Darwin@LSE's public lecture series aims to make the exciting developments in evolutionary theory available to a wide audience. The first series of lectures ran from 1995 to 1998. They included talks by John Maynard Smith, Robert Trivers, John Tooby, Leda Cosmides, Steven Pinker, Martin Daly, Margo Wilson, Matt Ridley, Daniel Dennett, Peter Singer, Paul Ekman and David Buss. The second series of lectures began in 2005, with talks by Richard Dawkins and Simon Baron-Cohen.
We have now compiled a comprehensive archive of all our past events, with links to the media articles that they inspired. We hope that this unrivalled collection will further the aims of the original Darwin Seminars by providing an indispensable resource for anyone with an interest in human nature – from students to scientists, from journalists to artists, from beginners to experts.
