Interview: Evolution of New Species, Venom, Wings, and More with Sean B. Carroll

From fruit flies to snake venom, evolutionary biologist Sean B. Carroll explains the genetic toolkit that drives evolution and the hidden rules behind nature’s creativity. How does evolution invent entirely new things, like limbs, wings, and venom? Evolutionary biologist Sean B. Carroll explains how the same set of genes can build wildly different creatures — from fruit flies to lobsters — simply by rewiring their genetic circuits.
