Talks and interviews by forest ecologist Suzanne Simard — mother trees, mycorrhizal networks, and the wood wide web.
…not isolated from each other. And now I think what my work and other people's work, it's not just my work, but Lynn Margulis and James Lovelock and other people who have studied endosymbiosis and actually, you know, even genomes of humans where we see…
…Is there a brain out there in the universe? I think, you know, I really, to me, I really love how James Lovelock and Lynn Margulis talked about the biosphere as a self-regulating system. You know, I think that it, I think it is. I mean, we have lots…
…there was a lot of additional hypotheses that were also proven that cooperation is also part of survival. So Lynn Margulis, for example, a famous evolutionary ecologist, a scientist, discovered symbioses between the microorganisms and, for example, other cells…
…there's more evidence of collaboration in nature than competition and he's not the only one that has said that. Lynn Margulis also said that many great biologists and thinker evolutionary ecologists have said this very thing. Even Darwin himself acknowledged…

…disrupted to ecological theory because there was so much emphasis on competition. And there were a few scientists like Lynn Margulis, who was out there, who was talking about the endosymbiotic theory and about collaboration and co-evolution, but really her…
…by themselves. Just as nature banks on diversity and builds from the bottom up, it rewards cooperation. As microbiologist Lynn Margulis put it, Earth is a symbiotic planet, revealing another piece of the ecological parable puzzle. Simard's research has further…
…not that the theories of natural selection are wrong, it's just that this collaboration is important too. And later scientists, Lynn Margulis was always someone I admired and she sort of came up with the endosymbiotic theory showing that actually evolution…
…we know more that collaboration and co-evolution has also been very long important. So, you know, people like Dr. Lynn Margulis developed what's called the endosymbiotic theory, where creatures or organisms co-evolve together. And that's what led to the…
