SKIN: ITS BIOLOGY IN BLACK AND WHITE
The Palaeontological Scientific Trust (PAST) holds its annual lecture in partnership with the Standard Bank on 19 September 2012. The lecture, entitled 'Skin: its biology in black and white', is to be presented by Nina Jablonski, Professor of Anthropology at the Pennsylvania State University.
Skin colour is a biological characteristic loaded with cultural meaning. The establishment of hierarchies of races based on preconceived notions of hierarchies of colour is a myth that has influenced the course of human history more adversely than any other. Understanding how skin colour evolved and came to have social importance is relevant to human health and wellbeing and the future of human societies.
Venue: The Soweto Theatre, Jabulani Mall
Date: Wednesday, 19 September 2012 at 6.30pm
