In the last of a three-part series, William Woollard asks where our species goes from here. According to some, nowhere; technological animals cannot evolve. But as we face the dawn of machine intelligence and the possibility of reproducing robot rocket ships, how much of the running of the world will be left to men? Intelligence it appears, has a long way to go yet. But where will it stray? To interstellar dust clouds? To the interiors of suns?

La Belle Irlandaise
In September 1827 an English theatre company visited Paris to perform a season of Shakespeare. In the audience at the first night of Hamlet was the composer Hector Berlioz.
There he saw Harriet Smithson , who was playing Ophelia. Some years later he was to create the Symphonie Fantastique in her honour. Helen Madden tells the story of Harriet Smithson Berlioz, the Irish actress who was so much admired in Paris that she was known there as 'La belle Irlandaise'.
