A Question of Science Series 2 - Coming Soon...

Professor Brian Cox takes a deeper dive into the science of ancient DNA, with two experts returning to answer more of your questions.

How far can we go back in time using DNA? How accurate is ancient DNA when it comes to understanding our past? Why was diversity in DNA vital for the survival of early humans? Do we really share 60% of our genetic code with bananas?

Professor Brian Cox takes a deeper dive into the science of fertility, with a panel of returning experts answering more of your questions. 


Should we sequence the DNA of embryos and use A.I. to choose which to implant? Are ultra-processed foods and microplastics really effecting fertility? And will new technologies mean humans could one day reproduce like squid?
