Lynne Kelly: The Knowledge Gene

Join us for the launch of Dr Lynne Kelly's latest book on the discovery of a supergene that makes us uniquely human. Lynne calls it 'the knowledge gene', a critical clue in explaining the prodigious memories of Indigenous people and why humans are the only species to make art. Her research offers new insights into the earliest music and storytelling, and the cognitive strengths of neurodivergent people.
