Title The spark that created life Degree of recognition International Media name/outlet American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) Media type Web Country/Territory United States of America Date 12/09/18 Description Evolution by Darwinian natural selection is immensely powerful - both in nature and within laboratories. Using 'laboratory evolution', we can take an enzyme which combines random mutations and functional selection, and improve its function by more than 1000 times. You can see evidence of science taking advantage of evolution across the field, from synthesised medications used to prevent the reoccurrence of heart attacks (beta blockers) to the development of tumor-targeting antibody therapeutics.
