Sixth Darwin Day will be celebrated, in which we commemorate the anniversary of the birth of Charles Darwin with a lecture related to the author of "The Origin of Species". This year we have the honor of having the researcher Cristina Valdiosera, who leads the European project AdMEXture ERC, who will give the conference "The Role of Miscegenation in Human Evolution", at 1:00 pm in the CENIEH Assembly Hall. Admission is free until capacity is reached, and it will also be broadcast live on the CENIEH YouTube channel.

As a novelty this year, the CENIEH will host its first Escape Room: "Trapped in the Paleolithic", a family activity organized by the DEATHREVOLteam, led by the CENIEH researcher Nohemi Sala, in which participants will have to solve four fundamental mysteries with the help of fossil remains. Sixteen people (8 children from Primary Education accompanied by 1 adult) can participate per session. There are three one-hour sessions: at 5:30 pm, at 6:00 pm and 6:30 pm. It's a free activity but requires an invitation reservation through Eventbrite

This activity is supported by the Fundación Española para la Ciencia y la Tecnología (FECYT) - Ministerio de Ciencia, Innovación y Universidades (FCT-23-19112) and is part of the DEATHREVOL project of the European Research Council (949330)
