Radical Anthropology Group

    Radical Anthropology Summer talks 2024:

    Language, art, music and culture emerged in Africa over 100,000 years ago, culminating in a symbolic explosion or ‘human revolution’ whose echoes can still be heard in myths and cultural traditions from around the world. These talks are a general introduction to social and biological anthropology, ranging over fields as diverse as hunter-gatherer studies, mythology, primatology, archaeology and archaeoastronomy. Radical Anthropology brings indigenous rights activists, environmentalists, feminists and others striving for a better world together with people of all ages who just want to learn about anthropology.

    All talks are FREE, LIVE @UCLAnthropology Tuesdays 6:30 pm term time in Daryll Forde Seminar Room, 2nd Floor, Dept of Anthropology UCL, 14 Taviton St, London WC1H 0BW and on ZOOM (ID 384 186 2174 passcode Wawilak) NB May 21 is ZOOM only!
