Two leading pioneers in the field of cognition discuss the sea change that is underway in consciousness and evolution: Michael Levin is 10 years ahead of multiple fields in biology, producing extraordinary breakthroughs in limb regeneration, cancer, and bioengineering.

The intersection of their ideas promises a universe of new possibilities grounded in testable hypotheses and solid engineering.
