About
Welcome to Gutsick Gibbon! I’m Erika, a current PhD student in Biological Anthropology. I have a Masters of Research degree in Primate Biology, Behavior and Conservation with a BSA in Pre-Professional Animal Science and minors in Anthropology and in Biology.
Here you can find videos concerning primates, general zoology, paleontology, anthropology, and evolutionary biology! I also spend a hefty amount of time debunking Young Earth Creationism, which I find to be an enjoyable hobby akin to debunking Flat Earth.
I find there to be a deep and personal beauty in being a part of the animal kingdom, and thus strive to be a gentle and modern ape. I hope you leave here feeling the same way!
