[lg policy] Fwd: FW: [historicalmaterialism] Radical Anthropology talks in London

[Dave Sayers]

This email was forwarded on to me and I thought the talks might be of interest to 
London-based list members, perhaps an informative tangent to lg policy research.

*Radical Anthropology talks, Spring 2016*

/Mythology as a window into other worlds/

*Tuesdays, 6.45–9.00pm*

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 who just want to learn about anthropology. There is always time for questions 
and discussion after each talk and there are good local pubs for those wishing to 
socialise into the evening.
