Many creatures manipulate their fellows, their partners, their enemies and even their friends in an attempt to gain advantage for themselves.

Professor Steve Jones (Department of Genetics, Evolution & Environment at University College London) will talk about the crafty ways of living creatures from orchids to ourselves, and about how, beneath every beauty, lies a beast.

The transcript and downloadable versions of the lecture are available from the Gresham College website.
