Episode 2 Promo | How did we come about? The Question of Human Origin

S1 · Big Questions about the Human Being: Bioscience & Islam in Dialogue
Avatar
35 Plays2 months ago

What does it mean when scientists say we share a “common ancestor”? And how do discoveries about Neanderthals, fossils, and DNA reshape the story of who we are?

In this episode, Dr. Aasim Padela is joined by leading scientists to unpack what evolutionary theory really says and to explore how these bioscientific accounts sit in dialogue with Islamic perspectives on human origins.

Get ready for an eye-opening conversation about evolution, ancestry, and what it means to be human.
