Are We the Last Neanderthals?
Published on Dec 12, 2013
Neanderthals fascinate us: so much like us, yet not quite us. We have long known that they overlapped with modern humans in prehistoric Europe, but recent genetic evidence suggests widespread interbreeding of the two groups. University of Wisconsin biological anthropologist John Hawks is at the forefront of this species-shaking research. He presents the latest findings from the lab and field and discusses what may or may not make us uniquely human.
This program is presented in partnership with the Center for the Humanities and the Institute for Research in the Humanities at the University of Wisconsin at Madison.
Video produced by Pentimenti Productions.
This program was recorded on November 2, 2013 as part of the 24th Chicago Humanities Festival, ANIMAL: http://chf.to/2013Animal

Культовый фильм. Шедевр невербального воздействия на бессознательное. Мир за гранью слов. Описать "Бараку" сложно, это нечто с захватывающим визуальным рядом и фантастическим звуковым оформлением.

Brave New World is a novel written in 1931 by Aldous Huxley and published in 1932. Set in London of AD 2540 (632 A.F.—"After Ford"—in the book), the novel anticipates developments in reproductive technology, sleep-learning, psychological manipulation, and classical conditioning that combine profoundly to change society. Huxley answered this book with a reassessment in an essay, Brave New World Revisited (1958), and with Island (1962), his final novel.
