Just before I went on holiday I worked on a very interesting programme called Human Kind all about an incredible guy called George PriceMatthew Taylor tells the story of the last eight years in the life of George Price – a scientist who studied the evolution of altruism and who suffered for his faith. With contributions from Price’s biographer Oren Harman, writer Marek Kohn, Professor Steve Jones and Price’s family and friends, Matthew follows a journey that began with a sensational breakthrough in evolutionary biology and ended in poverty and suicide.
