Heredity, Thomas Hardy says, leaps over oblivion to carry forward trait and trace, through time to times anon. Yet, obliteration of life, of lives, is also an outcome. Underwater creatures snapping shrimp and bearded seals and more populate the soundscape here, alongside the ghost voice of biologist Lynn Margulis, who rails against authority, societal amnesia, and easy answers, to explain the beauty of complex entities that hold the likes of maternally-inherited mitochondria.
