Who are we? Where do we come from? What does it mean to be human? For thousands of years, such questions have been explored through philosophy and religion, but the answers now seem to lie firmly within the grasp of an empirical approach to the world and our place within it.
By peering deep into our past and dragging clues out into the light, science can now provide us with some of the answers to the questions that people have always asked. From the first spark of life on earth 3.8 billion years ago, we track the evolution and connectivity of all living things.
Join us as we follow in the footsteps of our ancestors from Africa into Asia and around the Indian coastline, to Australia, north into Europe and Siberia, and, eventually, to the Americas. We’ll meet some other human species along the way. We’ll examine the sophistication of some of the earliest civilisations, and we’ll discuss how we know what we know and why we think what we think, what the science can tell us.

It's International Women's Day! This year, the theme is Count Her In: Invest in Women, Accelerate Progress. Women’s economic empowerment is central to a gender equal world. When women are given equal opportunities to earn, learn and lead – entire communities thrive.
At MCEC, we are committed to inclusion and diversity. We know that an inclusive, diverse, and equal environment lifts the experience of our employees, customers, and everyone who visits us. We offer flexibility (adjustable hours, remote work!), childcare & healthcare discounts, and comprehensive parental leave to empower women throughout their careers.
Our gender pay gap shrunk from 7.8% to 5.9% in a year! Plus, 65% of internal promotions in 2023 went to amazing women. We're proud of the progress, but there's more to do. We've asked some of our team members what this years theme means to them and how MCEC helps contribute to it.
You're invited! Join THE LUME Melbourne for The First Supper, an unforgettable long-table dining experience featuring Guy Grossi's most-loved dishes, we're talking slow-baked lamb, delicious vino, and all the good stuff. 🍽️✨🍷
