The Biodesign Institute Presents
Dr. Charles Pasternak
Director, Oxford International Biomedical Center
“Quest: The Essence of Humanity”
 4:00 PM Tuesday, October 4, 2005
The Great Hall, College of Law
Reception and Book Signing to Follow Lecture
People have long debated what separates humans from other animal life forms. How different are we, really, and what accounts for these differences? Respected biochemist and author Charles Pasternak brings a highly original viewpoint to the debate. He believes we are unique in our desire to “quest” for things beyond what is dictated by the basic needs for survival.
Pasternak will discuss his view of man’s unique place in the spectrum of living species, and what makes us human, in this lecture based on his book of the same title.
