SUMMARY:Climate Control
DESCRIPTION:Humans evolved in the natural world with little to no control over our environment. \n\n\n\nOver time\, humans began to find ways to adapt to varying climates by making clothing and shelter\, and\, eventually\, by controlling fire. This ultimately led to central heating and air conditioning\, but at great cost.   \n\n\n\nIn this SciCafe\, join Kevin Uno\, associate professor in the Department of Human Evolutionary Biology at Harvard University\, for a discussion on the ways in which humanity’s need to control its own environment has led to dire impacts on global climate and where do we go from here.   \n\n\n\nPlease note\, SciCafe is intended to be a casual\, social environment. Seating is not guaranteed.   \n\n\n\nASL interpretation will be provided for this program.   \n\n\n\nNote: SciCafe is 21+ and free with RSVP. This event is an in-person lecture in New York. Sign up for our events newsletter for an update when the recording is available.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDr. Kevin Uno is an Associate Professor in the Department of Human Evolutionary Biology at Harvard University. He is a paleoecologist whose primary research focuses on the role of climate and environmental change on mammalian and human evolution. He has led or co-authored a series of papers that linked dietary changes in mammals and hominins to late Neogene vegetation change. Since 2013\, he has focused on the development and application of molecular biomarker analyses on terrestrial and marine sediments to reconstruct ecosystem structure\, hydroclimate\, and fire in ancient environments.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis program is presented in collaboration with the American Museum of Natural History. \n\n\n\nSponsored by:The Ann and Gordon Getty FoundationCamilla and George SmithThe Joan and Arnold Travis Education Fund
