Darwin Day Celebration Lecture 2011

The School of Psychology is proud to present our sixth annual Darwin Day Celebration Lecture, to be given by Nicholas Humphrey of LSE on Monday 7 March at 7.00pm. In "Soul Dust: The Magic of Consciousness", Prof Humphrey will outline his startling new theory of consciousness: how is it possible? What biological purpose does it serve? Why do we value it so highly?
