Malcolmt Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 (edited) Not sure if people caught this show on the BBC but watched it this week and it was very good. BBC Beautiful Minds Season 2 Part 1. The whole 1 hour episode was about paleontologist Jenny Clack and her discoveries about fish evolution and their transision to land. Basically she looked at things outside the box and therefore saw things that others had missed because she did not have some of the preconceived biases of some of the more old school paleontologists. Very well done and watchable show. For those of us that do not live in the UK there seem to be a number of torrents that you can find to download it. And besides how many female paleontologists do you know that drive a motorcycle..... Edited May 2, 2012 by Malcolmt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t-tree Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 I watched it and thought it was brilliant and it was nice to see the luck element come in to play when she was searching for her fossil as we all need that bit of luck sometimes when hunting.

Malcolmt Posted May 2, 2012 Author Share Posted May 2, 2012 As with others some of her best finds were already sitting in museum drawers gathering dust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
