A Live, Illustrated Zoom Talk with Brenna Hassett
Imagine you are a hunter-gatherer some 15,000 years ago. You've got a choice - carry on foraging, or plant a few seeds and move to one of those new-fangled settlements down the valley. What you won't know is that urban life is short and riddled with dozens of new diseases; your children will be shorter and sicklier than you are, they'll be plagued with gum disease, and stand a decent chance of a violent death at the point of a spear.
This is one of the questions Brenna Hassett examoines in her work as a bio-archeologist, an occupation that has led her to excavate and study skeletons from the earliest proto-villages in Turkey to the 17th century Londoners hidden in St Bride's Crypt on Fleet Street.
