People of Science with Brian Cox - Sir David Attenborough on Charles Darwin

They both are extraordinary.

What is the name of the first song?

Who came here after reading Anudeep Durishetty's post?🙋‍♂️

Two of the greatests.

Passing of the baton

Two of my favourite people on the planet . Long may you reign .

Top ten anime crossovers.

Two of the worlds greatest science communicators talking about possibly the worlds greatest scientist of the time.

Just the greatest broadcaster. Possibly one of the greatest educators.

CRYING LIKE MAD OVER HERE!!!!

I should geniunely like Prof. Cox to take up Sir David's post, when he's gone. I like Prof. Cox's accent & tone of voice. Very luxurious.

Lovely to see just how respectful Brian Cox is when Sir David is talking. Two absolute gents

What a fantastic video, with two of the most beautiful minds today. I treasure them both and it is sad to see this video has so few views, for such a meaningful topic of discussion.

While the majority of religious believers are good and sincere in their beliefs, the powerful, wealthy religious institutions are firmly embedded with the ruling elites in every religious country. Humanity will be much better served when the majority accepts the fact the Bible is based on a fictional 6,000 year-old Earth where Neanderthals never existed. In the real world, most people have some Neanderthal DNA because our human ancestors mated with Neanderthals and Africans whose ancestors have never left Africa have no Neanderthal DNA. But religion still thrives because of its very real attributes for its many powerful, wealthy vested interests i.e. mega cash-cow and powerful tool of political control. All because, no evidence is required by believers to support religious claims. Tragic for truth, facts, justice, peace etc. Tragic for humanity.

Anyone who likes a little music with their science, take a listen to "Nightwish, The Greatest Show on Earth". Its the story of evolution & includes excerpts from Darwin & Richard Dawkins. Its from an album thats actually called "Endless Forms Most Beautiful".

I could listen to both these fine gents talk all day long, fascinating people.

I'm here from my school work

Why didn't anyone give Sir David Attenborough a bottle of water?
He was about to choke...

Darwinian Evolution is still a myth and I am not religious. What a worthless video.

I hope people will revere Sir David in 200 years as people do Darwin, today.

Sir David has more energy than me, and I'm 40 years younger than him! What a truly incredible man.

These two are treasures to the world. -Much love and admiration from the US

Though I had read many books on Natural history by other Naturalists never read any by Sir Richard Attenboroug.

Darwin was a Divinity student, not a scientist. He thought the cell was a globule of protoplasm, simple and uncomplicated. Attenborough giving praise to Darwin is like doctors today giving credit to "doctors" who bled their patients in the 18th century. And here we are in the 21st century and there is still no empirical evidence that mutated GENES can produce new and genetically different organs or body parts over time. Attenborough believes in fairy tales.

2.6k to 31. Lunacy is dying out.

2 of the coolest people on the planet in 1 room...fantastic stuff.

I agree Charles Darwin is very considerate and humble in his writing - in the Origin of Species, he never claimed he was right about something, he is just stating his observation. He’s my favorite scientist. And a true definition of scientific thinking. I wonder what he would think of CRISPR

those two voices together is just amazing

Evolution is dope

I would listen to his voice all day! His voice is so soothing to the ears.

Thank you cosmos for blessing us with David Attenborough.

Most beautiful quote in history IMO

Sir David Attenborough, he's the best voice of Charles Darwin!

Love 'em both, great piece..never knew this video existed until now :)

Currently reading On the Origin of Species by Darwin for the first time. Darwin was the quintessential scientist. "Enormously considerate" (as David Attenborough beautifully puts it), but also an ingenious critical thinker very much ahead of his time.

What a beautiful discussion.

I’ve always backed Charles Darwin’s theory on Origins Of Species, especially understanding organic beings origins on earth. But question is what’s human story & our descent?

Oh wow this is GREAT!!!!!! Is it part of a full episode????

WHYYYYYYY AM I ONLY JUST SEEING THIS VIDEOOO wth I always thought it would be amazing for them to meet and they already haveeeee cant believe ittt

Absolutely beautiful

what a combination ....

can someone give me 5 dot points of this video please

Love to listen both ❤😊.

This interview was made when sir Attenborough was 90 years old, he was so sharp

The great Charles Darwin conceived of the correct theory of natural selection as the origin of the species after many years of study and observations. A new book published by Austin Macauley Publishers titled From Chemistry to Life on Earth outlines abiogenesis in great detail with a solution to the evolution of the genetic code and the ribosome as well as the cell in general using 290 references, 50 illustrations and several information tables with a proposed molecular natural selection formula with a worked example for ATP. This extends Darwins' theory down to the molecular level thereby making the cell a simpler unit of life for someone to understand than the whole multicellular organism.

I could happily sit for hours listening to Sir David Attenborough read.

"Sexual selection" was scandalous even for people that believed 100% in Darwin's survival of the fittest idea. Their misogyny overpowered their attempt at having a scientific mind.
