Free Thinking 2012 - Mark Pagel

Published: Nov. 16, 2012, 10:45 p.m.

Why have humans evolved to speak so many incomprehensible languages? Why do we work against our own survival by going to war with one another? Evolutionary Biologist Mark Pagel explores how humanity will evolve in the future and if we are likely to become a world with one state and one language. This event was recorded as part of Radio 3\u2019s Free Thinking Festival at The Sage Gateshead on Sunday 4th November.
