Bar des sciences "Les liens homme-nature, une histoire de cultures" (Human-nature links, a history of cultures)

Saturday, June 3, 2017 from 6:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.
Jardin des Plantes de Montpellier (near the Martin greenhouse)

Nature has always been omnipresent at every stage in the evolution of the human species. Throughout history, the relationship between human beings and their environment has greatly evolved, in line with scientific discoveries and economic revolutions, but also with our representations and beliefs.
The "feeling of nature" is a truly human axis that synthesizes the perception and the sensitive human relationship (physical or mental) that man, individually or in society, establishes with nature.
Daniel Vallauri (Doctor of Ecology)
