From the beginning: the history of evolutionary theory and the history of life itself
Most people associate the concept of evolution with Charles Darwin or perhaps to Alfred Wallace, but there have been almost 170 years of further work since, much of which the general public are not aware of. In this talk Dr Rich Boden, Associate Professor of Microbial Physiology and Taxonomy at Plymouth University, will begin at the origins of life itself, long before even cells first appeared, and take us forwards through time to the present day with the advent of cellular life, then organelles and then multicellular life. In parallel to the history of life, he will tell us about the history of evolutionary theory. This is a talk suitable for all with no scientific background assumed!
