Is natural selection still shaping humans, given that our survival is often more dependent on technology than genes? What might our species look like 1000 years from now?

Along with Sue Blackmore (psychologist, writer and Visiting Lecturer at the University of the West of England, Bristol) and Andrew Pomiankowski (Professor of Genetics, University College London), the famous NN blogger Henry Gee will be debating if human evolution is still going on. The discussion will be chaired by Oliver Morton. The Nature Darwin Debate 1: Are we Still Evolving? will take place in Hall One at NPG’s neighbour, Kings Place. More details here.

Snippet: Hall One, which looks like this (the piano is usually absent during The Nature Debates), is veneered in wood from a single 500-year-old German oak tree.
