C.B.E.
Contributions will be gratefully acknowledged and should be addressed to [address removed]
Four young British writers, appalled by the continuing plight of the refugees, conceived the idea of World Refugee Year as an opportunity to end this situation wherever possible. Proposed by Britain and accepted by the United Nations this movement is now actively supported by sixty-five countries. Britain's effort, launched last June under Her Majesty's patronage and supported by all political parties, has a minimum target of £ 2,000,000.

6-The Future of Man
This last lecture presents the case for the uniqueness of man, and the technical grounds for believing that his future can be of his own making.
In the controversy between Darwinian and Lamarckian biologists, the latter argue that in certain circumstances ' acquired characteristics' can be inherited, so that the experience of the individual in a given environment ultimately becomes part of the genetical stock of the species. The Darwinians, on the other hand, maintain that environmental experience cannot change the genetic make-up of the individual: it merely triggers off already built-in patterns of behaviour. Modified forms of individual do appear only because the species as a whole ' learns' from the environment in the hard school of natural selection.
But the human brain introduces a new factor into this argument. Thanks to its unique characteristics man is released from the trammels of instinct: he can learn from experience and, more important, pass on what he has learned through a non-genetic form of inheritance. This opens up the possibility of a new kind of evolution, no less biological, but to which the laws of ordinary genetic inheritance no longer apply.
