Powerful Genes – The Miracle of Human Adaptation

Exploring humanity’s journey through evolution and what the future holds for our species in an ever-changing world.

Modern humans have existed for about 200,000 years. But instead of stagnating, we continue to evolve. Again and again, our species makes small but sustainable “evolutionary updates.” We take a journey through human evolutionary history and discover how we’ve adapted to our environment over time. And we look to the future: Will we be able to adapt evolutionarily to our world in the future? Are we and our genes at the mercy of technology and climate change? Has evolution ended?
