How bacteria run the planet: Lynn Margulis’ theory of symbiogenetic evolution

This semester’s last kitchen STS session takes place on July 10th, at 6pm – just this once not in the kitchen area but in room PEG 2.G 107. We will discuss the work of Lynn Margulis, more specifically the Gaia hypothesis she formulated togehter with James Lovelock and her concept of symbiogenesis as an alternative to the (neo) Darwinist theory of evolution.

Looking forward to seeing many of you next week’s session – which we will round off with some semester closing drinks in the Sommergarten afterwards!
