Emigrating Beyond Earth
The Cannon Beach History Center & Museum is honored welcome adventurer, scientist, writer, and archaeologist Dr. Cameron M. Smith on Thursday May 9th, 2013 at 7:00 p.m. Dr. Smith has a PhD in Archaeology from Canada’s Simon Fraser University and is a respected scholar, who has published scientific works in the American Journal of Physical Anthropology, as well as Scientific American, Scientific American MIND, Archaeology Magazine, South American Explorer, Spaceflight, Skeptical Inquirer, The Next Step, and The Bulletin of Primitive Technology.

For those who have not attended a lecture by Professor Smith, you are in for a treat! Smith is an engaging lecturer who keeps attendees on the edge of their seats. You won’t want the lecture to end! He will be exploring the longer-term, broader-scale implications of the evolutionary process for our species and explain why it is not technocratic, machine-centered endeavor, but a natural continuation of human adaptation to emigrate beyond Earth. Space exploration, emigration and his latest book, Emigrating Beyond Earth: Human Adaptation and Space Colonization has been on his mind since the 1970’s, when his father gave him a NASA publication called Space Settlements.
Come see Dr. Smith and learn about why space colonization is the next natural step in human evolution! This is a FREE event and is open to the public.
