Anand Jagatia

Anand Jagatia, a curious host exploring biological symmetry, dives into why animals, including humans, exhibit bilateral symmetry, while plants do not. He travels back 570 million years to the Ediacaran period with paleobiologist Dr. Frankie Dunn, uncovering ancient life forms that began the symmetry trend in the animal kingdom. The discussion extends to the strange world of echinoderms with Dr. Imran Rahman, raising questions about their unique penta-radial symmetry and its evolutionary implications.
