The Future of Humanity: Live Theatre Event (June 3)
The Royal Institution, London | 3 June, 2025 | 18:30 (doors open)
Join Steven Pinker and Richard Dawkins for an evening of insightful discussion.
This event explores humanity’s past and future: what does it mean to be human, and where are we headed? From the origin of language and morality to the future of consciousness and culture, Steven Pinker and Richard Dawkins explore the most profound questions of our time. Is our future shaped by evolution? Has religion helped or hindered human progress? Can reason and science thrive in an age of polarisation and misinformation? As we confront existential risks and accelerating technologies, two of the world’s leading thinkers come together to examine what kind of future we might still build – and whether we are ready for it.
