He is distinguished McKnight University Professor of Philosophy and Winton Chair in the Liberal Arts at the University of Minnesota, as well as director of the Minnesota Center for Philosophy of Science. And today we're going to focus on topics such as developmental biology, evo devo approaches in biology. Involvability Evolutionary novelties and some other related topics. So, Dr. Love, welcome to the show. It's a pleasure to have you one.

Thank you for having me. So let me start by asking you What is developmental biology? Because of course on the show I've already talked with many. evolutionary biologists, but not so much with developmental biologists. So what is this discipline about?

So developmental biology is the scientific discipline that studies or how organisms grow and mature from the sort of earliest stages Say as fertilizers.
