The joy of sects: re-writing the Bible as a scientific textbook

Steve Jones will discuss the overlap between new work on genetic predisposition with the ancient idea of inborn human frailty, of original sin.


The Bible was the first scientific textbook. The double helix and the mushroom cloud have joined the Cross, the Crescent and the Star of David as global icons. Steve Jones will discuss the overlap between new work on genetic predisposition with the ancient idea of inborn human frailty, of original sin, in fields as distinct as sport, obesity and crime.For more information and to book visit www.rigb.org
