“HUNTER-GATHERERS: THE DEVELOPMENT OF HUMAN CULTURE” with Anthony Lunn, ScD

March 23, 2024 by Robin

Watch the full platform here.

April 7th, 2024

From 300,000 years ago, when homo sapiens developed, until about 10,000 years ago, all of us were hunter-gatherers. Tony Lunn will take you on a rare visit to some of the last remaining hunter-gatherers in the world, the Hadza of Tanzania, to see how they live today. He then examines what insights their present lifestyle can give on how the earliest humans lived, and what we can infer about the development of our human culture, including cooperation, war, and religion.

Tony Lunn is a scientist with wide interests who studied Natural Sciences at Cambridge University, received a fellowship to Harvard (master’s) and then on to M.I.T. (doctorate) In his career he developed medical devices including advanced coronary stents. He is a world traveler, with particular interests in developing countries, assistance programs, indigenous peoples, and wildlife and has been a keen photographer for over 60 years.
