But of course they too contain the work of others

(Laughter)

That's what we're talking about.

So you admit it's all interpretation.

That's where babies were born and people died.

It doesn't have to be.

Thumbs down! Even the thumb itself is an adaptation formed through the process of natural selection.

I used to make the joke that darwin's thinking was rather... unevolved.

So this is a virus based solar cell.

And when we take that, we take this idea of what culture is doing and add it to what the long term trajectory again, in life's evolution we find that each case each of the major transitions in life what they're really about is accelerating and changing the way in which evolution happens.

So let me summarize.

So all these steps in evolution are increasing, basically, the evolution of evolvability.

And the ingenuity, if you could call it that, goes even further.

I'm an archeological geneticist at the Center for Evolutionary Medicine at the University of Zurich, and I study the origins and evolution of human health and disease by conducting genetic research on the skeletal and mummified remains of ancient humans.

This baby is a human body it evolved.

This guy appears more advanced.

When people think about making pan viral detection reagents, usually it's the fast evolving problem that's an issue, because how can we detect things if they're always changing?

I think they're right about one thing.

It's not confined to its own lineage.

And the dominant ideas of our time are the memes that spread the most.

This is evolution. Copy, transform and combine.

A few species may have evolved along those lines.

The evolution of dinosaurs interests me greatly.

I have a great interest in the evolution of dinosaurs.

Evolution.

If this frequency ever varies, then evolution has occurred.

So in a way you can see how the Mountain in Copenhagen sort of evolved into the Seven Peaks of Azerbaijan.

Think about the theory of evolution.

Before we discuss all five of these processes, we should define evolution.

The reason why little children love animals is because we have co evolved with the rest of creation.

They were drinking coffee prepared like this.

SClENCE

Now, that is not Intelligent Design not from Francis Crick.

This is based on the number of hosts.

So I was just intrigued with what you know, what is this animal's story?

This, and oxygen.

Throughout human history people have played games.

Progress is a comfortable disease.

Or let me put it this way

That's a fantastic question that a case where twiddle will just fail you.

I don't get it.

There is a profound need to belong.

What set of events allowed this to happen?

Evolution acts as a sieve. It sieves out the bad variation.
