Sean Carroll, University of Wisconsin: "Remarkable Creatures: Epic Adventures in the Search for the Origins of Species" – October 7, 2009

The search for the origins of species has entailed a series of great adventures over the past 200 years. Biologist and author Sean B. Carroll will chronicle the exploits of a group of explorers who walked where no one had walked, saw what no one had seen, and thought what no one else had thought. Their achievements sparked a revolution that changed, profoundly and forever, our perception of the living world and our place within it.
