Host Matthew Donald and guest co-host Laura Owsley discuss Darwinius, a tiny mammal distantly related to the evolutionary line that led to humans, which is cool, but then again, so was Dimetrodon, which is way cooler. From the Eocene epoch, this 2-foot primate was so named to commemorate the 200th birthday of Charles Darwin when it was described, or maybe to send young-earth creationists into a seething rage. A primate named for Darwin that evolved into humans?! I bet this thing supported gay marriage, too!
