If we are born to walk and run\, why do most of us take it easy whenever possible? And how do we make sense of the conflicting\, anxiety-inducing information about rest\, physical activity\, and exercise with which we are bombarded? In this lecture\, Daniel Lieberman answers these questions and more. \n  \n  \nThis event is presented by The Leakey Foundation\, the Harvard Book Store\, the Harvard University Division of Science\, and the Cabot Science Library. \n  \n\n  \nMore about Dan Lieberman \n  \nDaniel Lieberman is the Edwin M. Lerner II Professor of Biological Sciences at Harvard University\, a member of The Leakey Foundation’s Scientific Executive Committee\, and a pioneering researcher on the evolution of human physical activity. His research is on how and why the human body is the way it is\, with particular foci on the origins of bipedalism\, how humans became superlative endurance runners\, and the evolution of the highly unusual human head. \n  \n\n  \nMore about Exercised \n  \nIn this myth-busting book\, Daniel Lieberman tells the story of how we never evolved to exercise—to do voluntary physical activity for the sake of health. Using his own research and experiences throughout the world\, Lieberman recounts without jargon how and why humans evolved to walk\, run\, dig\, and do other necessary and rewarding physical activities while avoiding needless exertion. His engaging stories and explanations will revolutionize the way you think about exercising—not to mention sitting\, sleeping\, sprinting\, weight lifting\, playing\, fighting\, walking\, jogging\, and even dancing. \n  \nExercised is entertaining and enlightening but also constructive. As our increasingly sedentary lifestyles have contributed to skyrocketing rates of obesity and diseases such as diabetes\, Lieberman audaciously argues that to become more active we need to do more than medicalize and commodify exercise. Drawing on insights from evolutionary biology and anthropology\, Lieberman suggests how we can make exercise more enjoyable\, rather than shaming and blaming people for avoiding it. He also tackles the question of whether you can exercise too much\, even as he explains why exercise can reduce our vulnerability to the diseases most likely to make us sick and kill us. \n  \n\n  \nThis lecture was recorded live on January 5\, 2021. The recording of the lecture will be available later this month.  URL:https://leakeyfoundation.org/event/exercised-daniel-lieberman/ CATEGORIES:Speaker Series ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://leakeyfoundation.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/dan-lieberman-exercised.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20210105T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20210105T170000 DTSTAMP:20260403T141905 CREATED:20201222T190849Z LAST-MODIFIED:20201222T190849Z UID:10000380-1609862400-1609866000@leakeyfoundation.org SUMMARY:Exercised: Why Something We Never Evolved to Do Is Healthy and Rewarding DESCRIPTION:Leakey Foundation grantee Daniel Lieberman discusses his latest book\, Exercised: Why Something We Never Evolved to Do Is Healthy and Rewarding. \n  \nIf exercise is healthy (so good for you!)\, why do many people dislike or avoid it?

DESCRIPTION:Join evolutionary biologists Tina Lasisi and Liz Tapanes to learn why our hair is the way it is.\n\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? \nJoin The Leakey Foundation’s Young Professionals Group for a barber shop talk with two evolutionary biologists and hair enthusiasts\, Tina Lasisi and Liz Tapanes. Learn more about hair from a practical perspective\, from a social perspective\, and from the many overlapping disciplines that have shaped how we think about hair. \nTickets \nTickets to this virtual event are free\, so bring your friends! \nDonations to The Leakey Foundation are optional and greatly appreciated. Your donation will be matched\, so your gift will be doubled! Support science and get cool prizes. \n\nIf you give $25 you will receive a 12 oz. bag of delicious Stumptown Hair Bender coffee – provided by our friends at Stumptown Coffee Roasters!\nIf you give $50 you will receive the Hair Bender coffee AND a mustache face mask.\n\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.

This event brings together seven world-class scholars and science communicators to explore what Darwin got right and what he got wrong about the origin\, history\, and biological variation of humans. \n  \nIn 1871\, Charles Darwin published The Descent of Man\, a companion to On The Origin of Species in which he attempted to explain human evolution\, a topic he called “the highest and most interesting problem for the naturalist.” This event explores how scientific ideas are tested and how evidence helps structure our narratives about human origins\, showing how some of Darwin’s ideas have withstood more than a century of scrutiny while others have not. \n  \nAbout the Event\n  \nThis event features six ten-minute presentations with viewer opportunities to submit questions to the scholars. The event concludes with a discussion led by award-winning science journalist Ann Gibbons. \nJeremy M. DeSilva is an associate professor of anthropology at Dartmouth College and a Leakey Foundation grantee. He studies the origins and evolution of upright walking in the human lineage. DeSilva introduces the program and reflects on Darwin’s impact on science. \nJanet Browne is the Aramont Professor of the History of Science at Harvard University. She has written a two-volume biography of Charles Darwin—Darwin: Voyaging and Darwin: The Power of Place. In 2013\, she wrote the introduction to a republishing of Darwin’s Descent of Man. Browne reflects on Darwin’s life and times. \nBrian Hare is a professor of evolutionary anthropology at Duke University. His interest in the evolution of social behavior has inspired research on humans’ closest ape relatives and humans’ best friend\, the dog. Hare explores the Darwinian road to morality. \nYohannes Haile-Selassie is the Curator and Head of Physical Anthropology at the Cleveland Museum of Natural History and a Leakey Foundation grantee. He has made some of the most significant early human fossil discoveries in the history of paleoanthropology. Haile-Selassie reflects on the fossil evidence for human evolution. \nAgustín Fuentes is a professor of anthropology at Princeton University. He is the author of Why We Believe: Evolution and the Human Way of Being\, The Creative Spark: How Imagination Made Humans Exceptional\, and Race\, Monogamy\, and Other Lies They Told You: Busting Myths about Human Nature. Fuentes reflects on race\, racism\, science\, and hope. \nHolly Dunsworth is a professor of anthropology at the University of Rhode Island and a Leakey Foundation grantee. Dunsworth challenges the traditional (often male-biased and Eurocentric) narratives of human evolution with exquisite clarity. She has contributed to NPR’s This I Believe series and her science blogs The Mermaid’s Tale and Origins. Dunsworth reflects on Darwin’s attempt to apply the principles of sexual selection to humans. \nAnn Gibbons is a contributing correspondent for Science magazine and the author of The First Human: The Race to Discover Our Earliest Ancestors. She has taught science writing at Carnegie Mellon University and written about human evolution for National Geographic\, Slate\, Smithsonian magazine\, and other publications. She was recently awarded the 2019 American Geophysical Union’s David Perlman Award for Excellence in Science Journalism. She reflects on Darwin in light of modern knowledge and leads the scholars in a discussion.  \n  \nThis event is made possible by the generous support of the Ann and Gordon Getty Foundation and Camilla and George Smith. \n  \nRegister Today!
