What Our Bodies Tell Us about Evolution and Economics

Evolutionary biologist, futurist, author Elisabet Sahtouris will be sharing the wisdom she has gleaned about evolution and economics from our human bodies. She is the author of EarthDance: Living Systems in Evolution, Biology Revisioned (Co-authored with Willis Harmon), A Walk Through Time: From Stardust to Us--The Evolution of Life on Earth, as well as many articles. She is a gifted speaker and has a key cameo role in the new film I AM which is a beautiful illustration of one man's journey of enlightenment (My review posted here.)

She currently lives in Spain, where she works with Mallorca Goes Green toward sustainable local economy. She is a Fellow of the World Business Academy and a member of the World Wisdom Council, her post-doctoral fellowship tenure was at the American Museum of Natural History in New York; she taught at MIT and the University of Massachusetts, was a UN Consultant on indigenous peoples, a science writer for the NOVA-HORIZON TV series, taught in a sustainable business MBA program and organized the Hokkaido Foundations of Science Symposium in 2008 and another in Kuala Lumpur in 2009.

Always learning, growing and questioning, Elisabet is also interested in ending the hegemony of Western Sciences in recognition of the innate wisdom of the sciences which has been developed outside of the narrow parameters of the dominant culture. She works passionately for the health and well-being of our global family.
