This episode of ID the Future features the third in a series of interviews with Dr. Paul Nelson on common descent. Listen in as Dr. Nelson continues his analysis of the evidence for common ancestry by examining the single-tree picture of common ancestry and how this picture is affected by the newly discovered diversity of genetic sequences.

Nelson is currently a Senior Fellow of Discovery Institute's Center for Science and Culture and Adjunct Professor in the Master of Arts Program in Science & Religion at Biola University. He is a philosopher of biology who has been involved in the intelligent design debate internationally for three decades. His grandfather, Byron C. Nelson (1893-1972), a theologian and author, was an influential mid-20th century dissenter from Darwinian evolution. After Paul received his B.A. in philosophy with a minor in evolutionary biology from the University of Pittsburgh, he entered the University of Chicago, where he received his Ph.D. (1998) in the philosophy of biology and evolutionary theory.
