The highly anticipated computer game Spore was released this weekend. Players start with a single-cell organism that evolves and moves from sea to land — and eventually to explore space. We discuss what Spore teaches us about evolution and how life might develop on other planets.
Guests:
Seth Shostak, senior astronomer at the SETI Institute
Tierny Thys, marine biologist and National Geographic emerging explorer
Will Wright, game designer and creator of Spore, Sim City and The Sims
