Waarom zijn de meeste dieren symmetrisch?

What this episode covers

Als je erover nadenkt, is het toch gek: 2 ogen, 2 oren, 2 armen, 2 benen en een neus en een mond mooi in het midden... wij zijn allemaal (min of meer) symmetrisch opgebouwd. En nog gekker...is dat zowat alle dieren symmetrisch lijken. Is dat toevallig? Of zit er een evolutionair systeem achter? En zijn er uitzonderingen? "Nee, ja en ja", is het antwoord van professor Stefan Van Dongen, bioloog aan de Universiteit van Antwerpen. Aan de podcasttafel van Koen Fillet geeft hij er nog wat méér uitleg bij.Presentatie: Koen FilletGastspreker: Stefan Van DongenRedactie: Alexander Van VlierbergheEindredactie: Katleen BrackeMontage: Wederik De BackerDeze podcast is mogelijk dankzij de medewerking van KU Leuven, UAntwerpen, UGent, UHasselt, VUB en de Jonge Academie en komt tot stand met de steun van VRT, de spelers van de Nationale Loterij en de Vlaamse overheid.
