Exploring Genetic Engineering and Historical Cataclysms

This chapter addresses the implications of CRISPR and the ethical concerns surrounding genetic engineering and gain-of-function research. The conversation transitions from scientific dilemmas to historical cataclysms, highlighting significant events like the Toba supervolcano eruption and its impact on human populations. It further delves into human migration theories, the challenges faced by early humans, and the implications of past disasters on our understanding of survival and extinction.
