Here is the link to the full playlist:
My wife, Lilandra asked me to do this series, based on our first interaction--back when she was a creationist. I often say that phylogenetic taxonomy is the strongest argument for evolution. After we talked about a couple dozen clades, she was convinced, and suggested I do something similar for the public.
If you like what I do, please consider becoming a patron.

The name thagomizer, given to the arrangement of spikes on some herbivore dino's tails, was coined in 1982 by cartoonist Gary Larson in his comic The Far Side. The name is now official in scientific parlance.

I like how the name Thagomizer came along. It refers to a Gary Larson cartoon, where one caveman stands in front of a display, shows the tail of a stegosaur and explains "This part we call the Thagomizer, after the late Thag Simmons."

The last video I was pondering what Aron might think about Ark, and in this video, there is a clip of Ark showing a Yutyrannus.
Well played, Aron Ra.

I'm a big fan of the Megalosaurus.

You might even say I'm a Megalomaniac, my therapist already does.

I haven't cared much for most metal bands but your playlist in your videos is excellent, Aron. Please let us all know the names of the artists that you use in your videos. You're one of my favorite professors at YouTube University.

Very happy I found your channel. Within the first minute, I think I subscribed. Thanks for the work and I must say you are a damn genius.

As someone who found high school biology deadly dull, how I wish this series had been available.  Fascinating, informative and bad jokes, perfect.  Thank you Aron Ra!

I always basically accepted evolution as a fact since I heard the idea. It just makes sense. Exploring its history and getting a fairly complete lay perspective on how we got here through these videos is really cool and thanks.

I love this series. It's probably the best explainer for phylogeny and taxonomy I've ever found. It's very concise and relatively easy to understand since he goes step by step.

Keep up the good work Aron

Excellent work, sir. So much better to binge watch than Netflix. My six year old loves it too. She's a budding naturalist, if I'm any judge.
Looking forward to the next episodes.

I've always known that the Earth has been around a vast amount of years, but being nearly 30 episodes in and we are barely at Dinosaurs really drives it home just how recently humans evolved.
