The Sequoia Park Zoo Conservation Lecture Series continues on Tuesday, March 6, 2018 with Dr. Fred Allendorf, presenting “Zen and Deep Evolution: When Did Your Life Begin?” 

The Buddha taught that everything is connected (emptiness) and constantly changing (impermanence). Charles Darwin proposed a mechanism (natural selection) to explain how the diversity of life that we see around us today developed from a singular beginning. Dr. Fred Allendorf, one of the founders of the field of conservation genetics, will combine these revolutionary insights on a journey to the beginning of our lives. He will also show that we perceive the world around us through a lens which has been molded by evolution. Join us for a reception to meet the speaker at 6:30 PM in the Zoo’s Secrets of the Forest Building. The lecture follows at 7:00 PM in the Flamingo Room.
