While most of us are born with one nose, two legs, ten fingers and two eyes some of us are not. (part of the Café Scientifique series)
How different are we from people who, at first glance, appear physically dissimilar to us? And, since there is no such thing as genetic perfection and each of us carries hundreds of mutations, how does the human body work around - and hide - these misprints in our DNA?
Tonight Armand Leroi discusses physical variety and how it can help us understand human development, growth and aging.
