You share 99.4% of your genes with your neighbour, 98.7% with a chimp, and even 44% with a fruit fly – yet you are also entirely unique – there is nobody else quite like you. In this year’s STAR Lecture, Dr Adam Rutherford will take us on a journey to answer the most fundamental question: Who Am I?
We humans tend to view ourselves as separate from the natural world, a special creation even, but we are far more closely related to the rest of the animal kingdom than you might imagine. From how our limbs evolved from fins, to the colour of our eyes, join Dr Rutherford as he investigates our fascinating evolutionary story to reveal how we became who we are today.
