Reviews
Franky
Julia Sweeney is funny and very intelligent. Brought up Roman Catholic, she started having questions about religion after reading the bible. Whether you believe in God or not, her arguments and questions are insightful and provocative. She approaches the subject with an astute mind, looking into multiple religions and delving deeper than most people care to. Many people follow religion blindly, and accepting whatever they are told by their minister. You will follow Julia Sweeney as she attempts to reconcile her faith in God before ultimately, letting go.

Uncovering Our Earliest Ancestor: The Link2009-04-26Explores the story behind the discovery of an early primate fossil, Darwinius masillae, nicknamed Ida, in a shale quarry in Germany. The fossil is believed to be around 47 million years old, and is extraordinarily well-preserved. Originally unearthed in 1983, Ida lay in the hands of a private collector for 20 years before it was shown to a Norwegian paleontologist, Dr Jørn Hurum. Realising that Ida could turn out to be a significant missing link between modern primates, lemurs and lower mammals, he persuaded the Natural History Museum in Oslo to purchase the fossil and assembled an international team of experts to study it. Their findings were announced in a press conference and the online publication of a scientific paper on 19 May 2009.More...
