Join Dr Katie Davis from the Department of Biology, University of York, for a fascinating humanist talk exploring the evolutionary journey from ancient fossils to modern feathers. How did modern birds emerge from theropod dinosaurs? This talk explores 150 million years of avian history, exploring how key fossil discoveries and shifting family trees have helped us understand the transition from the ground to the sky.

This accessible and thought-provoking talk celebrates curiosity, critical thinking, and the power of science to illuminate our shared origins. Whether you’re passionate about evolution, fascinated by dinosaurs and birds, or simply interested in how evidence shapes our understanding of life, this event offers a compelling look at humanity’s place within the wider family of living things.

All are welcome. No prior scientific knowledge required—just a sense of wonder.

The event is free to attend, but if you are able to make a small donation this really helps us to put on more events like this in the future. Look forward to seeing you there!
