Hi! I have a question. I think this would make a really good episode too. This article exploring the similarities between the function of seritonin in humans and octopus concludes that the function of seritonin originated in the last common ancestor of both species. How do they know that's the case rather than convergent evolution? <a href="https://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2018-09/mbl-sfa092018.php" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2018-09/mbl-sfa092018.php</a>

2018-09-19 00:08:00 +0000 UTCI'm curious about why the Ediacaran biota are not considered to be the start of the Phanerozoic Eon.

2018-09-15 21:47:12 +0000 UTCMore paleoartists appear to be showing theropods with covered teeth these days. Could you comment on views held in the scientific community regarding exposed v.s. enclosed dinosaur teeth.

2018-09-15 21:42:48 +0000 UTCHow can you tell the difference between a coprolite and just another rock? .. and how much information can you get out of a coprolite? .. and is there any way you can associate a coprolite with a particular animal?
