Evolutionary biologist Elisabet Sahtouris blends biology, philosophy and spirituality into an intoxicating mix that will touch the very nucleus of your cells. Offering a multitude of reasons to remain hopeful despite dire predictions for our environment, Sahtouris is confident we can turn things around - and quickly - because "life is too intelligent to proceed by accident." She cites recent evidence that "DNA reorganizes itself intelligently under stress with remarkable speed." In other words, "There's never a time for greater creativity than during crisis." Sahtouris shows you how to uncover the four and one-half billion years of biological wisdom deep inside us all. (hosted by Michael Toms)
