内容提要：
What is the likelihood that humans will evolve in the future to have multiple faces and arms, resembling the Asura statue? Modern biology cannot provide a definitive answer, but it is generally believed that the possibility is low. Research into the evolutionary history of animals has shown that the basic anatomical structures of animals are resistant to change. But what evolutionary mechanisms lead to such limited diversity? In this presentation, I would like to introduce the latest findings on the relationship between the processes of body development (embryogenesis) and evolution, as well as the evolutionary mechanisms that limits the evolutionary diversification, and collectively ponder the mysteries of evolutionary developmental biology.
讲者简介：
Dr. Naoki Irie is a professor and deputy director of Research Center for Integrative Evolutionary Science, SOKENDAI, Japan. He earned his doctorate in Medicine from Kyoto University in 2008 and completed postdoctoral research with Prof. Shigeru Kuratani RIKEN, Japan. He has been working on the general law of embryonic evolution in the field of Evolutionary Developmental Biology, or EvoDevo. By focusing on Chordates and Echinoderms, he and his international teams found that the developmental hourglass model can be the most attractive formulation for the general relationship between ontogeny (embryogenesis) and phylogeny (evolution), which led to a re-evaluation of the field started by Karl Ernst Haeckel in 19th century.
