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: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: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:The Raw Truth About Cooking
DESCRIPTION:RSVP Today!\n \nFree with RSVP\, for adults 21+ \nAll human cultures use cooking and other means to process food. Why is food processing so universal? And why might it threaten our health today?

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: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:Homo naledi and the Chamber of Secrets
DESCRIPTION:Photo Credit: National Geographic\nThe largest collection of ancient human bones ever discovered in Africa was excavated from chambers deep within South Africa’s Rising Star cave. In 2013\, six women scientists squeezed through the twisting passages of this cave to unearth more than 1\,500 fossils representing at least 15 individuals of the newly discovered early human species Homo naledi. In this lecture\, paleoanthropologist and Homo naledi study team member Dr. Jeremy DeSilva will discuss what we know about these fossils and how these findings are changing not only science\, but how we define “human.” \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:Our Tribal Nature: Tribalism\, Politics\, and Evolution
DESCRIPTION:A Leakey Foundation Survival Symposium\nOnce essential for human survival\, our innate desire to belong now threatens to destroy us. At a moment when our world feels dangerously fragmented and unstable\, “Our Tribal Nature: Tribalism\, Politics\, and Evolution” brings together Sebastian Junger\, Francis Fukuyama\, Richard Wrangham\, and other scholars from top universities to confront the role our tribal instincts play in building communities – and tearing them apart through partisanship\, racism\, and xenophobia. \nBrought to you by The Leakey Foundation\, this landmark symposium will draw on science\, politics\, psychology and more to examine the evolutionary origins and function of tribalism\, its influence on history\, and the role it plays in our increasingly divided world. It’s more urgent than ever for us to understand the power of our tribal nature\, and how we can harness its best qualities to resist its worst. \n

SUMMARY:The Earliest Child: The Significance of “Selam”
DESCRIPTION:This program is FREE to attend\, no registration is necessary. Seating will be first-come\, first-served. \nSelam\, Australopithecus afarensis. Discovered in Dikika\, Ethiopia in 2000.\nWhen did we start to walk on two legs? Use and make stone tools? Have a human-like body proportion? Have a large brain? — These are some of the key questions. Despite major achievements\, many aspects of these questions remain unanswered due to the fragmentary nature of the fossil record. Ongoing research on the earliest child found by Dr. Zeray Alemseged in Dikika\, Ethiopia\, and nicknamed “Selam\,” is shedding light on patterns of childhood\, locomotion\, dental and brain development\, and many issues pertaining to human evolution. \n  \nWhile most of our knowledge in paleoanthropology comes from remains of adult individuals like Lucy\, fossil children also have unique stories to tell. Our knowledge of human evolution will be complete when we combine the two. Join us for a talk with Professor Zeray Alemseged as he presents on how the discovery of an almost complete skeleton of a juvenile early human ancestor has helped scientists answer some of the most pressing questions about human evolution. \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:Cleveland\, Lucy\, and Human Evolution
DESCRIPTION:This event is sold out. \nIn 1975 the 3.2-million-year-old hominin fossil known as “Lucy” arrived in Cleveland\, where she and hundreds of other fossils would spend the next five years. Dr. Donald Johanson’s lab at the Cleveland Museum of Natural History became a hotbed of activity as scientists traveled from all over the world to see the collection. Forty-five years later\, Dr. Johanson will share his story of the excitement and controversy of the “golden age” of paleoanthropology. He will reflect on Lucy’s role as ambassador to the past and her profound impact on the field of human origins. \nPresented in partnership with the Cleveland Museum of Natural History and Institute of Human Origins. \nSponsored by:\nCamilla and George Smith\nAnn and Gordon Getty

SUMMARY:Living on the Edge: Neanderthals and Denisovans in Central Asia
DESCRIPTION:Buy Tickets Now! \nGeneral Admission: $15\nLeakey Foundation: $12 \nCentral Asia and Siberia have for a long time played a very limited role in discussions of modern human origins. These areas were seen as peripheral to our story\, which was thought to have mostly unfolded in Africa\, Europe\, and Eastern Asia. This story\, however\, is starting to change. \nOver the last few years\, new research is yielding evidence that Central Asia—particularly the Altai Mountains—was hardly the periphery but a hub of interaction for a variety of different hominin groups\, from early modern humans and Neanderthals to the enigmatic Denisovans\, a group only known from a few fragmentary fossils and their DNA. \nIn this lecture\, Dr. Viola will share how ancient DNA and archaeological and morphological data are advancing our understanding of how these groups interacted—biologically\, geographically\, and culturally. \nThis event is presented in partnership by The Leakey Foundation and the California Academy of Sciences. \nSponsored by:\nCamilla and George Smith\nAnn and Gordon Getty

This story\, however\, is starting to change. \nOver the last few years\, new research is yielding evidence that Central Asia—particularly the Altai Mountains—was hardly the periphery but a hub of interaction for a variety of different hominin groups\, from early modern humans and Neanderthals to the enigmatic Denisovans\, a group only known from a few fragmentary fossils and their DNA. \nIn this lecture\, Dr. Viola will share how ancient DNA and archaeological and morphological data are advancing our understanding of how these groups interacted—biologically\, geographically\, and culturally. \nThis event is presented in partnership by The Leakey Foundation and the California Academy of Sciences. \nSponsored by:\nCamilla and George Smith\nAnn and Gordon Getty
