We'll start the movie at 11. I'm just going to bring it up on my home computer now. Anna Moore
at 15:41 PM, 14 Jan 2011 via web
I'm here. Thanks for inviting me to join your class! Mr. Burk at 15:58 PM, 14 Jan 2011 via web
Mine is still loading snb at 15:58 PM, 14 Jan 2011 via web
Thanks for coming! Did the video load okay? Anna Moore at 15:59 PM, 14 Jan 2011 via web
SNB, let me know if it comes up. We'll wait a couple minutes to start. Anna Moore at 15:59 PM, 14
Jan 2011 via web
got it! snb at 16:00 PM, 14 Jan 2011 via web
Anyone else here this morning? Anna Moore at 16:00 PM, 14 Jan 2011 via web
@SNB. good. @ John, did your video load? Anna Moore at 16:01 PM, 14 Jan 2011 via web
I'm paused at 1:25. Just tell me when to resume play. snb at 16:02 PM, 14 Jan 2011 via web
Okay, I'm pushing play now. If you join late, just send a note telling us u r here. I'll tell u the
current time stamp on video so u can ff Anna Moore at 16:03 PM, 14 Jan 2011 via web
here we go! snb at 16:04 PM, 14 Jan 2011 via web
yep, I'm at 00:38Mr. Burk at 16:04 PM, 14 Jan 2011 via web
Im here McCarley at 16:05 PM, 14 Jan 2011 via web
350,000 kinds of beetles? Anna Moore at 16:06 PM, 14 Jan 2011 via web
Hi McCarley: welcome! did your video load okay? Anna Moore at 16:06 PM, 14 Jan 2011 via web
Sean Carroll's books are amazing. http://amzn.to/eakFTe Mr. Burk at 16:06 PM, 14 Jan 2011 via

what point in the video are we currently at? Natalie at 16:07 PM, 14 Jan 2011 via web
@snb lol Mr. Burk at 16:07 PM, 14 Jan 2011 via web
@Natalie: I'm at 4 min Anna Moore at 16:07 PM, 14 Jan 2011 via web
yes, what part are we at right now? McCarley at 16:07 PM, 14 Jan 2011 via web
And, welcome to you, too, Natalie. Anna Moore at 16:08 PM, 14 Jan 2011 via web
got it! thanks McCarley at 16:08 PM, 14 Jan 2011 via web
Darwin didn't like school!?!?! snb at 16:09 PM, 14 Jan 2011 via web
going to the zoo and hanging out the backyard was as educational. OBSERVATION. Anna Moore
So, maybe grades are not the best predictor of "success" in life. Anna Moore at 16:10 PM, 14 Jan
2011 via web
medical school in 1840—yikes. Mr. Burk at 16:10 PM, 14 Jan 2011 via web
http://www.nytimes.com/2010/10/17/us/17mandelbrot.html Can you imagine a conversation
between Darwin and Mandelbrot? Fractals! snb at 16:11 PM, 14 Jan 2011 via web
ooh, refraction in bottle=physics Mr. Burk at 16:11 PM, 14 Jan 2011 via web
I could handle class on a boat. sit on a boat and observe things. Anna Moore at 16:12 PM, 14 Jan
2011 via web
semester at sea. http://www.semesteratsea.org/ Always seemed interesting, but I get seasick too
easily. Mr. Burk at 16:13 PM, 14 Jan 2011 via web
The movie Master and Commander has some great Galapagos scenes snb at 16:13 PM, 14 Jan 2011
via web
@snb, that would be an amazing conversation. Lots of connections between math and evolution.

Mr. Burk at 16:14 PM, 14 Jan 2011 via web
amazing how much those iguanas are nidden by rocks (can't spell camofl...) Anna Moore at 16:14
PM, 14 Jan 2011 via web
just a collector—not really trained in science. curious. Mr. Burk at 16:15 PM, 14 Jan 2011 via web
just a collector—not really trained in science. curious. Mr. Burk at 16:15 PM, 14 Jan 2011 via web
oops Mr. Burk at 16:15 PM, 14 Jan 2011 via web
those iguanas were a lot bigger than I expectedNatalie at 16:15 PM, 14 Jan 2011 via web
Darwin rode turtles? The shells tell you where they live. Anna Moore at 16:15 PM, 14 Jan 2011 via
web
@natalie, I agree. And, honestly, I'd never heard of swimming iguanas. Anna Moore at 16:16 PM,
14 Jan 2011 via web
@ Mr. Burk... a great quote from Mandelbrot illustrates your point: If you closely examine the
florets of a cauliflower (or the bronchioles snb at 16:16 PM, 14 Jan 2011 via web
oops - I exceeded the character limit. Alas. snb at 16:16 PM, 14 Jan 2011 via web
@snb. finish though! what about cauliflower? Anna Moore at 16:17 PM, 14 Jan 2011 via web
How did they preserve specimens? Mr. Burk at 16:17 PM, 14 Jan 2011 via web
He was basically saying that everything is fractals, just on varying scales. Bronchioles, shale,
clouds, bark... snb at 16:19 PM, 14 Jan 2011 via web
@jb. great question. Anna Moore at 16:19 PM, 14 Jan 2011 via web
@snb-seashore too. Mr. Burk at 16:19 PM, 14 Jan 2011 via web
love the interaction b/w culture and how we understand science. reminiscent of some of our
henrietta class talks. Anna Moore at 16:20 PM, 14 Jan 2011 via web
these talks always make me wonder how humans will/are changing. Anna Moore at 16:21 PM, 14
Jan 2011 via web
"the prevailing view... just didn't make sense". so often true! snb at 16:21 PM, 14 Jan 2011 via web
darwin learned to preserve his specimines while in med school back in Edinburgh. don't know
technique though Anna Moore at 16:22 PM, 14 Jan 2011 via web
some people still have a small "slit" at top of ear. not all do though Anna Moore at 16:23 PM, 14
Jan 2011 via web
amaing that embryology was a major key for Darwin Anna Moore at 16:23 PM, 14 Jan 2011 via web
I meant amazing Anna Moore at 16:23 PM, 14 Jan 2011 via web
most amazing book: your inner fish. http://amzn.to/fvjNAv About discovery of first fossil fish to
b able 2 do pushup, & our ancestor. Mr. Burk at 16:24 PM, 14 Jan 2011 via web
That reminds me, I owe Uncle Salmon a phone call :) snb at 16:24 PM, 14 Jan 2011 via web
I'll have to find that book. fish pushups? Anna Moore at 16:25 PM, 14 Jan 2011 via web
Never heard the term "descent with modification" before. V interesting. snb at 16:26 PM, 14 Jan
2011 via web
it's fins had evolved to be able to allow it to lie flat on sea-floor and do pushups. Mr. Burk at 16:26
interesting that dog breeding was such an example to darwin Anna Moore at 16:26 PM, 14 Jan 2011
via web
I've never thought about how different dog sizes are Natalie at 16:27 PM, 14 Jan 2011 via web
me either, Natalie. but, it's a cool example I think of how Darwin really observed what was
around him. Anna Moore at 16:28 PM, 14 Jan 2011 via web
And, I never thought about dogs as pointing toward evolution. Anna Moore at 16:28 PM, 14 Jan
2011 via web
how far apart are the islands of the galapagos? anyone know? Anna Moore at 16:29 PM, 14 Jan
2011 via web
where are you all in the video? Joe at 16:29 PM, 14 Jan 2011 via web
Latest radiolab has great interview w/ Dawkins wondering on how natural selection can lead to
alturism: http://www.radiolab.org/2010/dec/14/ Mr. Burk at 16:30 PM, 14 Jan 2011 via web
26:22 Mr. Burk at 16:30 PM, 14 Jan 2011 via web
I'm at 25:30 snb at 16:30 PM, 14 Jan 2011 via web
Hi Joe. Welcome! My time stamp is about 27. everyone is at slightly diff place but close to 27.
glad you joined us! Anna Moore at 16:30 PM, 14 Jan 2011 via web

glad you joined us! Anna Moore at 16:30 PM, 14 Jan 2011 via web
McCarley, are you still here? Anna Moore at 16:30 PM, 14 Jan 2011 via web
Get ready for DNA!!!! Anna Moore at 16:31 PM, 14 Jan 2011 via web
@natalie. @ joe. Why is there the variation in his family? Anna Moore at 16:32 PM, 14 Jan 2011 via
web
@Anna-just a few miles. http://goo.gl/maps/rKIk Mr. Burk at 16:32 PM, 14 Jan 2011 via web
because of dominant and recessive genes? Natalie at 16:33 PM, 14 Jan 2011 via web
@jb. Thank you. so, not far apart is my point. But, still see these differences in bird beaks. so
interesting. Anna Moore at 16:33 PM, 14 Jan 2011 via web
@natalie. yay! yes. crossing over and dominant/ recessive. way to go! ticket on Tuesday! Anna
Moore at 16:33 PM, 14 Jan 2011 via web
I was just about to say crossing over too! Had to think back a little bit. Natalie at 16:34 PM, 14 Jan
2011 via web
Another great book: The beak of the finch http://amzn.to/fLIyZw :Modern scientists go back to
Gpgos and sees ev. in real time. Mr. Burk at 16:34 PM, 14 Jan 2011 via web
Beaks changed season to season with availably of food. Mr. Burk at 16:35 PM, 14 Jan 2011 via web
the fact aht Darwin had not seen DNA and still figured all this out is amazing. Anna Moore at
16:35 PM, 14 Jan 2011 via web
@JB. I had missed that. makes more sense and is even cooler. Anna Moore at 16:35 PM, 14 Jan
2011 via web
i have a question karisa at 16:36 PM, 14 Jan 2011 via web
Hi Karisa. Welcome. ask away! Anna Moore at 16:36 PM, 14 Jan 2011 via web
if we evolved from fish or apes or whatever, why are there still monkeys and fish? i guess what i
mean is, why didnt everything evolve karisa at 16:37 PM, 14 Jan 2011 via web
@Karisa: That is a great question. What do you all think? Anna Moore at 16:38 PM, 14 Jan 2011 via
web
Did they kill all of those mice? Natalie at 16:38 PM, 14 Jan 2011 via web
I missed the mice part. Anna Moore at 16:38 PM, 14 Jan 2011 via web
@natalie—don't think so, you could do DNA analysis w blood/hair sample. Mr. Burk at 16:39 PM,
14 Jan 2011 via web
@karisa—are the mice evolving? What about the birds and dogs? Mr. Burk at 16:39 PM, 14 Jan
2011 via web
Good. Karisa, you posed a great question-I'd love to know what the answer is, I'm not sure.
Natalie at 16:40 PM, 14 Jan 2011 via web
i suppose everything is evolving, just at different times? karisa at 16:40 PM, 14 Jan 2011 via web
or does it have to do with natural selection and only some of a species needed to evolve karisa at
16:41 PM, 14 Jan 2011 via web
I think that's a great hypothesis, Karisa. And, some fish maybe were more adapt to stay in the
water while others were more adapt to leave? Anna Moore at 16:41 PM, 14 Jan 2011 via web
what if everything is always evolving? Mr. Burk at 16:41 PM, 14 Jan 2011 via web
that is so cool that we had gills when we were embryosJoe at 16:41 PM, 14 Jan 2011 via web
the mice on rocks example starts to get a your questions some, too. Anna Moore at 16:42 PM, 14
Jan 2011 via web
they will do a very cool embryo analysis in a bit, too. wait till you see human vs turtle vs lizard,
etc. embryo. Anna Moore at 16:42 PM, 14 Jan 2011 via web
ya i thought the difference in mice fur was really cool karisa at 16:42 PM, 14 Jan 2011 via web
so idea might be we and apes share common ancestor species, but ancestor species is now
extinct. Mr. Burk at 16:42 PM, 14 Jan 2011 via web
how you u all feel seeing the DNA info? it is clear to you? Anna Moore at 16:43 PM, 14 Jan 2011 via
web
ya i understood the sections about DNA karisa at 16:43 PM, 14 Jan 2011 via web
@ Mr. Burk: I agree. the "link" might have been broken somehow. Anna Moore at 16:43 PM, 14
Jan 2011 via web
I felt pretty good about the DNA section too. Natalie at 16:44 PM, 14 Jan 2011 via web
so, if apes and humans share the same ancestors, apes and humans are just different branches to

I felt pretty good about the DNA section too. Natalie at 16:44 PM, 14 Jan 2011 via web
so, if apes and humans share the same ancestors, apes and humans are just different branches to
the tree karisa at 16:44 PM, 14 Jan 2011 via web
and natural selection comes in because i guess we need both species for the circle of life. is that
it? karisa at 16:46 PM, 14 Jan 2011 via web
that's how many would draw it. yes. there are lots of ways to organize these kinds of trees. some
present it as finite. Anna Moore at 16:46 PM, 14 Jan 2011 via web
btw-what makes something a monkey? How do you define monkiness? Mr. Burk at 16:46 PM, 14
Jan 2011 via web
well, our dna is different from a monkey, even if it is 1% karisa at 16:47 PM, 14 Jan 2011 via web
i lost video for a while and just got it back (yay!). can someone give me a time stamp reference?
snb at 16:47 PM, 14 Jan 2011 via web
about "monkiness"... yerkes primate center here in ATL that undertand and use language. Anna
44 min Anna Moore at 16:47 PM, 14 Jan 2011 via web
how alike are those embryos? is that a shock? Anna Moore at 16:48 PM, 14 Jan 2011 via web
Obrigado! snb at 16:48 PM, 14 Jan 2011 via web
Dr. Moore, do you know any specific plants that have more genes than humans like they were
talking about? Natalie at 16:48 PM, 14 Jan 2011 via web
yes, and monkey dna is different from the common ape like ancestor we share. Mr. Burk at 16:48
hahaha that was funny how we have less dna than corn karisa at 16:48 PM, 14 Jan 2011 via web
so, even humans are evolving karisa at 16:49 PM, 14 Jan 2011 via web
As a social scientist I often balk at the notion that anything is "determined" by genes. i'll revisit
the connection bt genes and behavior. snb at 16:49 PM, 14 Jan 2011 via web
here's some info on plants gene #>us: http://bit.ly/gXhPoe bottom of first page Mr. Burk at 16:50
@SNB. nature/ nurture? is it a different conversation for fruit flies vs. humans? Anna Moore at
16:51 PM, 14 Jan 2011 via web
@karisa, yes—you are much taller than your ancestors. Not just good nutrition, either. Mr. Burk
@Anna, perhaps not so much as we'd like to think! snb at 16:52 PM, 14 Jan 2011 via web
is skin/hair color kind of an example of evolution? karisa at 16:52 PM, 14 Jan 2011 via web
is skin/hair color kind of an example of evolution? based on geography karisa at 16:53 PM, 14 Jan
2011 via web

woa sry my computer freaked out on me karisa at 16:53 PM, 14 Jan 2011 via web
I think junk DNA is fascinating. Anna Moore at 16:53 PM, 14 Jan 2011 via web
@ karisa yes, so is lactose tolerance. Mr. Burk at 16:53 PM, 14 Jan 2011 via web
@Karisa, we know that light skin is a mutation that evolved due to the need for more vitamin D.
Anna Moore at 16:54 PM, 14 Jan 2011 via web
is all junk dna a bunch of switches? or is there other stuff in junk dna too karisa at 16:54 PM, 14
Jan 2011 via web
Societies that did not domesticate animals/drink animal milk, were lactose intolerant. Mr. Burk
oh ya, i heard that we were originally all lactose intolerant. karisa at 16:54 PM, 14 Jan 2011 via web
I love that so much science is the product of some curious soul saying "What happens when we...
(fill in the blank)? snb at 16:54 PM, 14 Jan 2011 via web
we used to just "ignore" junk DNA b/c it does not code for a protein. these scientists are saying
the junk DNA matters. Anna Moore at 16:55 PM, 14 Jan 2011 via web
societies that domesticated animals evolved lactose tolerance to be drink animal milk and
eventually love ice cream. Mr. Burk at 16:55 PM, 14 Jan 2011 via web
maybe junk DNA is responsible for evolution. maybe this is why not all mutations are bad. Anna

yay icecream. And, sarah: absolutely. curiosity and courage to ask the question = start of science.
Anna Moore at 16:56 PM, 14 Jan 2011 via web
back to the milk thing, maybe we developed the ability to drink milk because it's good for us- it
has a lot of calcium and protein that we n karisa at 16:56 PM, 14 Jan 2011 via web
how would lactose tolerance come increase your "fitness" for natural selection? Mr. Burk at 16:56
eed karisa at 16:56 PM, 14 Jan 2011 via web
@karisa yes—you've got it! Huge advantage milk drinkers. Mr. Burk at 16:57 PM, 14 Jan 2011 via
web
so natural selection caused a mutation that makes us stronger, enabling us to evolve better karisa
i karisa at 16:58 PM, 14 Jan 2011 via web
Malaria resistance/sickle cell is another example of evolution in action in humans. Mr. Burk at
16:58 PM, 14 Jan 2011 via web
but isnt that just because of vaccines? karisa at 16:58 PM, 14 Jan 2011 via web
@karisa-basically yes. Milk drinkers more likely to survive and reproduce, so the lactose
tolerance gets passed on to population. Mr. Burk at 16:59 PM, 14 Jan 2011 via web
What point are y'all at in the video? My video feed cut off so I have to start over. Natalie at 16:59
@karisa but in populations w/ no domistacted animals, this gene confers no advantage, and so it
doesn't get "selected for" so most are intol Mr. Burk at 16:59 PM, 14 Jan 2011 via web
if you have sickle cell you can't get malaria. so, having sickle cell might be "helpful" in places
with lots of maleria? Anna Moore at 17:00 PM, 14 Jan 2011 via web
@natalie, 57:45 snb at 17:00 PM, 14 Jan 2011 via web
not entirely. No malaria vaccine. populations in malaria prone parts of the world evolv. blood
cells with some resistance. Mr. Burk at 17:00 PM, 14 Jan 2011 via web
or, if you live in place with lots of maleria, then if you have sickle cell you are more likely to live
long enough to reproduce? Anna Moore at 17:00 PM, 14 Jan 2011 via web
unfortunately, getting 2 copies of the malaria resistance gene=sickle cell anemia, which is bad
disease. Mr. Burk at 17:00 PM, 14 Jan 2011 via web
1 gene=maliria resistance, which is good. 2=sickle cell= bad. So it's a balancing act. Mr. Burk at
17:01 PM, 14 Jan 2011 via web
so our cells kinda develop immunity, and that trait can be passed down? karisa at 17:01 PM, 14 Jan
2011 via web
got it. goes other way from what I was picturing. Anna Moore at 17:01 PM, 14 Jan 2011 via web
that's interesting how you dont want too much resistance. everything is in balance karisa at 17:02
@karisa, if that immunity is genetic in basis. Not if it's just anitbodies, like vaccine. Mr. Burk at
17:02 PM, 14 Jan 2011 via web
right karisa at 17:03 PM, 14 Jan 2011 via web
It is structue of blood cells, det. by genes that gives malaria resistance. you can't pass along your
immunity to flu, unfortunately. Mr. Burk at 17:03 PM, 14 Jan 2011 via web
we still have to study resistance to antibodies that come in medicine/ vaccines. that relates to
ability to bacteria to mutate Anna Moore at 17:04 PM, 14 Jan 2011 via web
another great book: survival of sickest. How disease evolves. http://amzn.to/fqylOF Mr. Burk at
17:05 PM, 14 Jan 2011 via web
Bacteria are the PROS of evolution. Why? Mr. Burk at 17:05 PM, 14 Jan 2011 via web
but does the best shape of blood cells get passed down more? karisa at 17:05 PM, 14 Jan 2011 via
web
well there's good bacteria that fights the bad karisa at 17:05 PM, 14 Jan 2011 via web
is good going to win eventually in evolution? karisa at 17:06 PM, 14 Jan 2011 via web
It as been one hour, folks. I must stop to feed children in my house. Keep going, if your time
allows. This has been an amzing dialogue. Anna Moore at 17:06 PM, 14 Jan 2011 via web
thanks for including me Dr. M. smartest crowd i've hung w in a while! snb at 17:06 PM, 14 Jan
2011 via web

2011 via web
say hi to your kids for us :) karisa at 17:06 PM, 14 Jan 2011 via web
@karisa your genes, which you can pass down encode how to make blood cells. If a child gets no
copies of sickle cell gene = normal blood cel Mr. Burk at 17:06 PM, 14 Jan 2011 via web
if child gets 1 copy of sickle cell = malaria resistance, and normal blood cell. If a child gets 2
copies, then = sickle cell disease. Mr. Burk at 17:07 PM, 14 Jan 2011 via web
so is sickle cell gene dominant or recessive? Mr. Burk at 17:07 PM, 14 Jan 2011 via web
Is bacteria a pro of evolution because it allows us to develop resistance? Natalie at 17:08 PM, 14
Jan 2011 via web
@karisa here's much more info: http://sickle.bwh.harvard.edu/malaria_sickle.htmlMr. Burk at
17:09 PM, 14 Jan 2011 via web
how often do bacteria reproduce? How often do humans reproduce? Mr. Burk at 17:09 PM, 14 Jan
2011 via web
I'd say that bacteria reproduces much more often than humans. Natalie at 17:10 PM, 14 Jan 2011
via web
I'd say that bacteria reproduces much more often than humans. Natalie at 17:10 PM, 14 Jan 2011
via web
how much more? like 10 times? Now why would this make them a pro?Mr. Burk at 17:11 PM, 14
Jan 2011 via web
they can get rid of bad mutations quicker karisa at 17:11 PM, 14 Jan 2011 via web
or pick up good mutations quickly as well. Mr. Burk at 17:12 PM, 14 Jan 2011 via web
thanks for the refrences- i like that article about malaria. i like the chart of different types of th
diease according to different places karisa at 17:12 PM, 14 Jan 2011 via web
@karisa np—it's a really fascinating story. Mr. Burk at 17:13 PM, 14 Jan 2011 via web
so basically you want the sickle cell trait karisa at 17:13 PM, 14 Jan 2011 via web
fossil hunting is so amazing to me. such an exercise in patience. Mr. Burk at 17:14 PM, 14 Jan 2011
via web
@karisa, if you live in maliria prone area, you want 1 gene, but not 2. Prob is, your mate does
too, and you might give 2 to child. Mr. Burk at 17:15 PM, 14 Jan 2011 via web
Tiktalik is the fish that is the star of Y our Inner Fish. It can do a pushup! Mr. Burk at 17:15 PM, 14
Jan 2011 via web
look at it go. Mr. Burk at 17:15 PM, 14 Jan 2011 via web
the push up! cool. I can't tear myself away you guys. I have starving children but am so
impressed by this conversation! Anna Moore at 17:16 PM, 14 Jan 2011 via web
that's an awesome animation of how tiktallik's arm matches ours. Mr. Burk at 17:17 PM, 14 Jan
2011 via web
i guess he's an example of why not everything evolves the same karisa at 17:19 PM, 14 Jan 2011 via
web
This is the stuff that would have blown Darwin away. Mr. Burk at 17:21 PM, 14 Jan 2011 via web
i think it's interesting that in the bible, the creation story says that God made fish and birds
before any other animals karisa at 17:21 PM, 14 Jan 2011 via web
Hox genes—very important. Mr. Burk at 17:21 PM, 14 Jan 2011 via web
oops again Mr. Burk at 17:22 PM, 14 Jan 2011 via web
hox genes must be extreamly powerful because you dont find too many people with body parts
in the wrong place karisa at 17:23 PM, 14 Jan 2011 via web
