UCL Town Meeting on Human Evolution

UCL has a long tradition of many excellent scientists and social scientists working on human evolution ? but we are scattered across different departments and faculties. Come and get involved in a centre where we can exchange ideas, collaborate, increase our visibility, give public lectures, generate new research initiatives and answer big questions such as: - Why do different human cultures exist, have different cultural norms and often engage in conflict, art and religion? What can new genetic data and bioinformatics tell us about the history of human migrations and expansions? What is the evolutionary basis of the human lifecourse and what are the implications for adapting to modern lifestyles and ageing populations? - There is almost no other area that lends itself to cross-disciplinary study more than the study of human evolution. Please join our discussion about how to promote research in these areas at UCL. This event is supported by UCL?s Grand Challenge of Human Wellbeing. 6.30pm, 2 December 2009 - UCL Archaeology Lecture Theatre - 31?34 Gordon Square, WC1 Followed by a reception - UCL Anthropology Staff Common Room - 14 Taviton Street, WC1H To register, use the link at the top of this article. more
