How can we bring life back to Mars? How did organisms evolve on Earth? Could dinosaurs have become the first intelligent species? We discussed this and much more in today's episode. Get comfortable, it's going to be really cool! 0:00 - What's today's episode about? 1:03 - The Role of Sex in Evolution 5:03 - "BDSM in Snails" and "Penis Fencing." About animals of different sexes and hermaphrodites. How did they come about? 12:34 - How did evolution progress on Earth? Why did periods of rapid evolution occur? 17:48 - Do dangerous environments stimulate evolution? How do new species emerge? 19:53 - What is the "Cambrian Explosion"? What led to the appearance of skeletons? 22:33 - "The first intelligent species could have been one of the dinosaurs." Important evolutionary crossroads. What could have gone differently? 29:08 - Are there flowers that are completely dependent on insects? 30:55 - Experiments to recreate evolution 32:08 - How does species differentiation work? "Hybrid sterility" and other crosses between dogs and wolves 33:33 - Prebiological evolution. What is it and how did selection occur in those conditions? 37:37 - Are mud springs the most likely place for the origin of life? Why? 41:35 - "This experiment requires a laboratory the size of Earth and a million-year grant." Is it possible to simulate evolution on a supercomputer? 44:02 - "Life is a variant of autocatalysis." Where does the drive for self-replication and life come from in microorganisms? 48:56 - Survival of the fittest? 53:29 - Did life come from space? Why is Mars the prime candidate? How WAS it better than Earth? 59:46 - How can we restore life on Mars? 1:01:49 - How are the very first life and modern life similar? Can we compare them? 1:03:51 - What inheritance does modern life share with the original? Why is DNA helical? 1:08:21 - "Microbial Dark Matter." The most important scientific discoveries in evolutionary biology in recent times 1:16:05 - What would Mikhail discuss with Charles Darwin? Which of his statements would he dispute? 1:21:17 - "The Theory of Neutral Evolution" 1:22:11 - "Perhaps our genome is a vast graveyard of ancient viruses." The role of viruses in evolution 1:27:28 - Which organism can embody all the beauty and diversity of life on Earth? 1:33:21 - "Natural selection supports free will" 1:35:11 - Thanks for watching!
