On Friday September 25th, The Evolution Institute invites you to look at societal development from a scientific viewpoint. In cooperation with the Norwegian think tank Agenda, we will place the Norwegian model into an evolutionary context: Is Norway the final step on the evolutionary ladder?
Below is the agenda for the Panel, and links to articles and video recordings of some previous presentations explored in this ongoing Evolution Institute project.
