Prof. Lewis Dartnell is best known as one of the UK’s most popular science communicators with multiple bestselling books addressing topics as wide as the possibilities of life in the Universe to how humanity could rebuild civilisation after an extinction-level event.
He comes to #TDC23 to talk about the unseen ways that geology has impacted the course of humanity. From the pecularities of the equator in East Africa to the formation of the Mediterranean Ocean to coal deposits in the UK. You’ll be surprised to learn the Earth’s role in shaping humanity from our origins right through to present day.
