Where did life come from? Prof. Shane Bergin learns about the origins of life on Earth and how Darwins “Tree of Life” might actually be a “Web of Life” and about unlocking the evolutionary secrets behind animals like bats, dogs and fruit flies. Shane explores the genetic line that connects us physically, to our ancestors and in an economic environment where genetic research is underfunded due to questions of applicability, one Irish company Equinome, is breaking the mould.
