Nature, Nurture or Neither?


A lecture by Professor Steve Jones


The more we know about genetics, the more important environment seems to be. Professor Steve Jones, University College London geneticist and popular science writer, looks at the implications for our big obsessions: obesity, IQ, the education system, and sporting ability.

Professor Steve Jones will be touring New Zealand in November as guest of the Allan Wilson Centre for Molecular Ecology and Evolution.

Wednesday 20 November,
Embassy Theatre, Courtenay Place
6pm
$15 for general public
$10 Royal Society members and students (with ID)

Tickets can be purchased from www.allanwilsoncentre.ac.nz or at the Embassy on the night
