What secrets are hidden in your DNA… and how much can it really reveal? In this captivating talk, Professor Turi King explores the extraordinary power of genetics to unlock mysteries that span centuries and continents. Professor King is an award-winning scientist who identified the bones of Richard III in a Leicester carpark and genetically analysed Hitler (as seen in Channel 4’s Hitler’s DNA: Blueprint of a Dictator). From identifying historical figures to solving modern criminal cases, DNA has transformed how we understand the past, the present, and even ourselves. Through a series of remarkable true stories, Professor King reveals how this rapidly evolving science is reshaping fields from archaeology to medicine, wildlife conservation to personal identity. This is a journey into the code that connects us all, while raising vital questions about how these powerful discoveries should be used in the future.
