Perhaps the most famous example of observed evolution in a species is that of the Peppered Moth, which largely turned black in some English cities during the Industrial Revolution so as to use soot-covered trees as camouflage, and then turned back to their natural grey colour upon the advent of cleaner fuels.This demonstrates natural selection, but it also shows the impact of human activity on the species around us, and that impact has only increased and intensified in the 21st century…Patrick Greenfield is a Biodiversity and Environment Reporter for the Guardian and the Observer who has been writing about this. He joins Seán to discuss.

On today's program Rev. Warren Woerth and Gary Duncan discuss the Peppered Moth and natural selection.
Guess what, Amber? Do you know what inchworms turn into because they're caterpillars? They turn into butterflies or moths! Inchworms specifically turn into Geometer moths, which is a very large family of moths with over 23,000 species. A well-known Geometer moth is the peppered moth, which I bet you don't remember the name, but remember learning about them in Biology class.Inchworms are cute, and you've probably seen them dangling from threads in the forest. If you're lucky enough, you might have even found one on yourself. Inchworms however, are generally regarded as a pest that can be hard to get rid of, which is why biological controls are commonly used against them. The biological control just happens to be terrifying parasitic wasps, and be glad you aren't an inchworms cause you don't have to worry about parasitic wasps laying their eggs inside of you.We end the episode with the Rosy Maple Moth, a North American moth that is the smallest of the great silk moths. Listen now to learn about Inchworms, Parasitic Wasps, Peppered Moths, and the cute little Rosy Maple Moth.For more information on us, visit our website at betterthanhumanpodcast.comFollow us on Twitter @betterthanhuma1on Facebook @betterthanhumanpodcaston Instagram @betterthanhumanpodcasthttps://www.tiktok.com/@betterthanhumanpodcastor Email us at betterthanhumanpodcast@gmail.comWe look forward to hearing from you, and we look forward to you joining our cult of weirdness!#betterthanhuman #cultofweirdnes

This is the most common question associated with misunderstandings in the concepts of evolution. So what is evolution? What are the misunderstandings surrounding the subject? How does the whole monkey thing work? Join hosts Shanti and Danny as they talk again with synthetic biologist Dr. Sonya Iverson about the misconceptions and mysteries surrounding evolution.ReferenceDarwin, C., Kebler, L.; On the Origin of Species: By Means of Natural Selection.

There are light, dark, and in-between shades of the peppered moth isn’t evolution! It’s just natural selection. The variety of moth color was already there.
Darwinian evolution claims to have the explanatory power and the evidence to fully explain life's apparent design. Dr. Ray Bohlin explores the evidence.

This week we're exploring how populations come by their genes including the surprise finding of African DNA in a remote village in Yorkshire. Oxford University's Bruce Winney explains how studying rural populations in Britain is helping to uncover genes linked to different diseases, and Turi King, from Leicester University, discusses what your Y chromosome says about your surname. Plus we'll be hearing how Cambridge scientist Mike Majerus is putting evolution to the test with the help of the peppered moth, and in kitchen science, more jam tomorrow as Ben and Dave show you a trick with a...
