Attention Nutmeggers Again

Join the talk in Westport, Connecticut about Hobbits and natural selection as part of the Westport Library lecture series. Free entry!

Tomorrow I'll be giving a talk in Westport, Connecticut, based in part on my new book on human origins. I'll be talking about Hobbits, natural selection in our own time, and more (accompanied by visuals). The talk is part of the Westport Library's excellent lecture series. It will be at 7:30 and is free. Hope to see some readers of the Loom there.
