Almost 30 years on from the creation of Dolly the sheep we may not be cloning humans, but the technologies that brought her into the world are increasingly influencing the foods we eat, the animals around us — even our own bodies.

In Artificial Evolution, our latest series of Science Friction, ABC environment reporter Peter de Kruijff follows the story of gene technologies all the way from Dolly right through to the present day.

From the bizarre criminal conspiracy to clone the world's largest sheep, to the lab trying to bring back long-extinct species, and new trials transplanting animal organs into humans — each episode covers how these technologies are reshaping the world around us.

Episode 1 is out Wednesday, September 3.
