Ted Talks: Stewart Brand: The Dawn of De-Extinction. Are You Ready? Throughout humankind's history, we've driven species after species extinct: the passenger pigeon, the Eastern mountain lion, the dodo .... But now, says Stewart Brand, we have the technology (and the biology) to bring back species that humanity wiped out. So -- should we? Which ones? He asks a big question whose answer is closer than you may think. Mar 13, 2013 9:00 AM

The History of Life on Earth: Crash Course Ecology

The History of Life on Earth: Crash Course Ecology Hank Green debuts a new Crash Course Series on the topic of ecology. Episode #1 gives a quick overview timeline from the formation of the planet Earth through abiogenesis, the Oxygen revolution, the development of eukaryotic organisms, on through to the now. With a solid understanding of biology on the small scale under our belts, it's time for the long view - for the next twelve weeks, we'll be learning how the living things that we've studied interact with and influence each other and their environments. Life is powerful, and in order to understand how living systems work, you first have to understand how they originated, developed and diversified over the past 4.5 billion years of Earth's history. Hang on to your hats as Hank tells us the epic drama that is the history of life on Earth. User: loqi Nov 5, 2012 10:31 PM

Fungi: Death Becomes Them

Fungi: Death Becomes Them Death is what fungi are all about. By feasting on the deceased remains of almost all organisms on the planet, converting the organic matter back into soil from which new life will spring, they perform perhaps the most vital function in the global food web. Fungi, which thrive on death, make all life possible.
