Prothero (1920-2004), a technical illustrator for Lockheed, and Shirley M. (McDonald) Prothero (born 1924), an artist and homemaker. He attended the where he studied paleontology under Dr. Woodburne and Dr. Michael Murphy and earned during his junior year. He received his Ph.D.

In geological sciences in 1982 from, New York.In 1991 he appeared on the television game show, and defeated on the show in 1999. He was also featured in the Mr. Deity and the Flood episode of the video series. Further, he debated the early in his career.For 27 years he was a member of the faculty at, and he previously taught at, and where he led many undergraduate paleontological and geological field trips. He is currently a research associate in vertebrate paleontology at the.

Prothero at TAM 9 Work Evolution Prothero was one of the earliest paleontologists to use the concept of in the study of Continental rocks. Palaeomagnetism uses the microscopic iron within sedimentary rock to read the alignment of the magnetic field and correlate that with the known history of the polarity reversals of the earth's magnetic field. The magnetic reversals are precisely dated and consistent worldwide which allows these rocks to be studied in climate science and evolution.In addition to his research in magnetostratigraphy, another area of Prothero's research is the evolution of hoofed mammals, especially rhinos, camels, peccaries, and horses.Prothero's work on documenting evolutionary history of fossil vertebrates was cited by in his book The Greatest Show on Earth: the Evidence of Evolution. Skeptic Society founder called Prothero's 2007 book, Evolution: What the Fossils Say And Why It Matters, 'the best book ever produced on the subject.'

He has also been featured as a scientific consultant and was interviewed on several television documentaries, including the Are Rhinos Dinos? Episode of TLC's, the History Channel's Prehistoric Monsters Revealed, the episodes of National Geographic's covering the and, the series on BBC, and the or Bear Dog episode of.In October 2012, Prothero appeared in his capacity as a paleontologist on Conspiracy Road Trip, a BBC television documentary in which five individuals who self-identified as Creationists participated in a road trip along the western coast of the United States, meeting with various experts on the topic, exchanging views and questions with people holding differing views. Prothero and at TAM 2013 Cryptozoology Prothero has frequently written about the topic of, a and, which he categorizes along with and as aspects of American culture that are 'clearly baloney'.Prothero's 2013 book with, Abominable Science: The Origin of Yeti, Nessie, and Other Cryptids discusses the subculture in depth. In a review by of Stanford University, she describes the book as 'An entertaining, educational, passionate, and valuable handbook for readers interested getting a scientific perspective on the field of cryptozoology. With marvelous artwork and deeply researched histories of the various creatures, this is an impressive and authoritative book.' Anthropogenic global warming Prothero looks at the evidence regarding global warming and the role humans have had on it. Pro 4 racing.

In his book Greenhouse of the Dinosaurs, Prothero states 'geologists and paleoclimatologists know a lot about past greenhouse worlds, and the icehouse planet that has existed for the past 33 million years. We have a good understanding of how and why the Antarctic ice sheet first appeared at that time, and how the Arctic froze over about 3.5 million years ago, beginning the 24 glacial and interglacial episodes of the 'Ice Ages' that have occurred since then.' In his article in eSkeptic, Prothero details carbon dioxide increases, melting polar icecaps, melting glaciers and sea level rise as some of the more important areas that point to anthropogenic global warming. He also goes into details to outline climate change deniers arguments and rebuttals to those arguments and finally talks about why people deny climate change. Skepticism Prothero grew up in a household, but eventually became an. He became involved in the skeptical movement in the mid-1990s, when invited him to join the editorial board of. His first appearance as a panelist at was in 2010.As a result of Prothero's books about evolution in 2007 and climate change in 2009, he recognized that 'those same people who were denying evolution are often the exact same people who deny climate change.'

This realization led him to research and author 'Reality Check: How Science Deniers Threaten Our Future' in 2013 as he explained during an interview on the podcast:“There are lots of people out there who accept science when it’s convenient; but there’s a lot of things that science tells us they don’t want to hear and so then they reject those so-called inconvenient truths. And so this sort of weird, little way of doing things is not only true of creationists, it’s true of climate deniers, it's true of AIDS deniers, anti-vaxxers, a whole bunch of various kinds of alternative medicines-it’s a very common thread. And many of them have very similar strategies in the way they battle against the reality of science.this is a scary thing because they will accept what science has done in the way of 'give us progress' and 'give us technology' and 'give us transportation,' and yet they just don’t want science when it gets in the way of ideology or religion.”In 2015, Prothero was elected a fellow of the.
