The Interval presents Lewis Dartnell: ORIGINS - How Earth’s history shaped human history Check-in begins 6:30pm; talk starts at 7:30pm at The Interval
From the cultivation of the first crops to the founding of modern states, the human story is the story of environmental forces, from plate tectonics and climate change, to atmospheric circulation and ocean currents.
Professor Lewis Dartnell takes us into the planet’s deep past, where history becomes science, and explores a web of connections that underwrites our modern world in order to face the challenges of the future.
