Excursion A Sunday afternoon in the Library of the Royal Geographical Society of SA. It contains over 25,000 volumes and is one of the most significant collections of rare geographical books and manuscripts in Australia. It holds rare books on discovery and exploration, examples of early natural history books, early South Australian maps, artefacts including Colonel Light's level and furniture made by John McDouall Stuart. A tour of the top gallery (about 9,000 books) of the Mortlock Wing will be included. Climbing stairs will be necessary.
Lecture What do we know about our origins? When do humans first appear in the evolution of life? What do fossil remains reveal about our ancestry? Since the 1950s, our understanding of our human origins has grown exponentially. This talk will provide a basic overview of what we know today about the origin of humankind. It will take you on a journey through some of the earliest hominins; describe when our genus ‘Homo’ first appears; and talk about the first appearance of modern anatomical humans.
