Sex, Genes and Evolution #49

March 05, 2010

This episode was recorded when Science for the People was called Skeptically Speaking.

Biologist John Logsdon joins us to discuss the genetic and evolutionary aspects of sexual reproduction. Why do we have sex, anyway? Why do some creatures reproduce sexually, while others don't? And beyond the simple act of making other humans, what role does sex play in the survival of our species? And on Speaking Up, we talk to Don Riefler about the Gen Con Guerilla Skeptical Symposium.

Guests:

  • John Logsdon
  • Don Riefler
