Hudson Valley Humanists

Posted

The April 2019 monthly meeting of the Hudson Valley Humanists will be held at the New Paltz Community Center on Sunday, April 21st.  It will start at 6 pm in the community center is at 3 Veterans Way, New Paltz, off Route 32, north of the village and Stewart’s. 


Russell Gilmore, Ph.D, professional historian and avocational pre-historian, will make a presentation on recent discoveries about early humans with a special emphasis on David Reich's book "Who We Are and How We Got Here". In the book, and in articles, Reich makes the case that the revolution in ancient DNA will be as important as the discovery of the microscope or perhaps even the concept of the map. Some of Reich’s work has been called "politically incorrect”. A group discussion will follow.

Hudson Valley Humanists will be collecting toiletries and other necessities for Family of New Paltz.

Humanist beliefs lead to a philosophy that stresses the potential value and goodness of human beings, emphasizes common human needs, and seeks solely rational ways of solving human problems.

This meeting is free and open to the public. All are welcome. Any changes in date (weather problem) or time will be on MeetUp. For more information, email auer1@att.net .
