Aidan McGivern

Professor Rebecca Kilner, an evolutionary biologist at Cambridge, discusses how the absence of seasons would dramatically alter animal life, emphasizing the impact on breeding and cooperation among species. Aidan McGivern, a senior weather presenter at the Met Office, provides a simulated forecast for a world without tilt, envisioning expansive deserts and tundras. They explore how these changes could affect evolutionary trajectories and whether dinosaurs would thrive differently in a seasonless Earth. The conversation is a fascinating blend of climate science and evolutionary theory.
