Negotiated realities – rethinking the evolution of human language and culture

Mr Kelvin Dixon

The last decade has seen major developments in our understanding of human evolution. Bridging the gap between varied disciplines, Kelvin Dixon seeks a fresh perspective on the evolution of human culture and language through the earliest stone tools.

Doors open 7pm for a 7.30pm event start:
