Is there a purpose or meaning to the human presence on earth?

This evening, we’ll explore whether our empirical discoveries about the earth and the universe hint at useful answers to this question.

To investigate this possibility, we will ask:

• Where does the human species fit into the evolutionary development of life on earth?

• What transformed us from a typical mammalian species to the planetary power we are today?

• How has the human radically altered the relationship between genetics and behavior?

• What role did symbols, language, and imagination play in the ascent of humanity?

• In what ways does evolution become conscious of itself through the human?

• Why have humanity’s special gifts proved such a challenge to the earth community?

• What does all this tell us about the special power and responsibility of humans on earth?
