Can we predict how nature will withstand the pressures of climate change?
In short: Evolutionary biologist Sean B. Carroll addresses complex questions regarding the resilience of nature, the absence of massive mammalian predators, and the ethics of controlled rhino hunting.
In this session, Sean B. Carroll explores the fundamental rules governing life on Earth. The discussion examines the capacity of natural systems to endure climate change and investigates why the world lacks very large mammalian predators.
As an evolutionary biologist specializing in the genes that control animal body patterns, Carroll provides insight into the mechanisms driving animal diversity. He also addresses controversial conservation topics, such as the potential for controlled rhino hunting.
