I spent 8 years teaching 8th graders science.

Evolution | Ancient Humans | Paleontology | Biology | Education

You can find my content on Tik tok or YouTube, @zekedarwinscience
Good Science News:
New Pew Research Poll shows 80% of Americans accept that humans have evolved over time.

Up from ~60% a decade ago.

Worth noting the question changed a bit, but as someone that enjoys teaching evolution, this made me feel good.

What do you think of the rephrasing of the Q?

Thumbnail Check…

Should I go with smaller text for “the science report”?

We don't talk enough about the fact that people lived alongside 20 foot long sloths in the Americas for thousands of years.

Incredible.

Saw this the other day and it has had me thinking about beans as well.

Proud of this one I’m growing.

Getting closer. :)

I forgot how much I genuinely enjoy the editing process.

20 minutes edited, around 10 to go.

Then spending some time on audio.

No better time than right now to set a goal and work towards it.

Someone asked me how long it would take for the current extinction event to be visible on this famous graphic.

Thoughts?

Feels great to open Tik Tok after posting a video and seeing a response like this. I’ll miss the app if it is banned.

Posting my recent hominins map because some people on Tik tok had been asking how to find it.

I unfortunately lost my access to the raw files and adobe - but I really enjoyed this project back in the day.

A year in a half of exercise, eating healthy, cutting out sugary drinks entirely and monitoring my health with a doctor (trt - doesn’t feel right not acknowledging that)…

…as shown through Tik tok.

60 degrees in December.

Perfect for putting Christmas lights up and then watching Rudolph.

Just got home. Florida was amazing. I learned a lot.

Hurricanes are forcing us to adapt. Green Edge Homes will help with that... and more.

I visited their grand opening yesterday (2 days ago I guess - it’s 1:35 am).

The website just dropped and it is beautiful.

Found this while surveying hurricane damage on a little island.

May not look like much, but it’s one of the coolest things I’ve ever came across.

Not the lizards.

Had the chance to see the La Brea Tar Pits last week. May see some ancient shark and camel teeth this week.

The travel makes Sundays even more special.

Florida 20,000 years ago will always blow my mind. We don’t talk about this enough.

I’m headed out there in a few days and want to make a video. Not really sure where I’ll be yet though.

What are some favorite ancient sites that haven’t been lost to the water?

Officially released my first ever merch.

The “BIRDS ARE REPTILES” line pairs the engaging statement with a simple phylogenetic tree that allows the wearer to explain evolution while answering the question “what do you mean birds are reptiles?”
