#82 - Rowan Hooper - How Symbiosis Made Our World

Dr Rowan Hooper is an evolutionary biologist, journalist, author and the editor of the New Scientist podcast. Here we chat about his new book, 'Togetherness' and how Symbiosis made our world. Rowan explains how Symbiosis drives evolution and maintains our ecosystems, we chat about Darwin and Dawkins and how their work has been misused, fascinating facts about Lichen, the gut microbiome, mycelium, leafcutter ants and lots more! Rowan also shares his thoughts on how humans can reach a better state of 'Togetherness' with nature.
