In this episode, we tackle the fascinating – and confusing – subject of hybridization. What are hybrids? Why are hybrids? And if organisms can breed across subspecies and species boundaries, what does that mean for our understanding of important topics like evolution, speciation, and conservation?
In the news: saber-tooth footprints, a Cambrian filter-feeder, false extinctions, and an ancient pet trade.
