Have we got evolution wrong? In conversation with Simon Conway Morris

Have we got evolution wrong? In conversation with Simon Conway Morris

Nick Spencer speaks to Simon Conway Morris. 22/11/2022

For all the fears over growing levels of creationism, evolution is widely accepted in the UK. But ‘accepted’ does not necessarily mean understood, particularly when the theory itself is subject to so many myths and fanciful interpretation. 

In this episode, Nick Spencer talks to Simon Conway Morris about his book From Extra–terrestrials to Animal Minds: Six Myths of Evolution.
