Geneticist Dr. Steve Jones' latest book
"Darwin's Ghost" is an update of Charles Darwin's "On The Origin of Species". In it, Jones restates Darwin's argument in modern terms and adds new material from what we have learned since. He believes the AIDS virus is a perfect example of evolution in the way it has adapted to different environments. Also, the huge variety of dog breeds we have is another illustration of modern-day evolution.
He also comments on the human genome project, cloning, antibiotic-resistant bacteria and genetically modified foods. (Originally aired June 2001)
