SCI-FI: EVOLUTION IN TREK: WHY ARE THERE SO MANY HUMANOIDS

ROOM 201

Friday July 27, 2018 - 1:45 pm to 2:45 pm


This presentation introduces real evolutionary concepts from Earth (presented by a Duke University professor of evolutionary biology) and then applies them to testing three theories raised in various Trek episodes about why so many aliens may be humanoid.

Come learn some science while thinking about Trek! Most aliens we see in Star Trek are not only carbon- and water-based, but they are humanoid. Many can even breed with humans.
