Adaptation

Humans adapt to physical and creative challenges in remarkable ways. How do we do it, and what happens when we can't? After the news, five TED speakers share inspiring stories about our capacity to adapt.

Christopher McDougall: How Did Endurance Help Early Humans Survive?
Daniel Kish: How Can You See Without Seeing?
Rich Benjamin: What Is A 'Whitopia' — And What Might It Mean To Live There?
Janet Echelman: How Did A Mishap Lead To An Artist's Best Work?
