Tamás Dávid-Barrett book launch
Book launch and panel discussion:
Tamás Dávid-Barrett, behavioural scientist, University of Oxford
The one-hour interview will be followed by an informal discussion.
Hunter-gatherer societies were mostly organised on egalitarian lines, but after the advent of agriculture, patriarchy became dominant. What is the reason for this? And can this change in the 21st century? This is the subject of Tamás's book Gendered Species, published last year and recently translated into Hungarian.
Schedule
"The most important academic book on gender of the 21st century" - Prof. Reneé Hirschon, founder of feminist anthropology, author of Women and Property, Women as Property.
"This study invites us to rethink the behavioural basis of sexual politics. The aim is not to provoke or to please, but to offer the reader a sober, scientific framework for the history of gender norms" - Prof. Anna Rotkirch, Professor of Evolutionary Demography and Director of the Helsinki Institute of Population Studies.
"At a time when fresh narratives are needed to understand human nature, Tamás offers a new theory of gender norms, their evolution and our own gender identity" - Dijana Galijasevic (CEO and co-founder, Impact Hero).
