I totally agree with you; there is something very soothing about Sir Tony's presenting skills and the fascinating historical content that is delivered in Time Team and all of his other docos. I found Time Team 1st however, and then found all of his other programs. Tony's 'By the Thames' (not sure of correct title) series is really good too there's one series that's very recent titled The Thames At Night I saw on You Tube on a different channel which I really love.

5:56 Not so much to anyone who knows how to make things, especially things that most others can't, but still want. 36:36 Darwin didn't discover the origins of species(even though he titles his book that), he only wrote on some aspects of evolution surrounding natural selection, and adaptation, the obvious ones at that, the real nitty gritty hard to believe stuff is new and not so intuitive, and explains the jumps that adaptation can't account for (you can't breed a dog into an elephant via selection no matter how hard you try) the magnetosphere and cosmic rays are the bigger answer people are really looking for (sounds fiction, but is hard fact, that is the best explanation for the radiation needed to create the origins of the traits that become an option for selection). There are people walking around homeless today with more real knowledge than the vast majority combined for all time of humanity had up to the point of the early years of science and Darwin's writings, as all the answers where just stories and narratives before, to be changed by anyone for any reason knowing or not.

An interesting note - based on DNA, the people currently inhabiting Britain are not the ones that the Romans fought and displaced. Those were Celts, who assimilated and were eventually displaced by Germanic peoples, the Angles, Saxons and Jutes after the Romans left. Then hundreds of years later the Danes came in (9th century). So then you have Angles, Saxons, Jutes and Danes dominating the DNA from 1000AD onwards.

Human stupidity, selfishness and greed can be so stomach churningly vile at times and idiots that kill trees for the reasons you've mentioned above are at the top of the list for being the dumbest, most selfish and ignorant POS that we will all have to suffer with in this world. I also see the need to gauge one's name into a living thing or an ancient monument as representing that lack of care for the bigger picture or the living entity they harm/brand with their actions. And, yes they should protect that beautiful oak from the demented, selfish folk who may wish to do it harm.

If Sir Tony, and the many others who have followed in this tradition, were forcing the coins into the bark of the tree and actually breaking the skin it may be a problem, but they seem to pop the coins into holes or natural pitted areas or crevices of the tree. Trees will completely grow into metal objects that are in their way at times just as long as you're not strangling the whole tree with a wire wrapped around its entire trunk.

Evolution is very much real and I never once said anything that it isnt. Darwins understanding of evolution was misconstrued and is proven so, especialy dealing with where the homo erectus and homo sapiens came from. I dont like it when his beliefs are taught as truth since he was willing to make up stuff and twist archeoligical findings just to contradict the so called "church" at the time.

It's the fundamental notion, that species evolve and change over time, that's important. Not whether he got certain transitions correct. Besides, not one argues Darwin anymore, except for evangelicals who know they can't argue against moder evolutionary theory.
