Working alongside the British Council’s Darwin Now programme and in collaboration with both the Charles Darwin Trust and John Murray family (ancestor of the original publishers) the Talking without Borders series continues with a debate celebrating the anniversary of the publication of one of the most groundbreaking works of all time: Charles Darwin’s ‘On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection’.
Hosted in the historic Faraday lecture theatre at the Royal Institution of Great Britain, the event brings together a panel of leading figures from the field of evolutionary science and beyond to look at “global Darwinism”, assessing the impact of Darwin’s big idea and exploring how his theory has embedded itself in public consciousness to form the basis for our modern understanding of life.
If you would like to join us at the Royal Institution for the debate, a number of tickets will be made available online prior to the day. Further details of this will be confirmed here in the near future.
The debate will also be streamed “as live” on the web throughout 24 November 2009 so people across the world can share and contribute to the celebration of a truly global idea.
