Raise Your Hand if You’re a Dumbass A/K/A Tinbergen’s Four Questions
With David Sloan Wilson
In our first episode, evolutionary biologist David Sloan Wilson walks us through Tinbergen’s four questions: mechanism, function, development and evolutionary history. Ask all four about anything and you can explain why it exists. We test it on ice cream, lactose tolerance, an E. coli experiment that has run since 1988 and a Paper Plane cocktail. Andy can’t help himself from asking David about Calvinism.
