Christa Kuljian will be giving a public lecture on her book Darwin’s Hunch: Science, Race, and the Search for Human Origins.

Darwin’s hunch in 1871 was that humans evolved in Africa, but very few European scientists agreed. In the book, Kuljian examines current thinking and approaches to the ongoing search and explains why for much of the past century so many scientists were reluctant to accept Darwin’s Hunch.

Join Kuljian as she discusses the history and current status of the search for human origins, and the influence of changing social and political contexts on research and scientists.
