Growing Up in the Universe - Episode 1 - Waking Up in the Universe

Oxford professor Richard Dawkins presents a series of lectures on life, the universe, and our place in it. With brilliance and clarity, Dawkins unravels an educational gem that will mesmerize young and old alike. Illuminating demonstrations, wildlife, virtual reality, and special guests (including Douglas Adams) all combine to make this collection a timeless classic.

In the beginning of the first episode, Dawkins discusses the amazing capabilities of the human body and contrasts these with the limited capabilities of computers and other man-made machines.

Growing Up in the Universe - Episode 4 - The Ultraviolet Garden

This episode opens with a story of a little girl who thinks that flowers are for making the world beauty and helping the bees to make honey for us. This illustrates our anthropocentric view of life. Also there is a special guest of this episode: Douglas Adams! He reads a passage from his novel and later Dawkins tries to weigh him.

Endless Forms Most Beautiful: The New Science of Evo Devo - Sean B. Carroll (Audiobook)

"Every animal form is the product of two processes--development from an egg and evolution from its ancestors," writes Sean B. Carroll in his introduction to Endless Forms Most Beautiful. The new science of "evo devo"--or evolutionary developmental biology--examines the relationships between those two processes, embryonic development and evolutionary changes, despite their radically different time scales. Carroll first offers a recap of how genes express themselves in a growing embryo, then peers into the life histories of real-life examples to explain how those genes have changed (or not changed) over millions of years of evolution. Paraphrasing Thomas Huxley, he asks us to consider evolution and development as two sides of the same coin.

The book's second half is where Carroll really gets at the meat of evo devo, explaining how regulatory genes control such mysteries as individual and population changes in butterfly's spots, jaguar fur, and hominid skulls. Evo devo is one of the hottest areas of study in 21st-century biology, and Carroll's outline of the field is a great place to start understanding it. Amazon
