Richard Lenski

Richard Lenski is a pioneering evolutionary biologist best known for his long-term experiment with bacteria. Over decades, he has studied how bacteria evolve and adapt to their environment by growing them in controlled conditions. His work has provided detailed insights into the process of evolution, showing how genetic changes lead to new traits over time. By observing these real-time changes, Lenski's research deepens our understanding of evolution's mechanisms, emphasizing its capacity for continuous innovation in living organisms.
