In New Book, Palin Says She Doesn’t Believe In Evolution

I wonder how she feels about the theory of Gravity!!

Stanford primatologist and anthropologist Robert Sapolsky scores big with this grad lecture on "The Uniqueness of Humans," a humbling, inspiring and sweet 30 minutes on what it is about humans that makes us unique from our animal cousins, and how many of the seemingly unique features of humanity can be found elsewhere.

(thanks Avi and Cory D!)
