Professor Chris Stringer: 'Origin of our species, Neanderthals and the Early Human Occupation of Britain and Europe', February 2012

Professor Chris Stringer answers some of the big questions: How can we define modern humans, and how can we recognise our beginnings in the fossil and archaeological record? How can we accurately date fossils, including ones beyond the range of radiocarbon dating? Has human evolution stopped, or are we still evolving? What can we expect from future research on our origins?

Professor Stringer's public talks are supported by the Royal Society of New Zealand. Details for booking tickets will be available in January on the Royal Society of New Zealand website.
