= Science Cafe: Improbable Destinies with Professor Jonathan B. Losos =

I attended a lecture by Professor Jonathan B. Losos at the Daily Planet Cafe who wrote //I// //mprobable Destinies: Fate, Chance, and the Future of Evolution//. The subject of the lecture was evolution and how the world would be different today if evolution had favored some other species. He talked about convergent evolution and divergent evolution and the effect they can have on different species, such as causing two unrelated species to have similar features or the formation of a new species. He showed us movies like The Good Dinosaur and Jurassic Park to help us understand evolution and the effect it can have in the present day.

This relates to AP Environmental Science because it explains some concepts we learned in class, such as convergent and divergent evolution, and places them in different situations to help us understand their role in shaping the world and its species.=====
