36:28

Carl Zimmer investigates one of the biggest questions of all: What is life? The answer seems obvious until you try to seriously answer it.

Let’s face it, panfish, on the whole, are less glamorous than many of the other species we target with a fly rod. Catching a sunfish or crappie, to some, may not be as cool as trout or a tarpon.

1:07:05

What makes a species a species? Aristotle answered the species question by positing unchanging essences, properties that all and only members of a species shared.

What do we really know about our cousins, the Neanderthals? For over a century we saw Neanderthals as inferior to Homo Sapiens.

Now, thanks to an ongoing revolution in paleoanthropology in which he …

Most people agree that animals count morally, but how exactly should we take animals into account? A prominent stance in contemporary ethical discussions is that animals have the same moral status that people do, and so in moral deliberation the similar interests of animals and people should be given the very same consideration.
