BBC’s Professor Alice Roberts comes to the Cheese & GrainBBC star, Professor Alice Roberts, is coming to the Cheese & Grain next month as part of her brand new tour, Tamed.
How do you tame wildness? For hundreds of thousands of years our ancestors depended on wild plants and animals. They were hunter-gatherers – consummate survival experts, but taking the world as they found it. Then a revolution happened: we started to domesticate wild species. The human population boomed, and civilization took off.
Join Alice Roberts, known to fans for BBC Two’s Coast, The Incredible Human Journey and Horizon, as she delves into archaeology, history and genetics to reveal the amazing stories of the species that became our allies. From dogs, cattle and horses to wheat, potatoes and apples, find out how taming these species has left its mark on them – and us.
Alice is an anthropologist and professor of public engagement in science at the University of Birmingham. She has written seven popular science and archaeology books.
Alice arrives at the Cheese & Grain on Tuesday 7th November. For more information and for tickets visit www.cheeseand grain.com or call 01373 455420.
