The second semester Integrated Human Studies Seminar Series began on 6 August 2008:
Human Wellbeing 5.30-7.00pm Seminar room 1.81 School of Anatomy and Human Biology
Next seminar 20 August 08: Health
Is there an evolutionary or physiological basis for the psalm’s “Three score years and ten” summation of human lifespan? Historically, what have been the threats to human health? Human beings now have vast medical knowledge and skills, and many diseases that would have killed us last century are treatable and even curable this century. But there are new threats to human health; and policy has so far failed to address the disgraceful state of Indigenous health.
Presenters: Dr Debra Judge – Evolution of human lifespan and factors affecting it
A/Prof Ted Wilkes – Indigenous health
Prof Philip Weinstein – “Are we shitting in our own nest?”
