Darwinism and the study of evolution are what guide biologists in their study of life. J. Scott Turner, a professor at the SUNY College of Environmental Science & Forestry, joins guest host Lauren Silverman for a conversation about biology’s still unanswered questions. His new book is called “Purpose & Desire: What Makes Something ‘Alive’ and Why Modern Darwinism Has Failed to Explain It” (HarperOne).
