I was astounded to find out that the following group of people all delivered a lecture together back in 1998:

Douglas Adams, Richard Dawkins, Daniel Dennett, Jared Diamond and Steven Pinker.

Talk about a group of heavyweights...

The video is long, approx. two and half hours, but well worth it.

edit - All the speakers talk about a variety of things, but I guess you could say the main focus of the lecture is evolution(including cultural). But like I said, the speakers all go off on different topics as well, all related in some way.
