Nobel laureate Paul Nurse calls evolution by natural selection "the most beautiful idea in biology." He unpacks Charles Darwin's theory, revealing how complexity emerges without a designer and highlighting the profound impact of tiny variations on our understanding of life.

Nurse explores the deep genetic connections linking all organisms, from humans to yeast. This shared ancestry prompts a crucial question: if all life is related, what is our responsibility to the living world?

Paul Nurse, a British biochemist, was awarded the 2001 Nobel Prize for his discoveries regarding cell cycle regulation and served as Rockefeller University's ninth president.
