Professor Alice Roberts set to appear at Salisbury City Hall

Professor Alice Roberts is due to appear at Salisbury City Hall for her show Tamed.

The well known academic and broadcaster will be posing the question ‘How do you tame wilderness?’

For hundreds of thousand of years our ancestors existed in a world where they depended on wild plants and animals. They were hunter-gatherers - consummate survival experts, but taking the world as they found it. Then a revolution happened: we started to domesticate wild species and they became crucial to our own survival and success.  Join Alice Roberts as she delves into archaeology, history and genetics to reveal the amazing stories of the species that became our allies. From dogs, cattle and horses to wheat, potatoes and apples, find out how taming all these species has left its mark on them - and us.

The show will take place on Tuesday November 21 at 7pm
