Explore the paradox of cooperation in nature through this thought-provoking lecture by Jonathan Silvertown, Honorary Professor at the University of Edinburgh. Delve into the fascinating world of evolutionary biology to understand how cooperation emerges despite the seemingly selfish nature of genes. Discover the universal rules of cooperation that apply across all levels of life, from cellular interactions to human societies. Learn how these principles have shaped the history of life on Earth over the past four billion years. Gain insights into how evolutionary biology illuminates everyday phenomena, from plant behavior to human aging. Hear from an accomplished author and researcher as he presents ideas from his forthcoming book on cooperation in nature, to be published by Oxford University Press in April 2024.
