Robert Newman’s New Theory of Evolution.
“CAN ROBERT NEWMAN SAVE THE WORLD?” The Guardian
In this show, Rob describes the 150-year controversy in evolutionary theory and explores how the latest science demonstrates that DNA is not destiny. Might sound a bit dry to you, but I have watched people laughing themselves out of their chairs in the previews. Rob also marks himself out from the comedy crowd by publicly disagreeing with Britain’s current Number One Atheist (in his original specialist subject, no less!).
From a Devil’s Orchard made by lemon ants, to female buffalo voting which way to go, from Prince Kropotkin escaping a Tsarist dungeon to altruistic vampire bats and Richard Dawkins’ postman wrestling naked, Rob Newman argues that cooperation drives evolution more than competition.
