As we hear distressing news from around the world, it’s worth reminding ourselves of times and places with human beings did come close to building a workable and just society for everyone.
The Indus Valley civilization flourished from 2500 – 2000 BC, and was widely thought the most advanced society in the world at the time. There is little evidence of warfare or poverty in their ruins. How did they do it?
Our featured speaker on this topic will be Dr. Mark Reimers.
Dr. Reimers has worked at the US National Institutes of Health, the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, and at the Virginia Institute for Psychiatric and Behavioral Genetics in Richmond, and now does research and teaches at Michigan State University. His broader aim is to ground our understanding of feeling and thought in the facts of biology.
Dr. Reimers was the leader of the Richmond Humanists in Virginia for five years, and now leads the UU Forum in Lansing, and speaks frequently at humanist and science outreach events in Michigan.
