Celestia wants to know, are there any species that we can see current evolving in order to adapt to our modern world? Viruses? Whales be thrust in. They need those hip bones for boners because lady whales like sweet moves and there's a lot of competition out there. So sexual selection. Whale grinding like two tractor trailer mack trucks made out of wet blue leather, just slow boning it out. Got a love love.
Celebrate your lucky mutations with an episode about natural selection, agonizing boat trips, redemption stories, olde timey inter-family marriages, how much money you can make playing videos games, finch beaks, whether or not cave men are kinda hot and how to live on a small island with your soulmate. Evolutionary biologist and the director of the Moore Lab of Zoology, John McCormack, chats about all things evolution and gives Alie a new appreciation for how genetic blips can be hidden strengths.
