SUMMARY:The Ancestor’s Tale
DESCRIPTION:The human genome was published in 2004. Richard Dawkins published the first edition of ‘The Ancestor’s Tale’ in the same year\, sharing new discoveries about life coming out as a result of unlocking DNA sequences and educating people about evolutionary biology in general. The popular science book continues to be updated and now has over 70 editions in many languages. \nWhile retaining the spirit of the ‘recipe’ that ‘The Ancestor’s Tale’ follows\, I have added a few ‘ingredients’ of my own\, including placing human evolution in context with geologic history\, which constantly shapes and occasionally upends evolution\, adding additional information about the history of life\, separating the highlights of what we need to take away from how evolution works\, and reversing the order of how information is presented in the book in an effort to aid viewers less acquainted with the subjects. \nThe history of life and how humans came to be is one of the most fascinating stories that our species can share with each other and one that continues to evolve as we learn more\, though ironically a story that that may be shared less these days in circles uncomfortable with the concept of change or exploration of our past. \nThis is a story I am most interested in\, but which brings together so many fields of science that I am hoping you will join me at the amphitheater this Saturday to make sure I get it all correct!
