Friday 2nd February
Decimus Society Meeting

Sexcentenary Decimus Guest Speaker
Professor Robin Dunbar FBA

To Be Rearranged

Professor Robin Dunbar will address the society regarding the evolutionary origin of ethics.

"Professor Robin Dunbar became a biologist by accident. He is now, . . , one of the most respected evolutionary psychologists in Britain, and heads the Evolutionary Psychology and Behavioural Ecology Research Group at Liverpool University. But he had no childhood passion for animals - "Growing up in east Africa, our family had absolutely no interest in wildlife unless it was at the end of a barrel of a gun" - or science for that matter. As he tells it, he discovered science only because of his incompetence at Latin."
