First of all, most black holes accrete, or absorb matter and energy, more quickly than they emit Hawking radiation.
And while Hawking radiation has never been directly observed, some scientists believe that certain gamma ray flashes detected in the sky are actually traces of the last moments of small, primordial black holes formed at the dawn of time.
And then you see this sort of model area around the outside, and that is the radiation coming from the Big Bang, which is actually incredibly uniform.
And so my work, really, is trying to understand the character of that Mesozoic radiation compared to the Cenozoic radiation to see what mysteries we can understand from dinosaurs and from other animals about what life on drifting continents really can tell us about evolution.
Looking at dinosaur evolution and studying it, digging it up for many years, I end up looking at the mammal radiation, and it seems as though everything is quick time, just like technology, advancing by an order of magnitude.
That's where the radiation began.
That is 10 times larger than the mammal radiation, which was a four-legged radiation.

But at the time when life began, the UV radiation on Earth’s surface was likely too harsh for life to survive there.
One setting offers protection from this radiation and an alternative energy source: the hydrothermal vents that wind across the ocean floor, covered by kilometers of seawater and bathed in complete darkness.

The TOMS 7 satellite data, shown here, show the annual average ultraviolet radiation at the Earth's surface.
And what Darwin could not appreciate, or didn't perhaps want to appreciate at the time, is that there was a fundamental relationship between the intensity of ultraviolet radiation and skin pigmentation.
Let's first look at the relationship of ultraviolet radiation to the Earth's surface.
In those early days of our evolution, looking at the equator, we were bombarded by high levels of ultraviolet radiation.
Where it protected the body against the degradations of ultraviolet radiation, the destruction, or damage to DNA, and the breakdown of a very important molecule called folate, which helps to fuel cell production, and reproduction in the body.
So if we're somewhere in the Northern Hemisphere, look at what's happening to the ultraviolet radiation.
In the winter, when you are skiing in the Alps, you may experience ultraviolet radiation.
Because the problem there is just as severe, but it is more sinister, because vitamin D deficiency, from a lack of ultraviolet B radiation, is a major problem.
