SUMMARY:Virtual Lecture: The Secrets of Chimpanzee Society
DESCRIPTION:Register for free today!\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat can the private behavior of chimpanzee society teach us about human evolution and our own societal development? \n\n\n\nBiologist Liran Samuni from Harvard University’s Department of Human Evolutionary Biology specializes in the study of underlying mechanisms of cooperation and intergroup relations in chimpanzees. In this lecture\, she’ll explore some of the more fascinating aspects of group relationships in chimpanzees\, from cooperation and conflict to group belonging\, solidarity\, and in-group support\, providing a glimpse into how our own human behavior in societal systems might have occurred. \n\n\n\nDr. Samuni is the 2021 recipient of The Leakey Foundation’s Gordon P. Getty Award Laureate. This prestigious award is given to an individual who shows extraordinary originality and dedication in their intellectual and professional pursuits while exemplifying a multidisciplinary approach to human origins research. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDr. Liran Samuni is a behavioral ecologist and primatologist and currently a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Pan Lab\, led by Dr. Martin Surbeck at the department of Human Evolutionary Biology in Harvard. Dr. Samuni is a Leakey Foundation grantee and the 2021 recipient of the Gordon Getty Award. She completed my PhD in Biology at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in 2019 and received her Masters in Zoology from the Tel-Aviv University in 2013. She studies the intersection between intergroup dynamics\, cooperation\, and social bonds in chimpanzees and bonobos\, our closest living relatives\, as windows into our past. She approaches these questions by observing wild chimpanzees at the Taï National Park\, Côte d’Ivoire\, and wild bonobos at the Kokolopori Bonobo Reserve\, DR Congo. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nSponsored by:The Ann and Gordon Getty FoundationCamilla and George SmithThe Joan and Arnold Travis Education Fund \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister for free today!

SUMMARY:Where's the love? The secrets of chimpanzee relationships
DESCRIPTION:Are humans the only animals that experience love?  \n\n\n\nPrimatologist Rachna Reddy and psychologist Jan Engelmann discuss possible evidence of love among chimpanzees and bonobos and share observations from new research aimed at understanding this complex emotion. \n\n\n\nThis program features a 30-minute discussion on Zoom with Dr. Rachna Reddy\, and Dr. Jan Engelmann\, followed by a chance to ask the experts your questions about love\, primate behavior\, and evolution. \n\n\n\nPresented by The Leakey Foundation’s Evolution Exchange (formerly Young Professionals Group). Learn more and join! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDr. Rachna Reddy is a Postdoctoral Associate in Evolutionary Anthropology at Duke University and Research Associate in Human Evolutionary Biology at Harvard University. She is a Leakey Foundation grant recipient who investigates how social relationships shape human life by studying our closest living relatives in the wild. By following known individual chimpanzees and bonobos through rainforests\, Rachna observes their day-to-day experiences and learns how and why they form\, break\, and maintain different types of relationships as they grow up and grow old. Most of her research takes place at Ngogo in the Kibale National Park\, Uganda. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDr. Jan Engelmann is Assistant Professor of Psychology at the University of California\, Berkeley. Jan studies the evolution of cognition and behavior by comparing chimpanzees\, one of our closest living relatives\, to humans across different cultures. One main research focus is the evolution of cooperation. Most of what makes humans such unusual primates has to do\, in one way or another\, with our especially social and cultural lifestyles\, which result in cooperative forms of thinking and acting. Jan is interested in how cooperation in chimpanzees differs from\, and is similar to\, cooperation in humans. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nSponsored by:The Ann and Gordon Getty Foundation\, Camilla and George Smith\, and The Joan and Arnold Travis Education Fund.

SUMMARY:At the Root of Human Hair
DESCRIPTION:Why do humans have the bulk of our hair on our heads\, not our bodies? \n\n\n\n\n\nThis important but often neglected evolutionary question is central to the work of Tina Lasisi\, a biological anthropologist at the University of Southern California. In this talk\, Lasisi will tease out the mysteries behind why humans have scalp hair and why we may have developed different hair textures as we’ve evolved. She will share the unique methods used in her research\, including the use of robots with wigs to understand the thermoregulatory role of scalp hair and its protection against solar radiation\, as well as her insights on why tightly curled hair is unique to our species.  \n\n\n\n\n\nEvent notes: SciCafe is 21+ and free with RSVP. This event is an in-person lecture in New York. A recording of the lecture will be available several weeks after the live program.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDr. Tina Lasisi is a biological anthropologist with an interest in studying the evolution and genetics of human hair and skin. She is currently a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Southern California in the department of Quantitative & Computational Biology. Her work focuses on developing rigorous methods to understand the landscape of biological variation and a critical lens to investigate how that overlaps with various social concepts. She aims to provide people with the knowledge and tools to understand how we can study human variation and how it matters in everything from cosmetics\, to technology and medicine. She also hosts a show on PBS Terra called Why Am I Like This? and you can find her on Instagram\, Tiktok\, and Twitter. \n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nThis program is presented in collaboration with the American Museum of Natural History. \n\n\n\nSponsored by:The Ann and Gordon Getty FoundationCamilla and George SmithThe Joan and Arnold Travis Education Fund \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister for free today!

SUMMARY:The Botanic Age: Plants and Human Evolution
DESCRIPTION:This talk challenges the idea that stone tools and hunting fueled early human brain evolution. Instead\, it suggests that the “Botanic Age\,” focusing on botanical innovations during the first three million years of hominin evolution\, was crucial. Early hominins’ transition to bipedalism led to infant care challenges\, prompting mothers to create botanical baby containers akin to slings. This innovation sparked new forms of mother-infant communication\, setting the stage for advanced cognitive skills\, including language and music\, long before stone tools emerged in the Stone Age. \n\n\n\nCo-sponsored by the Houston Museum of Natural Science. Made possible by support from the Ann and Gordon Getty Foundation\, Camilla and George Smith\, and the Joan and Arnold Travis Education Fund.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDr. Dean Falk is an American evolutionary anthropologist who lives in Tallahassee\, Florida\, where she is the Hale G. Smith Professor of Anthropology and a Distinguished Research Professor at Florida State University. Much of her work focuses on the evolution of the human brain and the associated emergence of language\, music\, art\, and science. A main focus of her research continues to be the important but frequently neglected role played by women and children during human evolution\, as discussed in her book Finding Our Tongues: Mothers\, Infants & the Origins of Language (2009).

SUMMARY:Climate Control
DESCRIPTION:Humans evolved in the natural world with little to no control over our environment. \n\n\n\nOver time\, humans began to find ways to adapt to varying climates by making clothing and shelter\, and\, eventually\, by controlling fire. This ultimately led to central heating and air conditioning\, but at great cost.   \n\n\n\nIn this SciCafe\, join Kevin Uno\, associate professor in the Department of Human Evolutionary Biology at Harvard University\, for a discussion on the ways in which humanity’s need to control its own environment has led to dire impacts on global climate and where do we go from here.   \n\n\n\nPlease note\, SciCafe is intended to be a casual\, social environment. Seating is not guaranteed.   \n\n\n\nASL interpretation will be provided for this program.   \n\n\n\nNote: SciCafe is 21+ and free with RSVP. This event is an in-person lecture in New York. Sign up for our events newsletter for an update when the recording is available.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDr. Kevin Uno is an Associate Professor in the Department of Human Evolutionary Biology at Harvard University. He is a paleoecologist whose primary research focuses on the role of climate and environmental change on mammalian and human evolution. He has led or co-authored a series of papers that linked dietary changes in mammals and hominins to late Neogene vegetation change. Since 2013\, he has focused on the development and application of molecular biomarker analyses on terrestrial and marine sediments to reconstruct ecosystem structure\, hydroclimate\, and fire in ancient environments.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis program is presented in collaboration with the American Museum of Natural History. \n\n\n\nSponsored by:The Ann and Gordon Getty FoundationCamilla and George SmithThe Joan and Arnold Travis Education Fund

SUMMARY:Lucy and the Taung Child: A Century of Science
DESCRIPTION:A century ago\, a small skull discovered at a South African quarry challenged what we thought we knew about human origins. Fifty years later\, the discovery of Lucy in Ethiopia further transformed our understanding of how we became human.  \n\n\n\nJoin experts from Ethiopia\, South Africa\, and North America for a free online event that examines a hundred years of challenges and progress in paleoanthropology. \n\n\n\nThe speakers will explore the historical context and lasting significance of the Lucy and Taung Child discoveries. They will discuss what these fossils meant at the time and how they impacted the African scientific community. Looking to the future\, they will address the vital need for funding African scholars and strengthening African scientific collaboration. \n\n\n\nThis program is presented in partnership with the Institute of Human Origins (IHO) and the Palaeontological Scientific Trust (PAST). It is made possible by generous support from Camilla and George Smith\, the Ann and Gordon Getty Foundation\, and the Joan and Arnold Travis Education Fund. \n\n\n\nRegister for free\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nModerator and speaker bios\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nProgram Moderator \n\n\n\nDr. Lauren Schroeder is a paleoanthropologist who studies how hominin skulls and jaws have changed and evolved over time. She is an associate professor at the University of Toronto Mississauga.  \n\n\n\nDr. Shroeder is a Leakey Foundation grantee and Baldwin Fellow from South Africa who earned her PhD at the University of Cape Town. She has been involved in both the Malapa (Australopithecus sediba) and Rising Star (Homo naledi) projects as part of the research team studying the fossil hominin discoveries from these sites. Her current research includes collaborative projects on the evolution\, integration\, and variability of the primate skeleton. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDr. Yohannes Haile-Selassie is Virginia M. Ullman Professor of Natural History and the Environment in the School of Human Evolution and Social Change and Director of the Institute of Human Origins at ASU. He is a multiple-time Leakey Foundation grantee who has made numerous important fossil discoveries\, including the “cranium of a 3.8-million-year-old Australopithecus anamensis. Dr. Haile-Selassie leads an international multidisciplinary team that conducts fieldwork in the Afar Region of Ethiopia\, 30 miles north of Hadar\, where the Lucy fossil was discovered. His research interest is understanding the paleobiology and paleoecology of early human ancestors based on the fossil record. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDr. Dipuo Kgotleng is Director of the Palaeo-Research Institute at the University of Johannesburg\, which she helped establish. Dr. Kgotleng has vast experience in South Africa’s heritage policy development and management. When Taung Skull World Heritage Site and Vredefort Dome World Heritage were inscribed into the World Heritage Register in 2005\, she was appointed as the first archaeologist for both sites. She was the lead project manager for the establishment of South Africa’s Strategy for the Palaeosciences which is the blueprint for for the management of the discipline in South Africa. She is also a champion for the transformation of the palaeosciences and was one of the first people to call for a transformation charter in archaeology in South Africa.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDr. Denise Su is an associate professor in the School of Human Evolution and Social Change and research associate in the Institute of Human Origins. She joins ASU from the Cleveland Museum of Natural History where she was chief academic engagement officer and curator\, integrating research with public outreach and education and leading initiatives to increase access to and diversify participation in science. Her research focuses on the paleoecology of early hominins and explores environments in which our early ancestors lived in order to provide insight into how environmental factors shaped the trajectory of hominin evolution. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDr. Mirriam Tawane is a core business executive for the National Heritage Council of South Africa. She is a paleoanthropologist who earned her PhD at the University of the Witwatersrand.  \n\n\n\nDr. Tawane served as curator of Plio-Pleistocene paleontology  at the Ditsong National Museum of Natural History. She has been involved in science outreach for the past ten years\, participating in projects to teach learners and the general community about their heritage with respect to paleosciences\, including Heritage Day celebrations at Taung\, where the famous Taung Child was found.
