Not Natural: Belonging

Listen on

Episode notes

In the days of hunter-gatherers, social exclusion meant certain death. Humans have evolved with a primal need for belonging — and we still suppress our differences so we can fit in. But what happens when we buck this trend?  

This week, we’re bringing you stories about embracing our differences.  

It’s the sixth episode of Not Natural, a series about the tension between the natural and the artificial. These stories were produced for the Science Galley’s new exhibition — Not Natural. It’s open now and includes a listening station where you can hear work from our students.

Featuring stories by Amelia Davies, Adeline Johnston, Eleanor Dean, and Alexander McGuire.
