The Thomistic Institute Uncertainty, Confidence, and Truth in Biology | Professor Daniel Kuebler
Sep 20, 2023
Prof. Daniel Kuebler discusses the challenges and complexities of biology experiments, the species problem, and the ethical questions in biotechnology. He explores uncertainty and variability, the limitations of genetic models, and the role of systems biology in reducing uncertainty. He also talks about human hominids, seizure-like behavior in fruit flies, and the profound implications of uncertainty in the evolutionary process.
