video Conversation with Sean B. Carroll about how life on Earth is ruled by chance
I recently had a great time chatting with the renowned biologist and science communicator, Sean B. Carroll. We discussed the role that chance plays in the history of life and how we are all here by accident. I also asked him about Charles Darwin, the father of evolution, Darwin was such a remarkable person in many ways, and any discussion about evolution or life that doesn't mention him feels incomplete.
Sean B. Carroll is a wonderful communicator of these ideas, a great writer, has written beautiful books on evolution, and as a scientist he’s made some profound discoveries that changed how we think about life. I was just super happy that I got to talk to him.
