Bret Weinstein: Evolution Has a Problem and VNTRs May Be The Solution | In Vivo Ep. 36

In this deep-dive conversation, evolutionary biologist Dr. Bret Weinstein joins me to explore his groundbreaking hypothesis: that Variable Number Tandem Repeats (VNTRs) function as genomic “sliders”, numerical variables stored in non-coding DNA that allow evolution to rapidly explore adjacent forms and solve major gaps in neo-Darwinism.We discuss why evolutionary theory has stalled for decades, how VNTRs could explain fast morphological transitions (like shrew-to-bat), the adjacent possible, telomeres as proof-of-concept, and why the standard story of allelic variation may be far less powerful than we’ve been told.Bret also reacts to four original extensions I propose, including VNTRs as error-correction codes, environmental resonators, and microbiome tuning.Bret Weinstein:X / Twitter: https://x.com/BretWeinsteinDark Horse Podcast: https://darkhorsepodcast.org/Buy the book: A Hunter-Gatherer’s Guide to the 21st Century https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08WDN2RZB/?bestFormat=true&k=hunter%20gathers%20guide%20to%20the%2021st%20century&ref_=nb_sb_ss_w_scx-ent-bk-ww_k0_1_21_de&crid=2KPWO9JBHW2AN&sprefix=a%20hunter%20gather%27s%20guiIn Vivo on X - https://x.com/InVivoPodOnXIn Vivo on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@InVivoPodcast
