I have contacted thisviewoflife by PM about posting the links in this forum. Thus far, I've not heard back.
I hope posting the links here, and crediting thisviewoflife as the source of the links, does not violate any posting etiquette.
If it does, the thread can be removed.

Though the course had 24 lectures, it is still well worth watching the 11 lectures posted for their scope and scholarship.

nice

Enjoy!

Thanks so much!

This is an absolutely brilliant series of lectures.
Professor Frederick Gregory is a thoughtful, balanced, and insightful teacher.
His ability to present differing views of proponents and adversaries of evolution makes the series all the more enjoyable.
This is the best and most comprehensive overview of Darwinian Evolution that I've seen.

Thanks thisviewoflife.

Perhaps someone can find episode 20 to make the excellent lecture series complete.
