I returned from east of Payson, AZ yesterday and we had a great excavation where we found and logged Early Permian plant fossils and tracks. I'm working on a video that will show some of the exciting finds as well as what plants and animals they may be associated with. Look for the video by Tues…

Paleontology Field Work Season Again!
I'll be heading up to East Central Arizona this week for a couple days of track hunting and assisting with an excavation of Permian tracks from the Hermit Shale on Tuesday. I'm meeting Paleontologist Dr. Spencer Lucas and a small team near the base of the Mogollon Rim northeast of Payson to 3D s…
Ken Ham Sues Over Rain Damage To Ark Encounter Park
I first saw the headline on my facebook news feed and thought oh, The Onion came up with a good one today, but then I realized the article was published in the Louisville Courier Journal, Ken Ham's local newspaper. It turns out the lawsuit was about rain damage to the road leading to the ark bui…
Suggested Human Origins Reading
Click On The Books Below To Purchase On Amazon
People often ask me what my favorite books are on human evolution or which books they should buy while I'm teaching origins at the museum or discussing it online. Here are four fairly up-to-date, recent books that I've read and thought were…
Finally Got A Saddle For This Bad Boy!
No time for a blog post today, but I did record a two part interview with Dr. Antoine Bret from Madrid, Spain where we cover a segment of Kevin Conover's course on Young Earth Creationism. The first video will be uploaded tonight and the second one tomorrow. In the meantime, here's a picture of me r…
Monetizing YouTube, Patreon, And My New Amazon Page
When I first started this website and my YouTube channel, I never really gave any thought to monetizing my videos or making any money off of this. Discussing Creationism was just more of a hobby and studying Human Origins has been an interest of mine for decades. The more videos I've made …
Late Neandertal Genomes And What They Can Tell Us
Back in March, 2018 an article published in Nature compared genomes of five Neandertals who lived between 39,000 and 47,000 in Croatia, France, Belgium, and Russia. They also compared these recent genomes with older genomes already sequenced and some from modern humans. The comparison shows that…
Great Series On Early Humans By Stefan Milo
I've been real busy with stuff around the house this week and making videos so not much time to blog, but I want to pass on a link to a great video channel I recently found full of information on archaeology, anthropology, and history.

The Cost Of Speaking Out Against Young Earth Creationists
My creepy internet stalker Gary Robokoff is at it again, and he seems to have come completely unhinged now. After my debate with young earth creationist Kent Hovind, one of his devout followers became so angry he decided to attack me financially by coming after my business and attack me personal…
The Importance Of Lucy As A Human Ancestor Confirmed Again
A new paper published in Science Advances confirms that it is not likely that Australopithecus sediba from South Africa was ancestral to the Genus Homo, but was the result of a population that evolved in a different direction about 2 million years ago. I have long believed this was the case ba…
New Feature: Help Support What I Do On Patreon
A lot of people have asked me lately how they can help support what I do. I've created a Patreon account so I can spend more time as a volunteer educator at The Arizona Museum Of Natural History where I focus on teaching human evolution to children who attend on school field trips, so I can dev…
Refuting James Tour's Video On The Origin Of Life
James Tour's video titled "The Mystery of the Origin of Life" on the Discovery Institute YouTube channel has been very popular with creationists and ID proponents (cdesign proponentsists). In this video, Dr. Gary Hurd discusses all the errors James Tour makes in just one short segment.

New Species Of Dinosaur Announced Today!
I attended the press conference this morning at the Arizona Museum of Natural History where I volunteer in Mesa, AZ announcing a new species of tyrannosaur, Suskityrannus hazelea, which means Hazel's Coyote Tyrant. Suski is the word for coyote in the Zuni language from the area where the discove…
Earth & Space Day At The Arizona Museum Of Natural History
Yesterday I volunteered for the Explore Science, Earth & Space Day at the Arizona Museum of Natural History where I taught children (and their parents) about thermal mapping, how different earth surfaces absorb or reflect heat, and how humans are affecting the balance.
The Explore Science: E…
