Superior: The Return of Race Science

Thursday 12 September, 7:30pm

We are delighted to host award-winning science journalist, author and broadcaster Angela Saini in conversation with Financial Times science columnist Anjana Ahuja.
As ethnic nationalism rises around the world, race science is experiencing a revival, fuelled by the abuse of data and facts by politically-motivated groups. The story of who humans are and how we evolved is being rewritten to suit their agendas.
In Superior, award-winning author Angela Saini explores the concept of race, from its origins to the present day.
