Watching this I could not get over how much Steven Pinker looks like a stereotypical mad scientist, and then to top it all off he pulls out a human brain he keeps on his shelf! the man is up to something, mark my words.

Very long, but absolutely worth the watch. I didn`t even notice the hour pass! They make lots of fantastic points regarding evolution, especially human evolution.

What an elegantly spoken interview, and I`ve watched enough of these 2 guys to know that their explanations weren`t scripted, but, rather, that they are just so into what they do that it just rolls off their tongue.

Haha, that was awesome.. Oh, and how often do you think you`ll hear someone say: "Speaking of brains.. I happen to have one here"

You ever meet someone or listen to someone so intelligent they make you feel like an infant; this is one of those moments for me.
