Prof Wade Davis FRSGS discusses different cultures' takes on the meaning of life.

Professor Wade Davis explains why every culture is a unique answer to a fundamental question "What does it mean to be human and alive ?" Wade leads us on a thrilling journey to celebrate the wisdom of the world's indigenous cultures, from the Anaconda people of the Amazon to the tribes of Borneo and beyond, arguing that understanding lessons from this journey and rediscovering an appreciation for the diversity of the human spirit is among the central challenges of our time.
