Listen to this NOVA podcast regarding evolution, development and genes. As written in their own description…
In order to develop from an embryo, animals as different as fruit flies and humans call on a nearly identical set of genes. But how does this one common genetic toolkit create so many different species? It turns out that it’s not the genes you have-it’s how you use them.
