The Evolution of Evolution
Ζωντανή μετάδοση στις 1 Ιουν 2017
It’s
a profound question facing modern humans: Are we still subject to
natural selection? After hundreds of years of scientific progress, many
of the pressures that control evolution—predators and disease—are
decreasing. At the same time, technology capable of engineering the
genome is in our hands. Are we undergoing a new form of evolution in
which artificial changes are faster and more radical than those produced
by the natural world? Should we control our own genetic material? Where
will these changes lead us? Renowned geneticists, paleoanthropologists,
and biologists consider our genetic future as evolution evolves.

MODERATOR: John Hockenberry
PARTICIPANTS: Hank Greely, Sam Sternberg, Ian Tattersall, Sarah Tishkoff
