political scientist Eric Kaufmann has argued that religious believers have a demographic advantage in birth rates that will see Europe's secularisation reversed by the end of this century
Migration is one factor that has helped religion to return to centre stage in public life
Secularism in Europe has been in part influenced by the original recognition in Christian theology of separate secular and religious realms
The Bradshaw Foundation, in association with Stephen Oppenheimer, presents a virtual global journey of modern man over thelast 160,000 years. The map will hosw for the first time the intearction of migration and climate over this period. We are the descendants of a few small groups of tropical Africans who united in the face of adversity, not only to the point of survival but to the development of a sophisticate social interaction and culture expressed throughmany forms. Based on a synthesis of mtDNA and Y chromosome evidence with archaeology, climatology and fossil study, Stephen Oppenheimer has tracked the routes and timing of migration, placing it in context with ancient rock art around the world.
