At the Root of Human Hair
American Museum of Natural History 56 West 81st St., New York, NY, United StatesIn this in-person talk, biological anthropologist Dr. Tina Lasisi teases out the mysteries behind why humans have scalp hair and why we may have developed different hair textures as we've evolved.
The Botanic Age: Plants and Human Evolution
The Houston Museum of Natural Science 5555 Hermann Park Drive, Houston, TX, United StatesThis talk challenges the idea that stone tools and hunting fueled early human brain evolution. Instead, it suggests that the "Botanic Age," focusing on botanical innovations during the first three million years of hominin evolution, was crucial.

Origin: A Genetic History of the Americas
In this talk, Dr. Jennifer Raff will explore the latest genetic and archaeological evidence for the origins of the First Peoples. We'll piece together a story told by DNA fragments recovered from a tooth in Siberia, a broken knife found deep beneath a muddy pond in Florida, and children's footprints left thousands of years ago on the shores of an ancient lake in New Mexico. We'll examine why these same pieces of evidence can lead to different interpretations among scholars and how they align—or don't—with the ancient knowledge held by present-day Indigenous descendants.
