Evolution and Spread of the Most Cooperative and Invasive Species: Us
California Academy of Sciences 55 Music Concourse Dr 94118, San Francisco, CA, United StatesScientists have identified several milestones in the evolution of the way humans find and consume food: increased meat portions, diet diversity, and the transition to food production. These changes have had far-reaching impacts on biological, behavioral, and cultural evolution.

The Power Paradox
Public Works 161 Erie Street, San Francisco, CA, United StatesIt is taken for granted that power corrupts. This is reinforced culturally by everything from Machiavelli to contemporary politics. But how do we get power? And how does it change our behavior? Join The Leakey Foundation, The Bay Area Science Festival and U.C. Berkeley psychologist Dacher Keltner for an evening exploring the evolution of power and learn the surprising origin of enduring power.

$10.00 – $38.28More than Genes: Predators, Parasites and Partners of the Human Body
The Houston Museum of Natural Science 5555 Hermann Park Drive, Houston, TX, United StatesWe evolved in a wilderness of parasites, mutualists, and pathogens, but we no longer see ourselves as being part of nature and the broader community of life. In the name of progress and clean living, we scrub much of nature off our bodies; however, a host of species still cling to us and always will. This is not necessarily a bad thing. Join biologist and author Robert Dunn as we explore the influence these wild species have on our well-being and the world.

Nutrition in Wild Orangutans: Insights into Human Health
The Houston Museum of Natural Science 5555 Hermann Park Drive, Houston, TX, United StatesPrimate dietary ecologist Dr. Erin Vogel will discuss how information from diet, behavior, and physiology can help us understand how orangutans are adapted for survival in Borneo’s forests and shed light on the current obesity epidemic in modern day humans.

Stress and Human Evolution
American Museum of Natural History 56 West 81st St., New York, NY, United StatesHow does stress “get under the skin” to influence health? What about our evolutionary history causes our bodies to respond in this way? This talk will explore these questions by describing the biological mechanisms through which early life stress exposures influence later life biology and health.
