Harvard Book Store, the Harvard University Division of Science, and the Harvard Library welcome ARIK KERSHENBAUM—celebrated zoologist and a fellow of Girton College, University of Cambridge—for a discussion of his latest book, The Zoologist's Guide to the Galaxy: What Animals on Earth Reveal About Aliens—and Ourselves. He will be joined in conversation with LOUIS GROSS, an Alvin and Sally Beaman Distinguished Professor of Ecology & Evolutionary Biology and Mathematics at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville.
We are unprepared for the greatest discovery of modern science. Scientists are confident that there is alien life across the universe yet we have not moved beyond our perception of 'aliens' as Hollywood stereotypes. The time has come to abandon our fixation on alien monsters and place our expectations on solid scientific footing.
Using his own expert understanding of life on Earth and Darwin's theory of evolution—which applies throughout the universe—Cambridge zoologist Dr Arik Kershenbaum explains what alien life must be like. This is the story of how life really works, on Earth and in space.
