I'm about halfway through this video as I type this, but I just want to thoroughly laud Dr. Siepel for a remarkably clear and cogent presentation of this complex material. Clearly there is enough deep detail for us to get entirely lost in, but he's doing a fantastic job of focusing us in on the key salient aspects. I've known about this kind of work for a long time, but only in a very vague way, and I feel like he is helping me have a much deeper understanding. Very, very well done, sir - thanks so much!

Just. Splendid. This represents science at its best. I'm so impressed.
-
What a brilliant speaker ! Hope to more from you Adam.
-
This is the way I wish I can communicate Science with the not so much enlightened people Well done Sir

Interesting and informative free public lecture

How can mitochondria contain DNA since they are anucleated cells ? Is this imported travelling DNA of the sort of cDNA ( circulating DNA from e.g. tumours ?)

Great lecture...thanks!! Danny

Excellent
-
great talk, thanks for publishing!

@48:54 I think I know what that initial "Alien DNA" thing he points out is really about. There is a mystery among anthropologists regarding about 13-15% of the population. With possible explanations ranging from a statistical stroke of luck, or something that even today would be called impossible or crazy talk. This graph (if I am correct) actually pushes credibility to that crazy talk.

Thanks for posting, I enjoyed this lecture!

Very good, very interesting.

Modern humans are homosapiens? Homoerectus excluded? Homoerectus and Neanderthals? So much seems missing. Does the gnome sequencing point to chromosome variations/adaptions? So many unknowns. Agree with comments pointing to crazy talk!!

How are these discovering applied to help humans today,2019? How often did women developed breaststroke cancer prior to A. Wilsons findings 1934? Why have breast and ovarian cancer increased more recently? Why do humans develop many new diseases?

meanwhile in the last three years we moved on a bit more... more fossils, more genetics, more data..old show...

Very interesting to see that when a white man gets called what he actually is out of Africa or the black man thinks about the fact that the white man came out of Africa damn that’s some crazy shit😎😎😎😎 love my people. We are all out of Africa.
-
"only plausible explanation" is too strong a statement for open science...

TDS.

So I guess its OK when O'BIDEN coarsens the dialogue by challenging a voter to a fight at a rally. Politics in a science video? Ok then...bye bye.
