African Origin of Civilization Revisited - Kipkoeech araap Sambu, PhD

In 1959, Martin Luther King Jr was known chiefly for his role in the successful Montgomery bus boycott. It was years before his "I Have a Dream" speech in Washington. Long thought lost, the interview was found and rebroadcast in 2009. In it, King sat down for his KTCA interview with L. Howard Bennett, a civil rights leader and the first African-American judge in Minnesota.

We follow the young men coming to South Africa and risking their lives in the abandoned gold mines of Durban Deep. The gold mine is an hour outside Johannesburg and was closed down 12 years ago, after commercial mining companies moved on. Now illegal miners descend half a kilometre underground, through make-shift tunnels, and use explosives to blow apart the rock in search of gold. There are dangers both inside and outside the mines, local gangs control the area, and rapes and murders are now commonplace.

What if your brain at 77 were as plastic as it was at 7? What if you could learn Mandarin with the ease of a toddler or play Rachmaninoff without breaking a sweat? A growing understanding of neuroplasticity suggests these fantasies could one day become reality. Neuroplasticity may also be the key to solving diseases like Alzheimer’s, depression, and autism. In this program, leading neuroscientists discuss their most recent findings and both the tantalizing possibilities and pitfalls for our future cognitive selves.
