CFI Vancouver is pleased to host a lecture by Philosopher of Science and Ethics Dr. Christopher diCarlo.


In his talk, Dr. diCarlo will present the most recent evidence supporting the theory that all humans are descended from a small group of ancestors in Africa around 60 thousand years ago. He will also discuss some of the important political, philosophical, and moral implications resulting from such an understanding of human origins.


A reception will be held after the lecture at Moose's Down Under Restaurant where guests can meet and talk with Dr. diCarlo over drinks and appetizers. Space for the reception is limited so please reserve tickets early!

Centre For Inquiry Vancouver



The Centre For Inquiry is an educational charity that promotes reason, science, skepticism, and secular values. Through a wide range of intellectual programming, featuring prominent scientists, philosophers, authors and artists, CFI examines and educates the public on issues related to science and pseudoscience, medicine and health, religion and secularism, and humanist values and ethics.
CFI also sponsors and organizes a variety of regular social events where freethinkers can meet, share their experiences, make new friends, and engage in stimulating conversation.

CFI is Canada's premiere organisation for skeptics, humanists and freethinkers. With activities from local discussion groups to international conferences and publications ranging from blogs to our Skeptical Inquirer and Free Inquiry magazines, CFI is the foremost voice defending the scientific and naturalistic outlook in all areas of human endeavour. The Centre for Inquiry is also the only organization involved at every level of society, employing community-based educational events, courses and social and community services, campus outreach, academic research, an allied publishing house, regional and national political advocacy and international observer status at the United Nations.

If you would like to support these goals and activities please consider making a tax-deductible donation and/or becoming a Friend of the Centre, or by volunteering your time and expertise. CFI Vancouver offers you an opportunity to put your principles into practice and join other rationalists in working for positive change in society.
