The question of whether acquired traits can be inherited from one generation to the next was first posed by … 11 Dec 2018 16:00 - 18:00 Event Thomas Lecuit Curves and invaginations Lecture Abstract This lecture and the following one deal with morphogenesis on a larger scale, that of whole tissues and organs. The aim is to illustrate how tissue morphogenetic processes proceed jointly from a flow of information, as in a deterministic program, … 11 Dec 2018 10:00 - 11:30 Event Amos Gitai Chronicle of an assassination Lecture Film : The Last Day of Yitzhak Rabin (2015), fiction When Rabin was assassinated on November 4 1995, I felt that a page in modern Israeli history had been turned.

An entropy floor exists, due to the non-gravitational energy released … 10 Dec 2018 16:45 - 17:45 Event Dominique Charpin The king and justice Lecture Abstract The years twenty of Samsu-iluna's reign not only saw a marked shrinkage in the territory of Babylonia : the economic situation deteriorated once again, leading to various interventions by the sovereign. We began by analyzing a letter from … 10 Dec 2018 11:00 - 12:00 Event Michel Brunet Paleontology and molecular phylogeny... Reflections on Toumai and the Chimpanzee dichotomy - Human family Seminar Abstract This seminar offered a paleontological perspective complementary to that provided by genetic data.

Classical logic, continuations, control operators Lecture Abstract Classical logic and intuitionistic logic can be seen as irreconcilable enemies, as in the polemic between Hilbert and Brouwer in 1927. More positively, we can, like Gödel in the 1930s, use intuitionistic logic to better understand classical … 5 Dec 2018 10:00 - 11:00 Event Dominique Charpin A Babylonian domain under Samsu-Iluna (5) Seminar A good knowledge of cuneiform is required for the seminar. … 5 Dec 2018 10:00 - 12:00 Event Jean-Jacques Hublin Hunting and society Lecture Abstract The activity of hunting to ensure the subsistence of a human group is directly dependent on the accessibility of a certain territory.
