Reconciling Altruism and ‘The Selfish Gene’

A presentation by James Fradgley

What do we mean by ‘altruism’ and how can we explain this type of behaviour if we are simply machines created by our selfish genes?

In this illustrated presentation, scientist James Fradgley looks for answers in an intriguing variety of places including genetics, statistics, multicellular organisms, social structures, philosophical dilemmas and religion.

Join us for “a fascinating introduction to how our genes influence behaviour”.

Free entry (donations appreciated).     Everyone welcome!
