55. Writing Life From Scratch: Time Travel, Neanderthals and the Future of Species with Adrian Woolfson

What if the dodo never really disappeared? What if a Neanderthal walking into a university lecture hall today wouldn't be that different from the rest of us?My guest this week is Adrian Woolfson — founder of Genyro and author of "On the Future of Species" — a scientist who has spent his life asking a wild question: what happens when humans stop just reading DNA, and start writing it?We talk about DNA as a four-letter language, why biology is about to become infrastructure the way steel did in the 19th century, and why Adrian believes we've already become time travelers — because once you can navigate the infinite space of all possible genomes, time only runs when you actually build something.We also get into the hard stuff: the ethical lines Adrian refuses to cross, why he changed his mind about resurrecting extinct human species, and whether we're heading toward two futures — one transhuman, one that goes back to nature — or if both can coexist.This one will stretch your brain. Grab a coffee beautiful humans.Stay curious. Question everything.#MizterRadShow #FutureOfHumanity_____Adrian's company Genyro: https://www.genyro.com/Adrian's book "On the Future of Species: BloomsburyEpisode with Transcripts: ⁠⁠https://www.mizter-rad.com/episodes⁠
