SUMMARY:Meet a Scientist: Uncovering Indonesia's Human Past
DESCRIPTION:Location: Grainger Science Hub\, The Field MuseumChicago\, ILFree with museum admission \n\n\n\nExplore ancient cave art and hominin fossils with Australian archaeologist Adam Brumm\n\n\n\nUncover Indonesia’s deep human past and meet a scientist who has made groundbreaking archaeological discoveries on the islands of Sulawesi and Flores! Explore ancient cave art and mysterious hominin fossils to learn how these finds are reshaping our understanding of human evolution and creativity in Southeast Asia. \n\n\n\nDrop by the Grainger Science Hub to meet Prof. Brumm\, interact with hands-on elements like casts of the famous “Hobbit” (Homo floresiensis) fossils\, and see photos of Indonesian research sites. \n\n\n\nFree with museum admission\, no registration required. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAdam Brumm is a professor of archaeology at Griffith University in Queensland\, Australia. His contributions to the field span 21 years of research in Indonesia\, including extensive fieldwork on Flores and Sulawesi\, two islands that loom large in our understanding of early humans. In Flores\, his team unearthed fossils of archaic hominins that are the oldest found on the island and seem to represent a form ancestral to the celebrated ‘Hobbit’ (Homo floresiensis). In Sulawesi\, his discoveries\, with numerous colleagues\, of a series of ‘ice age’ cave paintings were deemed to be among the top 10 scientific breakthroughs of the year on two occasions (2014 and 2019) by the American Association for the Advancement of Science. Brumm completed his PhD at the Australian National University in 2007 and has since held several postdoctoral research fellowships\, including at the University of Cambridge. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSponsors\n\n\n\nThis lecture is in partnership with the Field Museum and Chicago Council on Science and Technology and is generously sponsored by the Ann and Gordon Getty Foundation\, Camilla and George Smith\, and the Joan and Arnold Travis Education Fund.
