    When I was in evangelical Christian school as a child, I was taught that no [other] animals use tools or are capable of altruism. I’m still learning of more counter examples to this day.

    Superb. Seth is a skilled and empathetic interviewer and Erika is such a joy to listen to when she goes off on some enthusiastic tangent. It's just a shame I can only click "like" once.

    The kids that get Erika as their professor are so lucky.

    Some years ago I came to the realization that I am much more thrilled and excited to realize that I am a member of a species that resulted from millions and millions of years of evolution than I ever was believing that I'm here because of the whim of some capricious spirit being who needed to create humans in order to have something intelligent that would worship and adore it.

    What I really like about Erika is that she responds effectively to the creationists, but she manages to do so without being abusive or obnoxious. People like Aron Ra and Sci Man Dan are right, but they can be obnoxious. Often for good reason! I’d be obnoxious to Kent Hovind too. But Erika is really sweet and very kind, and I think it makes her very effective.

    Now I have this vision of my definitive, human attribute being my empathy for an allosaurus skeleton at the creation museum.

    I only recently discovered Erika - evolution is something I find fascinating, and I wish I could understand it better. So I'm slowly working my way through her catalogue of videos. Thank you for this video, Seth!

    Discovered her through Aron Ra back in early 2020, and she’s always a joy to see and hear.

    What the hell did I just watch? She is so god damn clear, and bursting with knowledge, I don't think I have seen such topic competence since watching Dawkins or Carl Segan even. I think I have food in my fridge older than her. I will now go binge watch her channel. You did good bringing light on this one!

    Me and my Girlfriend went to Chester Zoo (uk) a few years ago. There was a lady there holding a young baby and one of the female orangutans brought her own child over to the window to compare. I was so touched. To throw out a cliché I think I saw the "face of God" during that one zoo trip than in many places my journey has taken me.

    So glad to hear a mention of our natural mutualist moral compass! If you NEED religion to be a good person you simply never were a good person, we are hardwired with empathy, sympathy, compassion, etc as a natural byproduct of our pack bonds!
