Philosophy Session
The Paragon of Animals
Nicholas Humphrey, Ken Binmore, Eva Aldea and Nick Maxwell. David Malone chairs.
Darwin's Origin of Species appears to ally evolution with advance, and as humans we place ourselves at the top of the tree. But is evolution progress or simply change for good or ill? Have we transcended our animal nature, or is this a dangerous illusion?
Evolutionary psychologist Nicholas Humphrey and evolutionary game theorist Ken Binmore clash with cultural critic Eva Aldea and philosopher of science Nick Maxwell.
Earlybird price: £4
Advance price: £6.00
Full-price: £8.00
