Professor Kevin J.Peterson gives a fun informal lecture at MDI Biological Laboratory's Science Cafe'. Besides giving a good overview of the state of our understanding of Ediacaran/Cambrian's radiation event, I like it because of the way he acknowledges the provisional nature of our understanding and the importance of the arguments over the evidence that keep science moving forward. He underscores how we learn from honestly evaluating our mistakes as much as our successes. Below the fold I include key screen shots plus information from papers mentioned in this talk. (For why I'm putting together this collection, please see this.)
