Common misconceptions about evolution

How evolution works, in 54 minutes | Sean B. Carroll: full interview How does life become complex thanks to pure chance? Sean B. Carroll talks about the “ladder of evolution,” showing how random mutations and natural selection shape everything — from the smallest cells in our body to entire species.

He is an emeritus university professor and chair of the Andrew and Mary Balo, Nicholas and Susan Simon Department of Biology at the University of Maryland, as well as a researcher at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute. Previously, he headed HHMI Tangled Bank Studios, and from 2010 to 2023 he led the department of science education. He is also an emeritus professor of genetics and molecular biology at the University of Wisconsin. Carroll’s laboratory research, conducted by a world‑renowned evolutionary biologist, focused on the genes that control the body structure of animals and play an important role in the evolution of animal diversity. In recognition of his scientific contributions, Carroll was awarded the Benjamin Franklin Medal in the field of natural sciences, elected a member of the National Academy of Sciences and the American Philosophical Society, elected a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and also became an associate member of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States. European Molecular Biology Organization. His latest book is a series of happy events.
