Arrival of the Fittest

Explore the fascinating world of biological innovation in this lecture by evolutionary biologist Andreas Wagner at The Royal Institution. Delve into the fundamental laws driving adaptations in nature, going beyond Darwin's theory of natural selection and 'trial and error'. Discover how these laws give rise to a realm of biological creativity, from flying animals to plants harnessing solar energy. Gain insights into the origins of innovations in nature, completing the puzzle of life's rich diversity. Learn from Wagner's extensive research on the evolution of biological systems, from genomes to complex molecular networks, in this hour-long presentation that challenges traditional views on evolutionary adaptations.
