B4520: Why do living things help each other? in Splash Fall 2015 (Nov. 07 - 08, 2015)
Darwin's theory of natural selection seems to paint a bleak picture of life, with living things in a constant struggle against each other to stay alive and reproduce. Why then is it that all around (and within) us, there are examples of organisms helping and cooperating with others? We will explore ways in which biological cooperation can develop, with a focus on cooperation between individual cells, and how that relates to the emergence of multicellular life (such as ourselves!).
