Human Kind – The story of scientist George Price

Human Kind – The story of scientist George Price

Just before I went on holiday I worked on a very interesting programme called Human Kind all about an incredible guy called George Price

Matthew 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.
Audio Editor: Mike Thornton
Producer: Peter Everett.

Apart from being an incredible brain and scientist what struck me about his story is that it was so easy to become homeless and one of those people you see wandering the streets.  Also to get an insight into how people loose everything and become homeless. It could so easily be me or you….
It is well worth catching this programme on iPlayer before next Wednesday.
