Episode 56 – The Evolution of Evolutionary Theory  
Podcast: The Common Descent Podcast
Published On: Sun Mar 10 2019
Description: One of the main themes of this podcast is the evolutionary history of life. This concept is familiar to all of us today, but our current understanding of evolution is the culmination of a very long history of scientific inquiry. In this episode, we’ll introduce you to some of the biggest names in this story, from Aristotle to Darwin, as we explore the evolution of evolutionary theory. In the news: tiny frogs, an ancient nesting ground, algae evolution, and a tusked sea cow.
