| 06/11/2008 17:00 | Trottier Symposium 2008 | Prof. Theodore Bergstrom, Prof. Manfred Milinski, Prof. Paul Seabright, Prof. Stuart West | In honor of Charles Darwin's 150th anniversary of the publication of his Theory of Natural Selection, this year's Symposium brings together an international panel of experts in economics and evolutionary biology to see what economic theory and natural selection have to say about ethics and human development. Perhaps no one has influenced knowledge of life on Earth nor the life sciences as much as Darwin (1809-1882). His theory of evolution by natural selection is now THE unifying theory of the life sciences. |
