Darwin in London: Lecture

Location: UCL Anatomy Building, JZ Young Lecture Theatre
16th Annual Grant Lecture
(and it's an 'Inaugural Lecture')
Everyone knows Darwin lived in central London early in his career. In his inaugural lecture as Professor of History and Philosophy of Biology, Joe Cain will explore that period. We’ll pay close attention to daily life and its locations around town. What does local history add to the biography of a scientist? We’ll identify local Darwin landmarks and link some key Darwin stories to a bit of recently discovered material. Some of this proved quite unexpected.
This event is run in association with UCL Grant Museum of Zoology and the Centre for Ecology and Evolution.
