Wired for culture

Mark Pagel will tell the story of how our success as a species has in fact depended on our facility for culture.


The existence of our amazingly diverse cultures has always been seen as a product of geography combined with our inherent traits of consciousness, empathy, language and our extraordinary intelligence. But Mark Pagel thinks we’ve had it the wrong way round. Using the latest research in evolutionary biology and mathematical and statistical modelling, he will tell the story of how our success as a species has in fact depended on our facility for culture.
