Description
Evolution is usually thought of a slow, undetected process, happening over hundreds, even millions of years. But when humans enter the picture, whether they apply new insecticides, over-fish or dump pollutants, evolution accelerates changes in nature ... to the point where humans now must devise ways to stop or reverse the process. Producer Barbara Bogaev presents three cases where just by making one move, we’ve inadvertently produced a counter effect. Joined by noted evolution scientist and marine biologist Steve Palumbi of Stanford University, Evolution Boomerang looks at insecticide resistant cotton boll worms, Atlantic salmon with manipulated genetic traits and promiscuous bacteria that is adapting to toxic PCB’s.
