52 Insights: Racism & Your Genes – The Real Story

At a time when identity politics and nationalism have reared their ugly heads once again, our long held assumptions about speciation, race and skin colour are now being thrown out the window thanks to a new era of science.

The latest research into our complex biology and ancestry combine to tell an altogether different tale about who we really are.

Join us for an evening of fascinating insights into our genetic makeup as we join geneticist, author and broadcaster Adam Rutherford to talk about our evolutionary twists and turns, why the very concept of racism clashes so deeply with our DNA, and how a new science is emerging to change the nature of what it means to be human.
