Hybrids. When two unlikely bedfellows combine, is the result a uneasy mishmash which is neither fish nor fowl? Or are such hybrids exciting products of rigorous and dynamic fusion? Professor Steve Jones looks at hybridisation as it takes place in the arts and in science: from music and cookery to genetic modification and cross-breeding in nature. He investigates the mechanisms by which these variations come into existence and concludes the series with the startling question: is it possible for evolution to continue for ever - or not?
