No chance to pay for college so thank God for these universities and colleges putting lectures up on YouTube. It's what I live for, anything that has to do with life how it came to be where it's at and where it's going

Brilliant guy! Looks like the audience was really tired or didn't get his jokes, hahah. Very fascinating topic, glad to see people out there educating others on the more obscure, but nonetheless wonderful topics.

Earlier in the talk I thought of the crocodile remains on Aldabra near the upsidedown jellyfish pool also near to where the sacred ibris hung out and the large fruit bats hung down from the bushes. Did he know about it? When you mentioned Aldabra I nearly jumped off my seat. Thanks for that mention brought back memories of 36 years ago. Thanks for the presentation I enjoyed it.

This is exactly how someone comes across who is truly passionate about a certain topic & tries to share that enthusiasm with others who just don’t have the same basic understanding. It goes over people’s heads but it’s fascinating.

I don't do primates, I do things that ATE them.
