EVOLUTION IN SOCIETY ­ the impact of Darwin & Darwin¹s ideas

Includes: Darwinism & Anti Darwinism, race and physical anthropology,
evolution of sex and gender

Although Charles Darwin spent only a brief period in Australia, his theory
and its legacy has had a formative influence on the growth and development
of Australian social policy, education, medicine and science. Evolutionary
ideas remain central to modern debates about race, sex and gender, the new
eugenics and genetics, and creationism and evolution. This conference stream
will bring together historians, philosophers, anthropologists and scholars
working in related fields to discuss the impact of Darwin¹s ideas past,
present and future.
