14:06Now PlayingIn this episode of The Poetry of Reality, Richard Dawkins revisits a 2012 conversation with South Korea’s Great Minds program. He challenges the idea of DNA as a blueprint, instead showing how it functions as a recipe or computer program. Through examples ranging from termite mounds to starling flocks, Dawkins illustrates how simple rules followed locally can create breathtaking patterns and structures. He then connects this principle to embryology, explaining how proteins, cells, and genes interact to shape a living body, all without the need for a designer.
