Mankind, now so abundant, has for long parts of its history been reduced to tiny numbers, and almost to extinction.
I will talk about the evidence for this, about how we reached our present enormous abundance, and what the future of the human population might be.
This is a free public lecture by Professor Steve Jones, Visiting Gresham Professor of Genetics.
There is no need to book in advance for this lecture. It runs on a first come first served basis.
