How have flowers shaped the modern world? Why do we and many other species have such intimate and long-term relationships with them?
On this special episode, we talk with David George Haskell, a writer and biologist. We discuss his most recent book, How Flowers Made our World, which explores the creative powers of flowering plants. Big Biology blogger and Biology PhD student, Clayton Glasgow, interviews David as an outreach project for the Young Voices of Science program. They discuss how flowers have played key roles in many ecosystems, the genomic innovations that underpinned the success of flowering plants, and the significant relationship between humans and flowers.
