Hour Two: Paul Ehrlich:
Human Natures
| How much do our genes determine our behavior?
Is there such a thing as "genetic destiny?" And is evolution merely
a biological process, or is it a cultural process as well? In this
hour, we'll talk with biologist Paul Ehrlich about human natures,
how they change, and about the history and future of human evolution. |

Plus, an alarming series of reports from conference on coral reefs
taking place this week in Indonesia says that, unless action is taken
now, there may not be any reefs left in 25 years. We'll find out why
some scientists are saying that reefs are on the rocks - a combination
of human neglect, and rising ocean temperatures.
Tune in to this hour - and call in with your questions and comments.
