What role did chance play in the formation of the planet and the emergence of the human species? Watch this conversation with biologist Sean B. Carroll, author of the book «A Series of Fortunate Events», hosted by Joana Lobo Antunes.
Earth, «in the course of its tumultuous journey, has managed to wipe out more than 99.9% of the species it has come into contact with», says Sean B. Carroll.
How did the human species get where we are today? This interview examines the accidents that have shaped the history of both the planet and humanity.
Today, more than ever, science is part of our lives. These digital conversations will discuss scientific discoveries with those who communicate them best. We will address the certainties and threats posed by the viruses currently impacting our lives, but also the uncertainties. Doing so is necessary because «chance» has been decisive for the history of the planet and of humanity.
A collaboration between the Fundação Francisco Manuel dos Santos and the Desassossego publishing house.
