SUMMARY:Discussion Group: Evolution and Family
DESCRIPTION:Are you fascinated with human origins and interested in meeting others who share your curiosity? Join the Evolution Exchange on February 27 for a lively virtual discussion group exploring the evolution of childhood and the human family. \n\n\n\nHere’s the plan:\n\n\n\nBefore each event\, you’ll dive into a handpicked\, thought-provoking podcast\, video\, or article on your own. Then\, like a book club\, we’ll meet up on Zoom for small-group discussions (5-6 people) about what you learned. It’s a perfect chance to unwind after work and join like-minded evolution enthusiasts for meaningful conversations. \n\n\n\nFor the first discussion group meetup\, we chose three episodes of The Leakey Foundation’s award-winning Origin Stories podcast. This miniseries was produced by Peabody Award nominee Leo Hornak and edited by Pulitzer Prize-winning editor Audrey Quinn. Each episode features scientists whose research expands our understanding of the family relationships that shape our lives. \n\n\n\nPlease listen to the following podcast episodes prior to the event:‌‌\n\n\n\nOrigin Stories: Fatherhood \n\n\n\nOrigin Stories: Motherhood \n\n\n\nOrigin Stories: Siblings \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin the Evolution Exchange!

SUMMARY:Survival of the Friendliest
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Brian Hare\, Duke University \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat if the secret to “survival of the fittest” isn’t strength\, smarts\, or power but rather the ability to connect and cooperate? \n\n\n\nJoin evolutionary anthropologist and bestselling author Dr. Brian Hare and discover how cooperation and sociability have shaped the success of species like dogs\, bonobos\, and especially us humans. \n\n\n\nWith compelling examples from recent research\, Dr. Hare will explore the links between friendliness\, survival\, and evolution. The online talk will be followed by an interactive Q&A and a chance to hang out and discuss big ideas with other curious minds in lively breakout room group chats. \n\n\n\nThis event is hosted by The Leakey Foundation’s Evolution Exchange (formerly Young Professionals Group)\, a growing community of science supporters and evolution enthusiasts.

SUMMARY:Where's the love? The secrets of chimpanzee relationships
DESCRIPTION:Are humans the only animals that experience love?  \n\n\n\nPrimatologist Rachna Reddy and psychologist Jan Engelmann discuss possible evidence of love among chimpanzees and bonobos and share observations from new research aimed at understanding this complex emotion. \n\n\n\nThis program features a 30-minute discussion on Zoom with Dr. Rachna Reddy\, and Dr. Jan Engelmann\, followed by a chance to ask the experts your questions about love\, primate behavior\, and evolution. \n\n\n\nPresented by The Leakey Foundation’s Evolution Exchange (formerly Young Professionals Group). Learn more and join! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDr. Rachna Reddy is a Postdoctoral Associate in Evolutionary Anthropology at Duke University and Research Associate in Human Evolutionary Biology at Harvard University. She is a Leakey Foundation grant recipient who investigates how social relationships shape human life by studying our closest living relatives in the wild. By following known individual chimpanzees and bonobos through rainforests\, Rachna observes their day-to-day experiences and learns how and why they form\, break\, and maintain different types of relationships as they grow up and grow old. Most of her research takes place at Ngogo in the Kibale National Park\, Uganda. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDr. Jan Engelmann is Assistant Professor of Psychology at the University of California\, Berkeley. Jan studies the evolution of cognition and behavior by comparing chimpanzees\, one of our closest living relatives\, to humans across different cultures. One main research focus is the evolution of cooperation. Most of what makes humans such unusual primates has to do\, in one way or another\, with our especially social and cultural lifestyles\, which result in cooperative forms of thinking and acting. Jan is interested in how cooperation in chimpanzees differs from\, and is similar to\, cooperation in humans. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nSponsored by:The Ann and Gordon Getty Foundation\, Camilla and George Smith\, and The Joan and Arnold Travis Education Fund.

SUMMARY:Why Care About Hair?
DESCRIPTION: \nJoin evolutionary biologists Tina Lasisi and Liz Tapanes to learn why our hair is the way it is.\n\n\nOver the past months\, you may have noticed everyone on your virtual calls getting a bit….well…..shaggy. Have you ever stopped to wonder – why do we have hair? Why is there so much variation? What is its role? Is there any relationship between the hair of a lemur at a zoo and the hair on your head? And are there aspects about our hair that are uniquely human? \nPresented by The Leakey Foundation’s Evolution Exchange (formerly Young Professionals Group)  \nAbout the speakers:\nTina Lasisi is a biological anthropologist and PhD Candidate and part of the Jablonski Human Evolution and Diversity Lab and the Shriver Anthropological Genomics Lab at Penn State University. Her research focuses on the evolution of human hair variation. \nElizabeth Tapanes is an evolutionary biologist and PhD Candidate at The George Washington University’s Center for the Advanced Study of Human Paleobiology where she is part of the Primate Genomics Lab. Her research focuses on the evolution of hair in non-human primates. \nThe Leakey Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization with a mission to increase scientific knowledge\, education\, and public understanding of human origins\, evolution\, behavior\, and survival.
