The University of Queensland and ABC Science present CAFÉ SCIENTIFIC The Irish Club, 175 Elizabeth St, Brisbane Wed 5 May, 7pm-9pm FREE ENTRY
“Manthropology – The science of the inadequate modern male”
Is modern man evolution’s greatest mistake? Why do we fail to measure up to men of the distant past?
Could your husband, brother or father be the worst man in history? University of Queensland-trained anthropologist Peter McAllister claims that today’s man isn’t a patch on what he once was: that despite his huge brain, the modern bloke fails to measure up physically, creatively and emotionally with men of the distant past.
Join the author of ‘Manthropology: the science of the inadequate modern male’ and other experts for a lively debate and discover why ancient men were smarter and stronger, and what the future holds for this once-mighty gender.
The bar will be open, so come down for a drink and a chat with some anthropologists, evolutionary biologists and Bernie Hobbs from New Inventors.
Presented by UQ Science to celebrate The University of Queensland’s centenary
PETER McALLISTER is an anthropologist who studied at The University of Queensland. For his latest book, he gathered evidence form archaeology, evolutionary psychology and ancient history to expose the unpleasant truth: modern man is sadly inadequate.
BERNIE HOBBS is a science broadcaster, environmentalist and a judge on the ABC’s New Inventors program and was originally a Queenslander.
More guest s to be announced soon.
‘Manthropology: the science of the inadequate modern male’ by Peter McAllister is published through Hachette Australia http://www.hachette.com.au/books/9780733623912.html
