We humans are complex beings, with two decidedly different instincts: to compete against and to collaborate with one another. On this 159th anniversary of the publication of Darwin’s On the Origin of Species, QUUF member and Evolutionary Biologist Stan Cummings joins Kate Lore for an exploration of human evolution.
We had a simpler credo in the late 1950’s, but being Unitarian was still all about the search for meaning and a life worth living.
About Stan Cummings: Stan grew up in All Souls Unitarian Church in Greenfield MA. The experience sent him on a lifelong search for meaning and purpose: Where did we come from? How did we get here? Where are we going? He has reflected on these questions and others in a series of talks presented at different times through ALPS, and also on cruise ships that have taken him and his wife Sigrid around the world. Stan’s professional career was spent in leading various nonprofit organizations while focusing on the education of young people, including most recently, the Northwest Maritime Center here in Port Townsend.
