Kuv zaum rapt pem lub taub hau kuv lub TV Sunday menyuam qhov tseeb phuv ntawm koob BBC/foundations “Lub neej”. Thawj qhov uas yuav tuaj cuag kuv siab… “Vim li cas muaj Oprah xaiv los hais dabneeg!?” Lawm, Kuv tos kom cov kab tshwj xeeb rau cov huab cua ua ntej kuv blogged txog qhov no, tab sis rov mloog Oprah rau ob peb lis piam tas los no twb tau khawb xav kuv ob lub qhov muag. Kuv twv kuv yuav tau tawm thiab muas cov BBC version nrog lub suab ntawm Sir David Attenborough iconic xwb…
Tau ib tug zoo tuav ntawm dev leg npaum li cas xwb Oprah yog, koj saib tau qhov tib clip rau foundations. Kuv yeej tsis xam Oprah yuav anything ze kom nws ncav minded – thiab nws lavish kev pab txhawb cov Jenny McCarthy proves kis. Rau cov neeg uas tsis tuaj paub – McCarthy yog cov proponent rau ntawm lub qhov txhaj tshuaj los tiv thaiv no. Koj txawm mus kom deb li deb li attributing nws PR yaum mus tiv thaiv tau kev tuag. Kuv yuav tau rov qab mus rau qhov kawm lwm lub sij hawm.
Rov qab mus rau lub npe ntawm tes. Tam sim no muaj ib kab tej footage incredibly stunning, thiab ob peb vignettes txog kab lub neej kuv yuav tsis muaj lwm yam no xwb puas pom. No mas, li lawm hauv Teb Chaws Asmeskas version lub neej me ntsis rov sau nrog pes tsawg luab tshab. Kav yooj yim yuav hloov ntawm “nws txawm tsis nyob hauv qhov mus ob peb vas” mus “uh-huag, zoo li mob taub hau”. Nkawd zoo ib yam li ib kauj ruam mus ua kuv, albeit ib tug me me quav. Kuv twb tseem annoyed me ntsis nrog rau vertebrates continual kom pom tseeb – noog uas noj yoov, bears uas noj cov zib ntab, lizards ntsi xws li Carabids – thiab anthropomorphizing tswv yim, e.g. Cov ntsaum “crowning fawb zej zos loj txoj… qhov ze tshaj plaws tsuag rau tib neeg lub zos”. Txawm nws yuav muaj tseeb tias cov ntsaum giant colonies superficially zoo li tib neeg lub zos, Kuv tsis hu nws tus “kab crowning fawb”. Siab boggling complexity, yog – tiam sis overshadowing lwm yam uas tsis yog tus zauv txhia? No txhua nqaiv nqes los tus cuav premise tias evolution striving rau cov tib neeg zoo li cov qualities li thiab yog directional.
Tab sis tsis muaj dab tsi ua zoo overly hais txog. Qhov ntau haiv neeg lus thiab lub ntiaj teb kab complexity, Kuv tsis tseem tau txaus siab rau ob lub lis piam footage khoom. Kuv yuav hlub li cas yog nyob rau hauv pem teb tej chav saib!
Kuv yog Attendance mesmerized ntawm cov footage ntawm cov kab (yog lawv Chiasognathus granti?). Kuv xav tias lawv siv wide-angle macro – Kuv tsis tau xav txog tej yam nyob li cas lwm lawv thiaj tau tej qhov tob amazing ntawm teb.
Koj me criticisms muaj cuab kav siv tau, tiam sis yeej kev sis caav tas directional evolution yog tshaj ntawd sawv daws lub peev xwm muab – Kuv yuav nyob nrog koj thaum lawv tseem misinformed txog uas taw tes yog qhov kev pab cuam captivates lawv txaus siab thiab ua rau lawv xav saib. Lawv muaj kev hwm thiab fascination rau xwm xub, ces thiaj txhawj xeeb txog cov lus.
Kuv blogged txog qhov nabqa/carabid mimicry tshaj ntawm ib xyoos dhau los – mus tom “Txheem” thiab nrhiav “Tyrant nyuj kab” raws li lub ib hlis ntuj 2009 (tsis xav kom txuas, vim ob tug yuav flag no li spam, thiab kuv twb tau ib qhov txuas zoo heev rau cov pawg lus tom ntej).
Hais txog “tiv thaiv tau kev tuag”, Michael Specter kov rau qhov no nyob rau hauv ib tsab ntawv hnub no ntawm Hais lus nyob Tuesdays.
kuv pom zoo ib yam thiab, ntawm tej taw tes cia li yuav tsum tau zoo siab hais tias nws yog zoo li nws yog thiab yuav rub ib tug neeg rau ib tug ntxaum kev ntawm xwm. Nws yog bugs kuv (his) pom ib pliag zoo teachable tiab hauv qab dhau los.
Uas yog ib cov yees duab nyob zoo! Kuv yuav tau rov rooj vag uas ntev.
Yees duab zoo kawg! Nyob zoo meej lub suab paj nruag keeb kwm yav dhau, David yog txiv huab tais. Kuv luag luag nrov kawg nkaus rau “nthee”! Kuv tsis tau coj kuv mus saib lub Oprah version (tshee tshee).
Kuv tsis paub tias lawv hloov tus kheej nyob ntawm qhov chaw uas nws yog aired. Poob rau Aus peb (thankfully) tau Attenborough. Kuv tsis xav tias nws yuav ua tau ib tug zoo BBC natural history doco tsis tau nws!
Ntawm zam tsoos cov footage, tag nrho yog superb, tiam sis txhaj ib yeej tau daig ntawm lub forefront ntawm kuv nco. Nws yog tus amazing qeeb yias timelapse ntawm cov nroj tsuag rov tua. Yog hais tias koj tsis pom nws tseem, koj nyob nraum nyob rau ib tug tua.
