You Can Fix Your DNA... Starting Now (feat. Nobel Prize Winner)
- Well, it's kind of profound, I think, because if you start imagining what you can do when you have that kind of capability to manipulate DNA sequences, it's everything from changing the ability of crops to resist drought or to produce more tomatoes, to changing sequences in a human embryo that alter heritable traits that get passed on for future generations.

- And to me, and I think in general, it's a very different set of concerns when you're thinking about changing DNA in an individual, which of course has safety and ethical considerations, but nothing like if we're changing DNA in a heritable way, in embryos.

What is Evolution?
- In biology, evolution can be defined as any change in the heritable traits (those are physical traits like fur color in mice, spots on the wings of butterflies or instinctive behaviors like the way that dogs greet their friends with a sniff,) within a population across generations.

Darwin's Theory of Evolution: Natural Selection
- If these particular traits are also heritable, that is, passed from parent to offspring, then there will be a reproductive advantage, and that's what modern evolutionary theory defines as fitness.
