Bones of Contention

Join Dr Alice Roberts for a worldwide tour of ancient skeletons and what they have to tell us about our ancestors. The talk will offer an insight into the new BBC2 landmark documentary, Human Journey, where she looked at some of the most famous and controversial fossils in the world, including the 'hobbit' skeleton from Flores in Indonesia, and the fossil skulls of Peking Man, and the possible human-Neanderthal hybrid from Oase Cave in Romania.
