Welcome!
This international conference will be
hosted by the Origins Institute (OI) at McMaster University over 5 days
in 2009, from May 25-29.
To celebrate the sesquicentennial for the publication of the 'Origin of
Species,' the OI will bring together scientists from a variety of
disciplines who use natural selection (or a variant thereof) as a
guiding principle in their research.
The conference comprises 9 sessions, each including a keynote address,
an invited lecture, and contributed talks.
Session themes are organised to run from evolution to biodiversity,
cognition, modification - molecules to organisms, and complexity - life
on Earth and beyond.
