Simon Conway Morris, Paleontologist & Evolutionary Biologist

2026 Templeton Prize Laureate

Simon Conway Morris has spent his career asking one of science’s most unsettling questions: What if evolution keeps arriving at the same answers? His work on the Cambrian explosion and convergent evolution suggests life isn’t random — it’s remarkably predictable.

Filmed on location in Cambridge, England.
