In the Light of Evolution III: Two Centuries of Darwin – Sackler Colloquium

This is a series of papers from a recent Sackler colloquium of the National Academy of Sciences entitled “In the Light of Evolution III: Two Centuries of Darwin“. You can watch most of the presentations online here. The conference papers are published in a supplemental issue of the PNAS.

I read Daniel Dennett‘s paper because of my personal interest. He is a philosopher in science. In his paper, he provides a simple overview on why it is not necessary to have an intelligent designer to make complicated biological machines.
