Homo sapiens: An incredible story of migration, vulnerability and resilience
Our species, Homo sapiens, originated in Africa about 300,000 years ago, ultimately spreading around the world in multiple waves.
The understanding of our origin story and the timing and pathways of our migrations around the globe is changing owing to new field explorations and innovative scientific studies.
Today, there are 8 billion humans, and we are now responsible for shaping our planet's ecosystems in an unprecedented fashion, leading to a series of environmental and social crises.
During the Dart Forum, world-leading scientists will examine what we know about our evolution, examining our resilience to past crises, while exploring our vulnerabilities in the past and today.
