Our Neanderthal/Homo sapiens talk will be postponed till January. We are rescheduling Tamás Dávid-Barrett's talk on his recent book for this date.
Gendered Species: A Natural History of Patriarchy offers a reframing of our species’ current debate about gender norms. It shows why behavioural norms are different for women than for men in all societies, why these rules vary across cultures, and why they change through time. Although random cultural differences, institutions, and power structures play a role, these all have their roots in ecological factors and evolved social behaviour. The book provides a science-based, non-political, and calm assessment of the evolution and variation of gender norms. It explores how humans became the only gendered species, why our ancestors were mostly gender equal, and how that gave rise to patriarchal systems all around the world within merely a few thousand years.
Dr. Tamás Dávid-Barrett is an evolutionary behavioural scientist at the University of Oxford, who works on the structural microfoundations theory of the society, of which his scholarship on gender norms is part. His science is multi-disciplinary, occupying the overlap between anthropology, biology, economics, sociology, psychology, and network science. Tamás is a fellow of the Royal Anthropological Institute.
He will be speaking LIVE in the Daryll Forde Seminar Room, 2nd Floor of UCL Anthropology Dept. Come in good time by 6:30pm before doors close please. You can also join on ZOOM ID 384 186 2174 passcode Wawilak
