Two big ideas in biology: the evolution of species via mutation, fitness and natural selection; and the embryological development of individuals, from fertilized egg to whole organisms. How do these two big ideas—“evo-devo,” as it’s called—relate? What novel ideas emerge?
Featuring interviews with Alex Rosenberg, Alan Love, Rachell Powell, and Terrence Deacon.
