Sean B Carroll - The Making Of The Fittest 

Excellent

all biology students love you so much Sean.....

Loved you in the “What Darwin never knew” documentary on the machinery of DNA. This topic is so utterly fascinating.

Sir Sean you are great and precious for world.

I am just stunned by the low number of views!!!!! When I consider all the unworthy things to spend time on - and this! this is overlooked. On a more positive note, you are so good at explaining things. I have watched several of your videos, and your ability to express ideas and complicated data is impressive. You are personable, humorous - an excellent teacher. I am in the process of writing a book (I am a theologian) which discusses the emergence of "belief" (religious and non-religious) - and the negative impact that belief has on culture, education, politics, etc. When did this ability of the imagination emerge, how and why did its emergence survive, and how did it evolve (either biologically or through a related process such as memetic evolution)? These are some of the questions that arise. To cover this topic I have been listening to and studying biology, archaeology, neuroscience, evolution, psychology, etc. If I had realized how complicated my simple consideration was - would I have begun that journey of discovery? Well, now it's too late. Onward. As a final note, I will be changing the famous phrase of Darwin (Survival of the Fittest) to my own term : survival of the "freak." I think it more easily dismisses the notion of linear growth, determinism, and the fallacious consideration that all mutations are beneficial. I think that this will make an interesting read. Anyways, thought it might be interesting the explain my interest in your presentation(s). Thank you again for your knowledge, your teaching skills, and for sharing your work with us. If more would watch this .... more would benefit. Thank you!!!

Pretty interesting topics in evolutionary biology .I do believe that SJG should be smiling from above, even without possessing any mutated violet opsin gene looking at you conferencing,further nodding in appreciation for your endeavours and your team collaborators evo devo prowess

fantastic .. love the there is no god at the end ..just perfect.

You really inspires me to become the next Sean Carroll😂

Watched all of it 1:01:50

1:25 . . . In the late 1920's the whale stocks of the North Atlantic had been fished out . . . " Translation: In the late 1920's we'd killed so many whales in the North Atlantic there weren't enough left to make a profit.

A good 10-15 minute lecture. A tedious one hour lecture. Repeating virtually every sentence 3 different ways.

Blahaha
