Find Lecture:

Are human beings still evolving?

Speaker(s):   Professor Christopher Dye

Date/Time:  26/03/2009

It was thought that the dramatic extension of life spans during the 20th century eliminated natural selection, but new evidence shows that to be false.

Will selection always be natural, or could postmodern also mean posthuman?
