About this talk
Adam Rutherford and David Olusoga come to the Intelligence Squared stage to mark the tenth anniversary of A Brief History of Everyone Who Ever Lived. Together, they'll explore how advances in DNA research have transformed our understanding of human history, and discuss what a decade of new discoveries has revealed about our past. From Neanderthals to the plague, from redheads to race, from evolution to epigenetics, they will discuss what our genes can tell us about human history and our ancestors. Together, they will dispel some common myths, challenging misconceptions about race and ancestry, and consider the profound consequences of the Human Genome Project. You can buy a copy of the new fully updated and revised 10th anniversary edition of A Brief History of Everyone Who Ever Lived with your ticket. Copies will also be available to purchase on the night (RRP £12.99).
