SUMMARY:Alesi: The Life\, Death\, and Discovery of an Ancestor
DESCRIPTION:Register Today! \nNyanzapithecus alesi © Fred Spoor\nThe recent discovery of a 13 million-year-old fossil infant ape skull has offered a rare glimpse of what the common ancestor of all living apes and humans may have looked like. The fossil\, nicknamed “Alesi\,” belongs to a newly named species called Nyanzapithecus alesi. Alesi was discovered in a desolate region of Kenya by John Ekusi\, a member of Dr. Isaiah Nengo’s research team. In this talk\, Dr. Nengo will share the story of finding this rare fossil and discuss the secrets that cutting-edge technology has uncovered about the life of this ancient infant. \nPresented by The Leakey Foundation and the Chicago Council on Science and Technology \nWith generous support from:\n Camilla and George Smith\n Ann and Gordon Getty \n  \n  \n  \nCheck out our Origin Stories podcast episode featuring Isaiah Nengo! \n \n

SUMMARY:The Origins of the Genus Homo
DESCRIPTION:Buy Tickets \nKNM-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. \nPresented by The Leakey Foundation and the California Academy of Sciences \nWith generous support from:\nCamilla and George Smith\nAnn and Gordon Getty \n  \nCheck out our Origin Stories podcast episode featuring Bernard Wood! \nhttps://soundcloud.com/origin-stories/episode-07-the-currant-bush-of

SUMMARY:Science Speakeasy: Fake or Fact?
DESCRIPTION:Buy Tickets Now! \n \nHow can you tell what’s fake and what’s fact when it comes to science? Join New York University biological anthropologist Dr. Todd Disotell and Science Friday’s Undiscovered podcast co-host and producer Elah Feder for an evening separating the fantastical from the factual. \nDisotell will discuss how he uses DNA evidence to test hypotheses on everything from the intricacies of our evolution to the existence of “Bigfoot.” Feder will share a story about a science headline gone wrong and her quest to find the truth.  \nScience Speakeasy mixes science with storytelling and blends learning with conversation\, drinks\, food\, hands-on experiments\, and more. \nAges 21+\, ID required for entry \nPresented by The Leakey Foundation and the Bay Area Science Festival \nWith generous support from:\nCamilla and George Smith\nAnn and Gordon Getty

SUMMARY:Rewriting Modern Human Origins: Insights from New Discovery in Morocco
DESCRIPTION:Buy Tickets Now! \nComposite reconstruction of Homo sapiens fossils from Jebel Irhoud\, Morocco © Philipp Gunz\nNewly discovered Homo sapiens fossils in Jebel Irhoud\, Morocco\, push back the origins of our species by 100\,000 years. The fossils show that by about 300\,000 years ago\, important changes in our biology and behavior had taken place across most of Africa. Dr. Shara Bailey is part of the international research team that has been studying these fossils. In this talk Dr. Bailey will discuss her comprehensive study of the cranial and dental remains. She will also share how these fossils are reshaping our understanding of how we evolved. \nPresented by The Leakey Foundation and the Houston Museum of Natural Science \nWith generous support from:\nThe Brown Foundation\, Inc.\nCamilla and George Smith\nAnn and Gordon Getty \n  \n  \nCheck out our Origin Stories podcast episode featuring Shara Bailey! \nhttps://soundcloud.com/origin-stories/episode-16-neanderthals \n

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

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: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: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: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
