Howdy all!
This week we venture back in time, sometimes WAY back, with Eons, a great little web show from PBS.
But first this statement. I know some people do not like when I put the heavy duty science and education stuff on the Friday Link. I think this stuff is fascinating. If for no other reason; the hosts make this science stuff a lot of fun!
I've featured Eon's segments in the Friday Link before but this week I give it up all to them. Not only do they do a great job of explaining the science, AND WHAT WE DON'T KNOW, but they are full of surprises when it comes to what we do understand about the evolution of life on this planet.
We'll start with the discovery that we had domesticated cats a lot earlier than we thought (at least in Cyprus?), go on to debate about a great die off of life (or did it?), and then talk about what did the mammoths in. Enjoy!
