Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at U-M

Dr. Redding will explain what science can tell us about food gathering and development from earliest times through to the villages and then farms of the ancient near Eastern peoples. Dr. Redding spent the winter of 2012-2013 doing further research in Egypt. His investigations, excavations, and surveys have taken him all over the world seeking an understanding of the origin of food production and the evolution of complex societies.
This is the first of six lectures in the series: “Our Food Supply: A Complicated Story”
