Beaker Street
A talk by Professor Barbara Holland with music by Brian Ritchie.
The field of phylogenetics describes how all living things are related, and can be traced back to a common ancestor (one of Darwin’s key insights). As you wander through the ancient geological formation of Launceston’s Cataract Gorge, a reflection on using mathematical tools to understand evolution, species diversity, and what ties us all together.
The suggested walking location for this episode is Cataract Gorge, Launceston, Tasmania.
