The Purpose of Purpose - Richard Dawkins
The Purpose of Purpose - Richard Dawkins
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mT4EWCRfdUgDuring Richard Dawkins' American tour in March 2009, he gave a talk titled "The Purpose of Purpose". I travelled with Richard to these cities and filmed the talks, which I've edited together here. The content of the talk remains intact, while the editing moves between the different locations and Richard's Keynote presentation.
Produced by The Richard Dawkins Foundation and R. Elisabeth Cornwell

A new evolutionary theory explains how critically small populations of early humans survived, despite an increased chance of hereditary disabilities being passed to offspring. Read more at: http://phys.org/news/2015-06-vulnerability-human-early-ancestors-disability.html#jCp

CARTA: Culture-Gene Interactions: Peter Richerson-Culture-led Gene-culture Coevolution
(Visit: http://www.uctv.tv/) In the classic nature-nurture dichotomy, nature has a stronger or weaker influence on nurture, but certainly nurture was supposed to have no impact on nature. Human culture is often taken to be a form of nurture. However, culture itself has evolutionary properties. In particular, culture generates novel environments that in turn select for novel genes. A few dramatic cases of this effect are well known and many more are suspected. Peter Richerson, UC Davis, explains why the nature-nurture dichotomy is an impediment to clear thinking and should be abandoned.
