Dr. Sarah Amand, an Associate Professor at Johns Hopkins, challenges Peto's Paradox, which maintains that larger animals don’t have higher cancer risk. She reveals fresh findings suggesting that larger species might actually face increased cancer rates. The conversation also explores the fascinating traits of cancer-resistant animals like elephants. Additionally, a remarkable fossil of Bastetodon, a 30-million-year-old predator, is unveiled, connecting ancient ecological dynamics to cultural history.
