 The Department of Human Evolutionary Biology announces the annual  
**Julia Booms Memorial Lecture**

 **“This View of Life: Completing the Darwinian Revolution and Evolving the Future”**

 David Sloan Wilson

 Distinguished Professor of Biological Sciences and Anthropology, Binghamton University.

 Abstract: The study of evolution in relation to human affairs lags behind the study of evolution in relation to biology by about a century. The statement "Nothing about X makes sense except in the light of evolution" is already commonplace for X=biology, is becoming acceptable for X=the academic study of humans, and remains mystifying and/or threatening for X=public policy. I will provide an overview of these trends with a focus on public policy as the wise management of evolutionary processes.

 After the lecture, we hope that you will join us for a reception with Professor Wilson from 5:00 – 6:00 p.m. in the Museum of Comparative Zoology 5th Floor Lounge, located at 26 Oxford Street, Cambridge, MA 02138. Refreshments will be provided.
