemed like a slightly awkward form of transportation in big cities, but in fact, it's reliable, convenient, clean and -- believe it or not -- popular in New York City for almost 200 years. The original two-wheeled conveyance was the velocipede or dandy horse which debuted in New York in 1819. After the Civil War, an improved velocipede dazzled the likes of Henry Ward Beecher and became a frequent companion of carriages and streetcars on the streets of New York. Sporting men, meanwhile, took to the expensive high-wheeler.
But it was during the 1890s when New Yorkers really pined for the bicycle. It liberated women, inspired music and questioned Victorian morality. Casual riders made Central Park and Riverside Drive their home, while professionals took to the velodrome of Madison Square Garden. And in Brooklyn, riders delighted in New York's first bike path.
ALSO: What did Robert Moses think of the bicycle?

Our sixth annual ghost story podcast takes a little twist this time around. Oh sure, we have two of New York's most FAMOUS horror stories in our first part, beginning with a spirited sailor named Mickey who haunted a classic structure on the Lower West Side. Today's it's the Ear Inn, where you better watch your drink. Then we switch to a Colonial-era tale of obsession and entrapment in old Flatbush, the tale of Melrose Hall with its secret passages, stairwells and dungeons. But in the second half, we observe New York's spiritualism craze of the early 20th century through two frightening faceoffs. In the first, its the madame of the Ouija board, Pearl Curran, and her ghostly companion Patience Worth vs. one of New York's original ghostbusters, the adventurer and conjurer Joseph Rinn. And in the final tale, Tom explores the secrets of Harry Houdini and what happens when a close confidante -- in this case, the noted author Sir Arthur Conan Doyle -- believes his powers are of a supernatural variety. Featuring our annual ghost-story dramatics, a few sound effects, and the surprising haunted history of Carnegie Hall. www.boweryboyspodcast.com |

6. | American Football | ||
A game where a 300+ lb guy (no not all of them) can run a 4.4 40 hit and kill anybody stupid enough not to wear pads.
It's no better than rugby, defianately no worse. It's totally different is all. Footbally players hit harder mainly because they are on average bigger faster stronger and meaner than those in any other impact sport. We played american football in germany, taught some of the locals how to play and by the end of the day they were a wreck and realized why pads are needed, in American football. We educated them, most euros are too enamored with themselves to learn. They'd rather assume everything. ..I will grant all the breaks are boring, even to me as a rabid football fan. And to the aussies calling american football players and fans fat and such. I'd like to congratulae your nation on surpassing the USofA in fatassedness. You are now #1 at something.
Kudos to you. |
1. | American Football | ||
American football and rugby are both physically demanding sports... I've played both... The styles of play are much different though... Rugby is about pure tackling and ball movement as opposed to football which is about impact in addition to tackling skill and quick linear movement down field. The speed and impact in American football is the reason for the pads (without them, the amount of spinal cord and brain injuries would be horriffic)... With regard to the breaks between plays in football, there's a purpose other than giving the big guys on the lines a break (and by big, I mean 300+ pounds...). American football is a game of set plays and tends to get very complex with all the terminology and the amount of plays you have to memorize (most coaches script anywhere from 150 to 250 possible plays per game). Granted, rugby is more fast paced and the plays are more oriented to the flow of the game which makes it pretty exciting to watch and challenging to play. As far as I'm concerned, they're both great sports with their own challenges. Would like to get your ear ripped off in a scrum or have Roy Williams crush you coming over the middle playing American football?!?
2. | American Football | ||
Let me tell you something: pads ain't going to help you when you have a 250 lb guy taking a helmet-shoulder shot at your knee. If anything the helmet/shoulder pads are more of a weapon. Players hit harder when they wear pads. American Football is rough, Rugby is rough. They're different - get over it.
3. | American Football | ||
A sport played in the U.S. by huge, ripped dudes (and a few extremely fat ones), which apparently makes Europeans want to murder even more than a well-played soccer match does. Fan 1: Hey! Did you have a good time at the American Football game?
Fan 2: Hells yeah. The Lions actually won, if you can believe it. Fan 1: Did any fans or refs get murdered by a seething mob after the game? Fan 2: No... Why do you ask? |
4. | american football | ||
To all thse idiots going on about pansy cunt American football players and shit, i bet uve never even played the damn game! I'm aussie and i prefer gridiron. all this shit about boneheaded non tactical game is crap its the most intense and strategic game in existense. to all those who say pads are for pussies...think about this and look this bloke up...DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW HARD RAY LEWIS HITS?? ps. i play in australia so im not just shootin my mouth "American football is the most intense, crazy and fun sport in existence!"
5. | american football | ||
American football is a highly intense game much like rugby but with pads. It requires an immense amount of stamina and memorization for the plays. Although many people think its a "soft" version of rugby ill tell you what. . . i'd rather get hit by a guy without pads then a guy with pads 'nuff said. now i gotta memorize and execute 150 different plays and 5 different formations. . .fuck
7. | American Football | ||
American Football originates from the English sport of Rugby. It is played between two teams on a field of 100 yards (120 total including the end zones) with a brown oval shaped object called a Football. A team's objective is to get it's offense on the field as often as possible (to score) and keep the opponent's offense off the field when possible, and limit their performance when they are on. Team's score by driving the ball down the field by running and passing. The most common form of scoring is the touchdown (six points), followed by field goals (3), and (rarely) safeties (2). Immediately following the scoring of a touchdown the scoring team is given the option of performing a two-point conversion (worth 2 points) or the point-after-touchdown (PAT, 1 point). Field goals and PATs are scored by kicking the Football between a tall goal post located behind the end zone. Professional and collegiate games last full 60-minutes while high school games normally run at 48. It's important to note that due to timeouts and play huddling Football games normally last between 3 and 4 hours.
Critics (normally foreign) seek to compare the playing style of American Football to Rugby. This is inaccurate, however. They are two different sports. While in Football certain positions require significantly larger stature and others do not, virtually all positions in Rugby require relatively large size. Linebackers, Tight Ends, Full Backs and (larger) Quarterbacks are often suitable for Rug... |

Please welcome Virna DePaul!
V-Day Is Me-Day.
Aren't names an interesting thing? People call me "Sue" sometimes and I'm like, "Who's Sue?" It's a legitimate nickname for Susan, but doesn't feel like me for some reason. Virna's is very unique...just like you, V! Love your books...can't wait til CHOSEN BY BLOOD is out. The cover is so gorgeous, I just want to pet it.
ReplyDeleteHi Virna!! *waves* Awesome post - I always got teased about my name (people would sing "My Bonnie lies over the ocean", which is so NOT a big deal but to a kid its a total bummer) also my maiden name was Brady, so I'd get all the Brady Bunch jokes. And then, my birthday is April 1st so of course I got all the pranks. Sheesh. So I feel your pain!!
Hot excerpt!! Don't enter me in the contest =D And BTW I ADORE everything you've written!!
Loved the post! Been hearing so many good things about your books and I am adding both author names to my TBR list. Need to read both types of books! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks you so much for the Giveaway! When I read Laurie´s review I added your books to my TBR-pile ;-)
Lea @ Reading Against All Odds
Sharon, so glad you liked it! I think we all needed to be reminded of our wild sides now and then! :)
Hi Susan! You're definitely not a Sue to me, but I guess it's all what you're used to. That's the beauty of who we are--we're so many different things to different people. Can't wait for readers to get the antho and see how talented you are!!
Bonnie -- waving! So glad to see you here. Thanks for sharing your name troubles. If only we know then, right?
DarkBloodyVamp and RAAO, thanks so much for adding me to your TBR lists! I hope you enjoy my stories and look forward to hearing what you think!
Well.... "I have an aunt Phyllis" or "My grandma's name is Phyllis". My name peaked in popularity in the 30's. And don't call me Phyl, please. (except my dad. He chose the name in the first place. Turns out he had a girlfriend named Phyllis before he met my mom. But then, he was born in the 30's....)
And some high school guys thought it was hysterical. Siphyllis. Yay.
I used to wish my name were Suzanne. Or Jennifer. Or something totally normal. But now I'm used to it, I guess. I still need a pen name, though...
BLH Mistress: I love DD! It exudes affection! :)
Phyllis: I've SO been there! I considered changing my name college, but decided against it. Good or bad, I AM a Virna. :) But pen names rock! Pick out something you love!!
Hi Sharon and Kristin, So cool to be sharing this time with you and getting to follow your successes, as well!
HighlandHussy, Thanks! I had so much fun creating the suspense and action scenes in Chosen--I hope you enjoy them!
Thanks so much for stopping by Danielle, Ilona, Sondrae, and EBF. I'm glad Chosen By Blood interests you!!
I can totally relate to you with your nick name, I have an old fasioned style family and everyone is either called bubba or sissy, even til this day I call my brothers who are grown by the name bubba and when their friends hear it they tease them at work. LOL
Your book sounds wonderful and am adding it to my wish list. I would love to win
Luckily for me, I really like my name. The only problem with it is that Jennifer has been a popular name for many years now so no matter where I'm working, there are always at least two or three people named Jennifer. At my current job, there are two of us in a dept of 10 people and we sit right next to each other, so it's a bit distracting.
Enjoyed the excerpt, would love to try one of your books.
jen at delux dot com
Good excerpt. My mom's cousin named her daughter Verna so you're not alone. I was named by my paternal grandmother. My mom was going to name me after her, Sophia, but she hated her name and told my mom that since I was going to be named after her she should be able to choose my name. And that's why I'm Sheila, a name I like.
I have to say l like my name (Jodie) but l would hate it if l disliked it or thought it didn't suit me because it was for 'older' people.
I think it's great how people can just change their name and often l get caleld Jod and rarely get called Jodie. l have noticed lately how l call most of the people around me by nicknames!
Thank you for the giveaway and the post!

Series: Evolution Basics
Written by BioLogos Fellow of Biology Dennis Venema, this series of posts is intended as a basic introduction to the science of evolution for non-specialists.
Biological Evolution: What Makes it Good Science? Part 2
The Galápagos Islands were not a distinct "center of creation," but a workshop for evolution in which an ancestral species made it to the yet uncolonized island and underwent a massive degree of speciation to adapt to the environment of the island. This is precisely what one would expect if the species of islands had arisen by evolution.
Meet Jimmy Lin, "Medical and Scientific Doxologist"
In our current culture, we're defined by our jobs. It's having a vocation. I wanted to shift away from that. I didn't want to be a doctor first and foremost, or a scientist, but one who praises God.
Genes, Cells, and the Changing Face of Technology, Part 1
Right on this tabletop, you could make materials that by current manufacturing processes would otherwise cause a great amount of environmental hazard … In 50 years, we should be able to do things in ways we don't do them now, that will be cheaper, less toxic, less polluting, more efficient, and so forth…
Series: Made in the Image of God: The Theological Implications of Human Genomics
This series by Denis Alexander reflects on advancements in genomics as well as their theological implications. He focuses on the relatedness of hominin genomes, arguing that this does not interfere with the image of God in humans. The image of God depends more on the capacity for relationship and covenant, not on a list of particular physical qualities. He then discusses why the recent studies of genomics provide "no grounds for genetic determinism."
Series: Behe, Lenski and the "Edge" of Evolution
In this series, we reexamine the claim made by Intelligent Design proponent Michael Behe to have found a limit to "Darwinian" evolution in light of recent results from the laboratory of Richard Lenski.
Series: Genesis Through Ancient Eyes
In this talk, originally delivered at the BioLogos President's Circle meeting in October 2012, Dr. John Walton discusses the origin stories of Genesis 1-3, and why their focus on function and archetypes mean there is no Biblical narrative of material origins.
Series: Decoding ENCODE
The BioLogos Foundation explains to the findings of the Encyclopedia of DNA Elements (ENCODE) project and responds to the claims that its discoveries challenge the theory of evolution, especially regarding so-called "junk DNA".
Denisovans, Humans and the Chromosome 2 Fusion
The Denisovans, an extinct hominid group that interbred with modern humans, made the news again lately with the publication of a more detailed study of their genome. One of the many interesting findings was that the Denisovans share the same chromosome 2 fusion that modern humans have.
Becoming Human: New Insights from Genome-wide Functional Genomics
We live in exciting times for a geneticist: more and more genomes are being sequenced, and more and more novel genome-wide analyses are being performed to shed light on what all those newly-determined sequences mean.
Series: Understanding Evolution: the Evolutionary Origins of Irreducible Complexity
One of the challenges for discussing evolution within evangelical Christian circles is that there is widespread confusion about how evolution actually works. In this installment, we examine evidence that proteins in irreducibly complex (IC) systems can form and refine new interactions through gradual mechanisms.
Theory, Prediction and Converging Lines of Evidence, Part 2
We have already discussed hind limb and hair loss in whales, and now we turn to one of the remaining questions: tooth loss in the lineage leading to modern toothless whales.
Possibilities and Second Chances
In today's video, Dr. Rick Colling states that evolution is not merely the imposition of death and destruction and survival of the fittest. Rather, it is about second chances.
Series: Understanding Evolution: Is There "Junk" in Your Genome?
One of the challenges for discussing evolution within evangelical Christian circles is that there is widespread confusion about how evolution actually works. In this installment on "junk DNA", we explore how genomics can be employed to test for non-functional sequences by comparing sequences between related organisms.
Where is the Genetic Evidence for Evolution?
The discovery of DNA has revolutionized our understanding of common descent, particularly in the past few decades. Mutated genes spread through populations over generations, leading to evolutionary change. In this podcast, we look at several examples of genetic evidence for evolution.
Revealing God's Nature
In today's video, Brian McLaren discusses the value of considering Scripture in light of the cultures that surrounded them. The Biblical writers were aware of the myths of the power nations that surrounded them, but flipped their stories on their heads to reveal truth about God.
Seeing the Flood Story Through an Ancient Israelite Lens
Pete Shaw highlights the story of Noah to explore how the story would have been understood in ancient times and from there he goes on to explore how we might consider it today.
A Geneticist's Journey
Prior to analyzing her genome, investigators expected to find that either she was a human being like us, or she was a Neanderthal. What they found, however, no one was prepared for. No one!
Series: Evolution and the Origin of Biological Information
Dennis Venema begins this series by summarizing a key Intelligent Design belief: that if we see specified information, we infer design because we are unaware of a mechanism that can bring about specified information in the absence of intelligence. In each subsequent part of the series, Venema shows why this argument is wrong. Venema presents evidence to show that natural mechanisms can, in fact, explain the origin of new information. He reminds his readers, however, that this does not in any manner exclude God from the process.
Series: From the Dust
In this series, Ryan Pettey offers several clips from his powerful documentary "From the Dust". This feature-length film is divided up into various sections, each of which wrestles with the difficult problems that arise when reconciling Scripture with the theory of evolution. A light of hope dawns on the science-faith conversation, however, as scientists and theologians engage in honest dialogue about tough issues such as the interpretation of Genesis, the nature of the Fall, and the idea of random design. Their profound insights are sure to enlighten all minds, raise deeper questions, and provoke new thought.

Just four months after Ringgold High School reached the Sweet Sixteen round of the GHSA state playoffs for the 10th straight year, North Georgia Player of the Year Rachel McGill and All-Region honoree Victoria Sprouse inked with the Lady Bobcats in a ceremony on Feb. 27.
McGill and Sprouse produced monster numbers at the net for the Lady Tigers in 2012.
McGill, an outside hitter for Ringgold, served up 39 aces, 128 kills, and 34 digs in her honor-filled season.
"She can dominantly play any position on the court and she's proved that all season long," said Ringgold head coach Cadi Dotson. "She took a leader's role on this team throughout the season."
Spouse, the middle hitter for the Lady Tigers, put up eerily similar numbers when in attack mode. The incoming Lady Cat locked in for 39 aces and 147 kills in her final year for the Blue Nation.
"We will be going from a season without a true hitter to a season with two of the strongest ones you can find in Northwest Georgia," said Lady Bobcats head coach Carrie Powell.
McGill and Sprouse have been best friends since they were only eight years old. The two first played volleyball together at Ringgold Middle School.
"These two just feed off of each other," said Dotson, who has coached them on the middle school, high school, and Junior Olympic levels. "Having worked with them in the beginning to now seeing them at this level is just simply inspirational. They will bring Georgia Northwestern everything they could want in a pair of student-athletes."
Both McGill and Sprouse have plans on pursuing a career in nursing and wish to begin taking core classes at Georgia Northwestern in preparing for application to the college's nursing program. It's a pursuit that may be, in part, due to the fight McGill has faced this past year with cancer.
Doctors removed McGill's thyroid in 2012 to help eliminate cancer from her body. McGill also has Type I Diabetes, but neither battle has slowed her down.
"I just want to do my part and be able to make a difference next season," said McGill.
Dotson says McGill motivates her teammates by example.
"She treats every day like a blessing. She's been a real inspiration to everyone on her team."
With both of these newcomers to the JUCO ranks, Sprouse makes her plans for 2013 with the Lady Cats very clear.
"What do I want to do next season," repeated Sprouse in her interview. "Just win, man."
Georgia Northwestern first launched its intercollegiate varsity women's volleyball program in 2008. Over the past five years, the college has made headlines several times across the Southeast with huge wins over multiple Southeastern Conference women's volleyball club teams.
"From Ole Miss to Vanderbilt to Tennessee, we found a lot of success, sometimes even putting some of those universities out of their own tournaments," said Powell.
The second-year Georgia Northwestern head coach was a member of the college's first squad.

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Wednesday took on Republican congressional critics of her department's handling of the deadly September terrorist attack in Libya.
Conservative GOP members challenged Clinton on the lack of security at the diplomatic compound in Benghazi as well as the erroneous account that the attack grew spontaneously from a protest over an anti-Islam film produced in the United States.
At two hearings, which together totaled more than five hours, Clinton acknowledged a "systemic breakdown" cited by an independent review of issues leading up to the armed assault and said her department was taking additional steps to increase security at U.S. diplomatic facilities.
Here are five things we learned from the hearings before the Senate Foreign Relations and House Foreign Affairs committees.
1. What Clinton did the day of the Benghazi attack
Clinton spent the better part of last September 11 trying to get a handle on security at several other U.S. embassies in the Middle East where anti-American protests were in full swing over an anti-Muslim film produced in the United States.
She said the U.S. embassy was "under assault" by crowds trying to scale the wall. American embassies in Yemen and Tunisia were also facing a "serious threat. Clinton personally called the president of Tunisia, she said, to "beg him to send reinforcements, which he did, to finally save our embassy."
By 4 p.m. that day, Clinton was notified about the Benghazi attack. In the coming hours, she was in meetings and spoke with staff, the American Embassy in Tripoli and other U.S. officials.
Directing the U.S. response from the State Department, Clinton stayed in touch with officials across the administration and with the Libyan government.
She instructed her staff to "consider every option, to just break down the doors of the Libyan officials to get as much security support as we possibly could."

Benefit6 Whole Body Protection by I Do Strive, LLC is the first product to focus on six key areas of health to provide consumers with the most comprehensive whole body protection supplement including weight loss. Benefit6 is unique because of it quality ingredients and convenience in packaging.
According to a study published in the American Journal of Medicine Alpha-Lipoic Acid promotes overall weight loss of up to 5%.
"In the randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, 20-week trial, 360 obese individuals (body mass index [BMI] = 30 kg/m(2) or BMI 27-30 kg/m(2) plus hypertension, diabetes mellitus, or hypercholesterolemia) were randomized to alpha-lipoic acid 1200 or 1800 mg/d or placebo. The primary end point was body weight change from baseline to end point. The 1800 mg alpha-lipoic acid group lost significantly more weight than the placebo group (2.1%; 95% confidence interval, 1.4-2.8; P<.05)."
The study concluded, "Alpha-lipoic acid may be considered as adjunctive therapy for obesity." Additionally, chromium operates to obstruct carbohydrate intake and food uptake. L-arginine increases nitric oxide development and boosts oxygen and nutrient delivery to energetic muscles, enhancing tolerance to bodily workout and recuperation systems.

AAA: Watch for impaired drivers on New Year's
Updated: December 28, 2012 11:53AM
New Year's Eve may be a time of revelry, but drivers should take heed that it's also the deadliest day of the year for alcohol-related fatalities on the roads.
So the American Automobile Association reminds those who will be on the roads not to drink and drive, not to ride with anyone who's been drinking, and to watch for impaired drivers on New Year'.
For New Year's Eve partiers, AAA recommends:
• Plan ahead to designate a non-drinking driver before any party or celebration begins.
• Never get behind the wheel when you've been drinking alcohol — even if it's just one drink.
• Never ride as a passenger in a car driven by someone who's been drinking.
• Do not hesitate to take the keys from friends or family members who may be impaired.
• Call a taxi for a friend in need.
• Be a responsible host in reminding guests to stay safe and always offer alcohol-free beverages.
• If you encounter an impaired driver on the road, keep a safe distance and ask a passenger to call 911.

Nothing in life is simple -- especially when it comes to romantic relationships. However, some people make things harder than they need to be.
When all those little habits that your soul mate possesses evolve from endearing idiosyncrasies to the bane of your existence, chances are the spark has started to fade.
If you find that your relationship is losing its "oomph," there are many options available other than breaking up.
You could spend hundreds of dollars on counseling. You could communicate about your problems until you are blue in the face. You could even attend a couples "boot camp" where you are forced to practice grueling and humiliating "trust exercises."
Or you can just speed things right along and follow these five simple tips for reigniting the flame in your relationship ...
No. 5: Take a stroll down memory lane
Sometimes the easiest and quickest way to get that lost lovin' feeling back is to actually transport yourselves back in time.
OK, you can't literally do that -- real life hasn't yet caught up with sci-fi. But you can go back to the restaurant where you had your first date.
Or go dancing and ask the DJ to play "your song." Or bring out those photo albums and love letters you've been collecting over the years and sit together by the fireplace talking about all the great times you had.

LONG BEACH — A case that began like something out of a film noir story ended far less dramatically Monday, with a 64-year-old Long Beach man quietly pleading no contest to second-degree murder for the 2011 slaying of his infirm mother.
| PHOTOSThe victim, 87-year-old Dorothy Ellen Armstrong, was found dead at her East Long Beach home on May 5. On her wall hung a lovely portrait, painted when she was a fledgling young model and actress in the 1940 s through the 1960 s, with knife marks cut deep over her heart.
It could have been the plot synopsis for one of her movie or TV roles, but it was how she lived, and
Fredrick entered his no-contest plea - considered the same as a guilty plea in criminal court - before Long Beach Superior Court Judge Gary Ferrari, who immediately sentenced the defendant to 16 years to life in prison. He must serve the base term of 16 years before be can be considered eligible for parole, and he waived all rights to appeal the sentence and conviction, Deputy District Attorney Carol Rose explained.
Rose, and Long Beach Police Department Homicide detectives who investigated the case, said Fredrick killed his mother after she moved from an assisted living center back into the East Long Beach home the pair shared. He grew to resent caring for his mom, and he slashed
When police were called to the home in the 3500 block of Los Coyotes Diagonal on May 5, they found the victim dead in her bed with her throat slashed.
Fredrick told officers he went to his mom's room that day after he heard a gurgling sound.
"He had two different stories," Rose said. "First he said she did it to herself and that when he tried to remove the blade he accidentally pushed it in deeper. ... (Later) he confessed."
The victim was born Dorothy Ellen Partington, and that was the stage name the New York native used when she worked as an actress and model. There are no starring roles listed on IMDB, but the online database for movies and TV shows notes she appeared in a film with Richard Burton in 1960, "Ice Palace," and had a role in an episode of "Lawman" in 1959.
Married twice, she had two sons, Fredrick and his half-brother, William Armstrong.
Armstrong addressed the court Monday, before sentencing, and talked about the pain, remorse and anguish he has felt since his mother's murder. He said he never would have imagined having to address the court for such a matter, and that try as he might to memorize his statement and keep composed he couldn't completely prepare himself for the rush of emotion he felt standing before the judge.
"The words can't stay in your head because they hurt too much," Armstrong said, his eyes brimming with tears.
"I vowed to myself that in the future, if I cry a tear, I cry one for mother, If I say a prayer, I say one for mother," he added, before saying he felt sorrow for everyone in the family, including Fredrick.
As he spoke, Fredrick bowed his head. The defendant, who was handcuffed and shackled and who wore yellow and blue Los Angeles County Jail inmate infirmary garb, sounded and appeared medicated when he spoke Monday.
Fredrick opted, against the advice of his attorney, to plead to the lesser count of second-degree murder, and an offer of 15 years to life in prison plus an additional year for personal use of a weapon, to avoid a trial and, potentially, a harsher sentence.
"I will not join in the plea because (Fredrick) has chosen, against my advice, to take advantage of this offer," Public Defender Carolyn Disabatino told the court, noting not all of the discovery in the case had been turned over and the defense investigation wasn't completed.
After she spoke, her client addressed the court and expressed remorse for his actions.
"I am terribly sorry for the events that took place last May," he said softly. "I would like to express my (remorse) to my brother ... and the rest of my family."

Notre Dame School's annual Bid Your Heart Out auction returns Feb. 16 to the Southern Ohio Medical Center Friends Center. Now in its eighth year, the event offers a catered dinner, wine, dancing, as well as auctions away trips, computers, concert tickets, sports tickets all in an effort to raise money for Notre Dame School.
"The auction is one of the major fundraisers for Notre Dame School, and it benefits Notre Dame Elementary School and Notre Dame Junior and Senior High. The money really goes right back into the schools. It's used for operating expenses to run programs. Sometimes it's used to update technology," said Patty Tennant of the Notre Dame School Development Office.
Items that are auctioned are all donated by the community and local businesses. Some sponsors donate cash which the school uses to purchase additional items and vacations to auction at the event.
"When we started the auction, obviously we did it as a fundraiser but at the same time we wanted it to be a community event. There's not a lot of events around Valentine's Day so we've sort of stuck with that time of year, and that's our theme every year," Tennant said.
The evening begins this year on Saturday, Feb. 16, with appetizers and wine tasting at 5 p.m. at the SOMC Friends Center, followed by dinner at 6 p.m. On the dinner menu is prime rib, chicken or salmon, and everything is included in the cost of a ticket — $50 at the high school or elementary school. The only thing not included in the ticket is how much, if anything, visitors choose to spend on auctions and raffles.
"Some of the items that we've had before that are very popular have been the Greenbriar trip, that's always very popular; a trip to Vermilion, which is up near Sandusky, that's very popular. We're going to have Muirfield tickets again, and the University of Notre Dame football tickets on the 50-yard line," Tennant said.
Other items being auctioned this year include a "build your own trip" to Disney World in Orlando, concert tickets for Maroon 5, Carrie Underwood or Taylor Swift, tickets to the Western and Southern Tennis Classic in Cincinnati and getaway trips to Hawaii, Gatlinburg, San Francisco or New York.
"We usually try to stick to about 25 items in the grand auction, and about 150 in the silent auction," Tennant said.
Raffles are also available with smaller items available for $10 per ticket entry. Raffles this year include a set of two new iPads, a flatscreen television, and Beats by Dre headphones, and the Notre Dame football tickets. Tennant said the winner of the Notre Dame tickets will be allowed to choose which game to attend, but match-ups against USC and Oklahoma are not available.
"That's what makes it fun. Some of our trips go for $3,000 or $4,000 dollars and not everyone can afford that, but a raffle you can be there and just buy one raffle ticket and walk home with a really nice prices," Tennant said.
A Chinese raffle will also offer smaller items, such as a cash prize or gift cards to local restaurants, for only $1 tickets.
After dinner, the grand auction begins at 7:15 p.m., and check out begins at 9:30 with dancing until 11 p.m. Radio host Steve Hayes is Master of Ceremonies, with DJ Jim Schmidt and the auction hosted by Allen's Auctions of Minford.
For more information about the Bid Your Heart Out auction, or to purchase tickets, contact the Notre Dame High School at 740-353-0719, or the elementary at 740-353-8610, or find them online at notredameschools.com.

For this awards season, Hollywood came through with a bumper crop of movies that were critical and fan favorites. But in many cases, the big studios themselves can't take much of the credit.
Among the films basking in Oscar nominations — and bragging rights for the studios that released them — are "Lincoln," "Zero Dark Thirty" and "Beasts of the Southern Wild."
In a growing trend, the distributors of those three movies didn't pay to make them. Walt Disney Studios, Sony Pictures and Fox Searchlight essentially outsourced the productions, allowing others to invest the money and take the risk. Other award-contending films, including "The Master" and "The Impossible," follow the same pattern.
OSCARS 2013: Nominee list | Snubs & surprises | Ballot
At a time when media conglomerates are in thrall to the mega-profits that can be made from superhero movies and sequels, studio executives have a hard time risking money on pictures aimed at a more sophisticated adult audience. So they're increasingly relying on outsiders to do so.
"Studios are tentative about adventurous movies that don't have a clear precedent," said Roman Coppola, a writer on the Oscar-nominated "Moonrise Kingdom," which was released by Universal Pictures-owned Focus Features but financed by Indian Paintbrush, an independent company founded by venture capitalist Steven Rales. "So you sometimes have to go outside the system to make the most interesting movies."
For moviegoers who prefer sophistication over spandex, it's mostly good news. Some of 2012's most acclaimed films, like "Zero Dark" and "Beasts," might not have gotten the green light from a Hollywood studio boss in a corner office.
For the studios, however, there can be a downside: When the outsourced films become box-office successes, the studios don't keep as large a share of the profits. The Steven Spielberg-directed "Lincoln," for instance, has grossed nearly $150 million in the U.S. and Canada. But Disney will collect less than $10 million of that because it was simply the distributor. DreamWorks, which financed "Lincoln" with three other partners, stands to make far more.
In ego-driven Hollywood, the outsourced film can also create tension between a financier and a studio over who can receive champagne toasts at parties and be included among the thank-yous from the awards show dais. In 2011, financier Ryan Kavanaugh petitioned the motion picture academy to credit him as a producer on the Oscar-nominated "The Fighter" along with the producers credited by distributor Paramount Pictures. He was declined.
Of course, Hollywood has been making movies with other people's money since the days of Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton. The trend accelerated in the 2000s as Wall Street hedge funds began investing in the movie business.
OSCARS 2013: Ballot | Oscar Watch | Timeline
But even during that period, it wasn't unusual for studios to gamble $40 million to $50 million of their own money on high-minded productions such as the 2008 Oscar winners "There Will Be Blood" and "No Country for Old Men."
Even in recent years, some of the highest-profile Oscar movies were financed primarily by studios, including 2011 Oscar winners "The King's Speech" and "The Social Network." In this year's Oscar derby, "Life of Pi," "Flight" and "Les Miserables" are also studio products.
"There's still a willingness to take risks in the adult quasi-art film," said "Argo" director Ben Affleck.
But those films all come with a commercial sheen, featuring well-known source material or A-list stars. And on "Flight," studio Paramount Pictures sold some of the foreign distribution rights to hedge its bet on the $31-million drama about alcoholism.
For the last decade, the trend in Hollywood has been toward visual effects-driven franchise films such as last year's "The Avengers," which play big internationally and can generate hundreds of millions of dollars from merchandise, theme park rides and spinoffs.
The blockbuster formula doesn't always work, as was demonstrated last year by the box-office bombs of Disney's "John Carter" and Universal's "Battleship."
By comparison, the success of the outsourced movies now vying for Oscars has given fresh ammunition to those who want mainstream Hollywood to make more adult-oriented movies.
"What I hope changes is that it allows studios to take risks on subject matter that on the surface doesn't appear capable of being commercial while having something important to say," Spielberg said in an interview.
Indeed, many of the moguls who occupy corner offices on studio lots are personally inclined toward the more highbrow movies nominated for Oscars. Outsourcing the production of more such films enables executives to be affiliated with quality films without shouldering too much of the risk.
"Thank goodness we have partners to help us make these kinds of movies," said Sony co-Chairman Amy Pascal, who oversaw the release of military thriller "Zero Dark." "Nobody wants to be in an industry where we're not making movies that stand the test of time."
Times staff writer John Horn contributed to this report.

Series: The Human Fossil Record
In this series, James Kidder provides an intriguing study on transitional fossils and the evolutionary history of modern humans. He begins by discussing the fossil record, explaining how new forms are classified. He then explains the physically distinguishing trait of humankind—bipedalism. From the discovery of Ardipithecus, the earliest known hominin, to the australopithecines, the most prolific hominin, Kidder focuses on the discovery, the anatomy, and the interpretation of these ancestral remains.
Hominids Lived Millions of Years Ago, but How Can We Tell? (Videocast)
This BioLogos videocast addresses the age of recently discovered hominid fossils and how scientists are able to obtain those dates.
What scientific evidence do we have about the first humans?
In recent decades, scientists have discovered more about the beginnings of humanity. The fossil record shows a gradual transition over 5 million years ago from chimpanzee-size creatures to hominids with larger brains who walked on two legs. Later hominids used fire and stone tools and had brains as large as modern humans. Fossils of homo sapiens in east Africa date back nearly 200,000 years. Humans developed hearths for fire, stone points for spears and arrows, and cave paintings by 30,000 years ago. By 10,000 years ago, humans had spread throughout the globe. Genetic studies support the same picture. Humans share more DNA with chimpanzees than with any other animal, suggesting that humans and chimps share a relatively recent common ancestor. Also, the same defective genes appear in both humans and chimps, at the same locations in the genome—an observation difficult to explain except by common ancestry. Genetics also tells us that the human population today descended from more than two people. Evolution happens not to individuals but to populations, and the amount of genetic diversity in the gene pool today suggests that the human population was never smaller than several thousand individuals. Yet all humans, of all races, are descended from this group. Humanity is one family.

Humanity as and in Creation
Christian theology asserts that humans are spiritual creatures, a unity of body and spirit or "soul," integrated, not reducible downwards to mere matter or upwards to mere spirit.
Where are the Transitional Fossils?
A common argument leveled against the theory of evolution is that scientists have not been able to produce transitional fossils that show the change of one species into another. In this podcast, we address a common misconception about what transitional fossils actually are.
Series: Biblical and Scientific Shortcomings of Flood Geology
Gregg Davidson and Ken Wolgemuth seek to remove the stumbling block of the Genesis flood in this four part series. Though many believe in an ancient world-wide flood, the evidence given does not hold up to geological scrutiny, but points rather to something regional instead. It is their hope that Christians will not walk away from faith in Christ simply because a global flood is not supported by science. Looking at natural phenomena like the Grand Canyon, salt beds, and fossil deposits, they reveal reasons for these deposits and structures while showing that their origin did not stem from a violent flood that covered the planet.
Being Human (Infographic)
The BioLogos Forum is pleased to present this infographic about the current anthropological understanding of human evolution, which takes into account research into both physiological and cultural developments among our ancient ancestors.
Dead Bones with a Living Message
In this video, Pääbo covers a lot of ground, noting several lines of genetic evidence for the evolution of modern humans from earlier hominids in Africa, as well as for the interbreeding between early humans and Neanderthals.
Evidences for Evolution, Part 2b: The Whales' Tale
If evolution is true, whales are related to the even-toed hoofed mammals, and there should be transitional fossil forms dating from about 45 to 50 million years ago.
Series: Understanding Evolution
This blog series by Dennis Venema undertakes the task of clarifying numerous aspects of evolution that often become misconstrued by Christians. He first discusses the idea of speciation in a population over time, later applying it to the speciation process that occurred among hominids (human ancestors) which led to modern humans. He continues to support this idea by exploring so called "Mitochondrial Eve,""Y Chromosome Adam" and other compositional clues of the human genome.
New Limbs from Old Fins, Part 2: Comparative Anatomy
Critics of evolution sometimes portray the theory as an untestable historical conjecture, depicting it as fundamentally different from experimental science in the lab. But the hunt for the earliest tetrapods was an effort to test a hypothesis that had generated a prediction.
Was Humanity Inevitable?
If the tape was rewound and evolution started over from scratch, Conway Morris says, the evolutionary details would be different, but the end result would be similar: a species characterized by intelligence and complex civilization.
NPR'S Adam and Eve Story
All science can say is that there was never a time when only two people existed on the earth: it is silent on whether or not God began a special relationship with a historical couple at some point in the past. This subtle but extremely important point was missed entirely in the NPR story.
Series: The Cambrian "Explosion", Transitional Forms, and the Tree of Life
Many evolutionary critics have identified the Cambrian Explosion as a stumbling block to the theory of evolution, arguing that the "expected transitions between major invertebrate phyla are absent, and that the suddenness of their appearance in the fossil record demonstrates that evolutionary explanations are not viable." Keith Miller argues that the Cambrian Explosion is not so problematic as these opponents claim after all.
Series: Genetics, Theology, and Adam as a Historical Person
Denis Alexander begins this five part series by discussing both what a model is and whether it is appropriate to use one when building a bridge between scientific truths and theological truths. Providing evolutionary facts about the origins of humans as well as discussing the origin and meaning of Adam in Genesis, he constructs what he calls a Retelling model and a Homo divinus model. Both approaches, he concludes, "suggest that human evolution per se is irrelevant to the theological understanding of humankind made in the image of God."
Made in the Image of God: Theological Implications of Human Genomics
The tenth anniversary of the human genome has been marked by some striking new genetic insights into human evolution and diversity. Do these new discoveries have any significance for the dialogue between science and religion?
Does Genetics Point to a Single Primal Couple?
Is the human race descended from one ancestral pair in the recent past? Are we, as C.S. Lewis puts it in his Chronicles of Narnia, the "sons of Adam and daughters of Eve"?
In The Bones
I am a fan of the blog "Jesus Creed." Recently it published an interesting post about the transition from fins to limbs as evidenced by fossils of an organism trapped in sediment 375 million years ago.
Denisovans, Humans and the Chromosome 2 Fusion
The Denisovans, an extinct hominid group that interbred with modern humans, made the news again lately with the publication of a more detailed study of their genome. One of the many interesting findings was that the Denisovans share the same chromosome 2 fusion that modern humans have.
Beginning with the End in Mind
In today's video, Oxford physicist Ard Louis discusses the famous debate between renowned evolutionary biologists Stephen Jay Gould and Simon Conway Morris over the idea of evolutionary convergence.
