Internationally renowned scientist Professor George Paxinos is an environmental activist and his eco-fiction debut novel explores the battle between humans and nature that threatens our planet’s survival. George has published 57 scientific books including the most cited work in neuroscience and third most cited in all the sciences and has worked at the world’s top universities including Cambridge, Oxford, Stanford, UCLA and UNSW. A two-thousand-year ossuary containing a crucified man’s bones is found near Masada, his DNA is cloned to produce two men who grow up on opposite sides of the world and clash in the Amazon on opposite sides of the climate change debate. Nature or nurture? Do we need a Messiah to save the planet? He will be interviewed by editor Kiriaki Orfanos.
