Talk outline
From a childhood filled with innate wonder at the natural world to a career spent trying to understand how life's rich diversity arose, Kevin reflects on his key influences in becoming an evolutionary biologist and the beauty of the link between natural history and the processes that create and maintain biodiversity.
Interconnected Evolution - The Symphonies, Choruses and Solos for Life. Drawing on a lifetime of nature study, curiosity and discovery, Robert explores a thought-provoking question: Can evolution and natural selection alone explain life's remarkable complexity and harmony, or does creation point to a greater intelligence?
