Featuring Dr. Andrew Berry, Harvard University
Where do we come from? Dr. Andrew Berry will be on hand to speak about the mysteries of human evolution at our first Science Soiree of the season.
Dr. Andrew Berry has a degree in zoology from Oxford University and a PhD in evolutionary genetics from Princeton University. He was a Harvard Junior Fellow, and is still at Harvard where he is currently Lecturer on Organismic & Evolutionary Biology. Combining the techniques of field biology with those of molecular biology, his work has been a search for evidence at the DNA level of Darwinian natural selection.
