Thursday, 29. August

First come first serve

This deep dive conversation will explore what we can learn from our ancestors, in particular the Neanderthals, in relation to the current crises of the world. Gain insights on how we have come to define ourselves as humanity based on past evolutions, and on what superpowers we have inherited from our ancestors. What can we learn about the risks of extinction but also about our ancestors’ incredible feat of “conquering” the world? 

 

//INFO: The session will begin with the short film High Hopes (Amir Mrzae, FR 2023, 2:45 min), offering an artistic perspective on the topic of discussion.
