SUMMARY:Grandmothers and Human Evolution
DESCRIPTION:  \nGrandmothers contribute to our big brains\, obsession with reputations\, and the cultural construction of our daily lives. Evolutionary anthropologist Dr. Kristen Hawkes will share her research that shows that grandmothers are not only vital to child rearing and cooperation\, but also to forming interdependent economies. Hawkes uses insights into our ancestors’ behavior revealed by her work with modern hunter-gatherer groups\, such as the Hadza people of Tanzania who live primarily by hunting and harvesting wild foods. \nPresented in partnership with the Houston Museum of Natural Science. \nSponsored by:The Brown Foundation\, Inc.Ann and Gordon GettyCamilla and George Smith

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

SUMMARY:2020 Fellows Tour: Origins - Ethiopia
DESCRIPTION:Origins - Ethiopia\, January 2-19\, 2020\nEthiopia is a land of awe-inspiring physical beauty\, extraordinary scientific research\, ancient culture\, unique traditions\, and incredible food and coffee. Home to the largest number of UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Africa\, Ethiopia is a destination like no other. \nThis once-in-a-lifetime adventure will take you from the bustling city of Addis Ababa to the extraordinary stone churches of Lalibela\, to the remote Afar region and Hadar where Lucy was discovered. \nYour journey begins in London with a guided tour of Charles Darwin’s home and the British Natural History Museum. In Addis Ababa\, you’ll enjoy luxury accommodations and behind-the-scenes guided tours of several museums. At the National Museum of Ethiopia\, you will meet Leakey Foundation grantees and see some of the world’s most important fossils\, including Lucy and Selam. \n \nYou will visit the Simien Mountains\, called the Grand Canyon of Africa\, where you will spend a day with Leakey Foundation grantees studying gelada monkeys. You’ll see several UNESCO World Heritage Sites\, including the 17th-century castles of Gondar and the ancient rock-hewn churches of Lalibela. \nA highlight of the “Origins-Ethiopia” tour will be the Afar region of the Great Rift Valley\, where our human ancestors once lived. There\, you will join Dr. Yohannes Haile-Selassie at his Waranso-Mille Paleontological Project\, a recently identified paleontological treasure trove. Then you will journey to nearby Hadar and see the site where the famous fossil Lucy was discovered. \nHave questions?

SUMMARY:The Evolution of the Human Mind - CANCELED
DESCRIPTION:NOTICE: After careful consideration\, we have decided to cancel this event. It will be rescheduled for a later date.\nHow did our extraordinary cognitive abilities evolve? Alexandra Rosati\, an assistant professor of anthropology and psychology at the University of Michigan\, addresses questions like this by studying the cognition of a variety of primates including apes\, monkeys\, and lemurs. By comparing how different species think\, she looks for revealing clues about the origins of our own psychological abilities such as memory and decision-making. \nThis event is part of the SciCafe series at the American Museum of Natural History. SciCafe is a popular after-hours event that brings together inquisitive minds for an informal evening of drinks and conversation about cutting-edge science topics with experts from the field. \nAdmission is free! Reserve your space now. Doors open at 6:30 pm\, program starts at 7:00 pm. \nThis talk is co-sponsored by the American Museum of Natural History. Support comes from Ann and Gordon Getty and Camilla and George Smith.

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? 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.
