Nathan H. Lents: Human Errors
Date/Time: Friday 8 March, 2pm-3pm
Venue: Al Ras 2, InterContinental, DFC
Language: English
Session No: 80
We humans like to think of ourselves as highly evolved creatures. But if we are supposedly evolution’s greatest creation, why do we have such bad knees?
As professor of biology Nathan H. Lents explains in Human Errors, our evolutionary history is nothing if not a litany of mistakes. As Lents shows, humans have so many design flaws precisely because we are very, very good at getting around them.
This enlightening and entertaining talk reveals the defects of body and brain that define humanity.
