And how do giraffes get their giraffe-shaped thingies, whatever they are called? Would you believe the answer is… math? This is the story of a WWII wartime codebreaker and his quest to decode nature’s most beautiful patterns. Alan Turing uncovered a simple code that explains everything from stripes to spots and all the patterns in between… he was just too far ahead of his time. Only recently have biologists found evidence that his pattern-forming system Alan Turing’s notes used by permission of King’s College, Cambridge (The Turing Papers collection) Visit Dr. Natasha Ellison’s Turing Pattern Project to learn more: Turing pattern simu
