Besides being fascinating, the computer graphics are adorable!

A floppy disc! How quaint!

;^D

Seriously, though, thanks for continuing to post these links. No matter how old the show is, the material and questions posed are still current. And sadly, there are still people misinterpreting "The Selfish Gene"...

But those are 875mm disks. In 1987 they were extremely modern.

Oooh, thanks!
That was fascinating. Imagine my excitement, I am in the middle of reading Chapter 12 of The Selfish Gene 30th anniversary edition, which is "Nice guys finish first".

Wonderful and very interesting explanation of the Prisoner's Dilemma, I would also recommend reading Axelrod's "The Evolution of Cooperation", with a foreword by Richard Dawkins.

Hi all,

I`ve seen the video, but english is not my mother language. I would like so much to find a transcript of this video so that I can make a subtitle in portuguese.
May anyone help me in this way ? I`ve looked for it, but found none.

Thanks in advance!
