SUMMARY:Innovation and Environmental Disruption During the Origin of Homo sapiens
DESCRIPTION:  \nPhoto Credit: Jason Nichols\nRecent discoveries at the Kenyan site of Olorgesailie offer insight into how environmental shifts drove early humans in East Africa to develop stone tool innovations\, trade between distant groups\, and use coloring material by 320\,000 years ago\, tens of thousands of years earlier than previously thought. These milestones in technological\, ecological\, and social evolution coincided with the oldest ages for fossils attributed to Homo sapiens in Africa. \nIn this talk\, Dr. Rick Potts will discuss the exciting implications of his team’s findings. These obsidian tools\, valued for their sharp edges\, were carried up to 55 miles from their source into the rugged terrain of the Kenya rift valley. This long-distance exchange between distant groups is an indicator of social networks\, which are critical for survival in unpredictable environments. He will also discuss how dramatic variations in fresh water\, vegetation\, and landscapes took place during this critical transition in human behavior and may reflect the origin of adaptability in our species. \nRegistration is not required for this event and admission is free.

SUMMARY:Mama's Last Hug: What Animal Emotions Reveal About Humans
DESCRIPTION:6:30 PM Lecture\n7:30 PM Book Signing \nBuy Tickets Now! \nNew York Times best-selling author and primatologist Frans de Waal explores the fascinating world of animal and human emotions. His new book\, Mama’s Last Hug\, opens with the dramatic farewell between Mama\, a dying fifty-nine-year-old chimpanzee matriarch\, and biologist Jan van Hooff. This heartfelt final meeting of two longtime friends\, widely shared as a video\, offers a window into how deep and instantly recognizable these bonds can be. So begins Frans de Waal’s whirlwind tour of new ideas and findings about animal emotions\, based on his renowned studies of the social and emotional lives of chimpanzees\, bonobos\, and other primates. \nDe Waal discusses facial expressions\, animal sentience and consciousness\, Mama’s life and death\, the emotional side of human politics\, and the illusion of free will. He distinguishes between emotions and feelings\, all the while emphasizing the continuity between our species and other species. And he makes the radical proposal that emotions are like organs:  We don’t have a single organ that other animals don’t have\, and the same is true for our emotions. \nCome for an illuminating discussion about the similarities between animals and humans from a man who has been named to Time magazine’s list of the 100 most influential people. \nTICKET INFORMATION: \nLeakey Foundation General Admission: $20.00\nLeakey Foundation Premium Admission: $50.00 (Includes priority seating in the first rows and a copy of Dr. de Waal’s book) \nThis event is produced in partnership with the California Academy of Sciences and Commonwealth Club of California. \nSponsored by:\nAnn and Gordon Getty\nCamilla and George Smith

SUMMARY:The New Chimpanzee: A Twenty-First-Century Portrait of Our Closest Kin
DESCRIPTION:Photo Credit: Dr. Craig Stanford\nFamed primatologist Jane Goodall forever changed our understanding of culture and animal intelligence when she discovered that wild chimpanzees were fashioning tools from sticks. Her mentor Louis Leakey exclaimed “Now\, we must redefine ‘tool\,’ redefine ‘man\,’ or accept chimpanzees as humans.” In the 21st century\, we continue to redefine ourselves in light of new revolutionary discoveries about chimpanzees. \nIn this lecture and his new book The New Chimpanzee\, Craig Stanford reviews what the past two decades of chimpanzee field research has taught us about the origins of human social behavior\, the nature of aggression and communication\, and the divergence of humans and apes from our common ancestor. From culture to warfare\, from our diet to our politics\, the study of wild chimpanzees continues to change the way we understand both human nature and the apes themselves. \nThis event is produced in partnership with the California Academy of Sciences. \nSponsored by:\nAnn and Gordon Getty\nCamilla and George Smith

SUMMARY:What Makes Us Human? Lessons from the Study of Wild Chimpanzees
DESCRIPTION:Buy Tickets Now! \n \nChimpanzees and their sister species\, the bonobo\, are humankind’s closest living relatives. Because of this close evolutionary relationship\, chimpanzees provide a model system to evaluate claims about human uniqueness. \nJohn Mitani’s 23-year study of an unusually large community of chimpanzees at Ngogo in Kibale National Park\, Uganda\, continues to challenge our notions of what makes us human. \nIn this talk\, Mitani will review findings that reveal some interesting parallels between humans and chimpanzees with respect to friendships\, longevity\, and cooperation. Humans form long-lasting friendships\, live a very long time\, and are an unusually cooperative species. Studies of the Ngogo chimpanzees indicate that the gap between them and us in these regards may be smaller than previously thought. These findings furnish new insights into chimpanzee behavior and are particularly relevant as we continue to struggle to conserve the dwindling populations of these animals. \nThis event is produced in partnership with the Chicago Council on Science and Technology and the Lincoln Park Zoo. \nSponsored by:\nAnn and Gordon Getty\nCamilla and George Smith

SUMMARY:Family Class: Skin We Are In
DESCRIPTION:  \nIllustrations by Lynne Fellman\nWhen we meet someone\, one of the things we notice is the color of their skin. But what can someone’s skin color tell us about them? Despite what some people say\, your skin color means very little! Inside we’re all the same. \nJoin anthropologist Nina Jablonski for an exploration of the science behind skin color. Jablonski will discuss the history of skin and its meaning. She will also read from her new book  Skin We Are In. \nMore about Skin We Are In \nSkin We Are In is the story of Njabulo\, Aisha\, Tim\, Chris and Roshni\, five friends who explore why humans have different skin and how people’s thinking about skin color has changed throughout history. The conversation topics of the children’s adventure are expanded and supported by scientific facts and research set amidst beautiful and vivid illustrations. \nSkin We Are In is a collaboration between anthropologist Nina G. Jablonski\, South African author Sindiwe Magona\, and illustrator Lynn Fellman. \nCopies of Skin We Are In will be available for purchase at the event. \nThe book is aimed at children between the ages of 8 and 14. \nThis event is produced in partnership with the Houston Museum of Natural Science. \nSponsored by:\nThe Brown Foundation\, Inc.\nAnn and Gordon Getty\nCamilla and George Smith

SUMMARY:Family Class: Skin We Are In
DESCRIPTION:  \nIllustrations by Lynne Fellman\nWhen we meet someone\, one of the things we notice is the color of their skin. But what can someone’s skin color tell us about them? Despite what some people say\, your skin color means very little! Inside we’re all the same. \nJoin anthropologist Nina Jablonski for an exploration of the science behind skin color. Jablonski will discuss the history of skin and its meaning. She will also read from her new book  Skin We Are In. \nMore about Skin We Are In \nSkin We Are In is the story of Njabulo\, Aisha\, Tim\, Chris and Roshni\, five friends who explore why humans have different skin and how people’s thinking about skin color has changed throughout history. The conversation topics of the children’s adventure are expanded and supported by scientific facts and research set amidst beautiful and vivid illustrations. \nSkin We Are In is a collaboration between anthropologist Nina G. Jablonski\, South African author Sindiwe Magona\, and illustrator Lynn Fellman. \nCopies of Skin We Are In will be available for purchase at the event. \nThe book is aimed at children between the ages of 8 and 14. \nThis event is produced in partnership with the Houston Museum of Natural Science. \nSponsored by:\nThe Brown Foundation\, Inc.\nAnn and Gordon Getty\nCamilla and George Smith

SUMMARY:The Evolution and Meanings of Human Skin Color
DESCRIPTION:Buy Tickets Now!\n \nVariation in human skin color has fascinated and perplexed people for centuries. As the most visible aspect of human variation\, skin color has been used in the past as a basis for classifying people into “races.” \nIn this lecture\, Nina Jablonski will discuss the evolution of human skin color and how color-based race concepts have influenced societies and social well-being. The evolution of human skin color is one of the best examples of natural selection acting on the human body. In the 200\,000 year history of modern humans\, similar skin colors have evolved independently numerous times in response to similar environmental conditions. Understanding the evolution and social importance of skin color can help eliminate color-based discrimination and racism. \nThis event is produced in partnership with the Houston Museum of Natural Science. \n“Early Bird” tickets are $16 or $10 for Leakey Foundation supporters and museum members until September 19. \nTo receive the discount\, call the museum box office at (713) 639-4629 and use the promo code “LECLeakeyFnd.” \nStudent Admission (at box office with valid student ID) – $8.00 \nSponsored by:\nThe Brown Foundation\, Inc.\nAnn and Gordon Getty\nCamilla and George Smith

SUMMARY:The Origins of the Genus Homo
DESCRIPTION:KNM-FR181 © Fred Spoor\nWhen did our ancestors look the way we expect the earliest members of our genus to have looked? When did they behave in the way we expect the earliest members of our genus to have behaved? The search for what defines the genus Homo has spanned decades and is still debated among scientists today. In this talk\, paleoanthropologist Dr. Bernard Wood will survey the history of attempts to find the earliest members of the genus Homo\, including very recent and controversial additions. He will review the complications that arise from defining the genus and discuss how half-a-century of paleontological research has taught him what to look for within the hominin fossil record when searching for the origins of our genus Homo. \nThis event is free to attend\, no registration is necessary. \nDoors open at 6:00 pm for a book signing of Dr. Bernard Wood’s book Human Evolution: A Very Short Introduction. \nPresented in partnership with the Chicago Council on Science and Technology and The Chicago Public Library\, Harold Washington Center. \nSponsored by:\nCamilla and George Smith\nAnn and Gordon Getty

SUMMARY:Atapuerca: Crossroads of Human Evolution in Europe
DESCRIPTION:Get tickets now!  \n© Atapuerca Foundation\nArchaeological sites at Sierre de Atapuerca in Northern Spain offer extraordinary insight into the evolution of humankind. Atapuerca is a unique treasure trove that includes the earliest and most abundant evidence of humans in Europe\, the earliest evidence of human cannibalism\, and possibly the first burial in our history. Atapuerca is a UNESCO World Heritage site celebrated for its outstanding contribution to reconstructing the earliest human communities in Europe. In this talk María Martinón-Torres will discuss her work tracing the origins of our closest extinct relatives\, the Neanderthals. She will also share how fossils of Homo antecessor\, an early human species\, found at Atapuerca have shifted our understanding of the ancestry of the first Europeans. \nThis event is produced in partnership with the California Academy of Sciences. \nSponsored by: \nAnn and Gordon Getty \nCamilla and George Smith \nVirginia and Wilson Crook \nRebecca del Rio and Numa Marlborough

SUMMARY:What Makes Us Human? Lessons from the Study of Wild Chimpanzees
DESCRIPTION:Chimpanzees and their sister species\, the bonobo\, are humankind’s closest living relatives. Because of this close evolutionary relationship\, chimpanzees provide a model system to evaluate claims about human uniqueness.  \nJohn Mitani’s 23-year study of an unusually large community of chimpanzees at Ngogo in Kibale National Park\, Uganda\, continues to challenge our notions of what makes us human. \n In this talk\, Mitani will review findings that reveal some interesting parallels between humans and chimpanzees with respect to friendships\, longevity\, and cooperation.  Humans form long-lasting friendships\, live a very long time\, and are an unusually cooperative species. Studies of the Ngogo chimpanzees indicate that the gap between them and us in these regards may be smaller than previously thought. These findings furnish new insights into chimpanzee behavior and are particularly relevant as we continue to struggle to conserve the dwindling populations of these animals. \nThis event is produced in partnership with the Houston Museum of Natural Science. \nSponsored by:\nThe Brown Foundation\, Inc.\nAnn and Gordon Getty\nCamilla and George Smith
