SUMMARY:Stress and Human Evolution
DESCRIPTION:RSVP Today! \nHow 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. Data from New Zealand and the United States will be utilized to investigate the biological impacts of exposure to stressors such as trauma\, poverty\, and racial discrimination. In addition\, we will discuss the similarities and differences in biological responses to early life stress in a broad range of species. This research suggests that evolutionarily novel stress exposures in contemporary environments may have maladaptive impacts on our biology\, which in turn may shape disparities in health. \nThis talk is presented in partnership with the American Museum of Natural History with support from Ann and Gordon Getty and Camilla and George Smith.

SUMMARY:Making Things Meaningful in the Ice Age
DESCRIPTION:RSVP Now! \nThe arts provide a key avenue of insight into ancient human behavior and symbolic evolution. In this lecture we will review some of the evidence and analysis of how our ancestors of the later Ice Age used the material and visual world to create meanings\, to develop and solidify social relationships\, and to become “effective world settlers.” The scope of what we call “Paleolithic art” will be a focus because it is such a well-preserved collection of material\, and so many new and exciting ways of studying it have developed over the past years. \nMargaret Conkey is Professor Emerita of the University of California at Berkeley\, which she joined in 1987 after positions at the State University of New York at Binghamton and San Jose State University. Dr. Conkey has made significant contributions to our understanding of the European Paleolithic\, prehistoric art and symbolism\, and feminist and gendered archaeology. One of her most famous fieldwork projects is the Between the Caves project in the French Midi-Pyrenees. The goal of this large-scale project is to provide a context for the art and material culture of the region’s Cro-Magnons through surveying the regions between the caves. With a multidisciplinary international team\, she aims to reconstruct daily life and the environments in which Upper Paleolithic people expressed themselves through art. Her 1984 article “Archaeology and the study of gender\,” written with Janet Spector\, and her 1991 book Engendering the Past: Women and Prehistory\, co-edited with Joan Gero\, are widely regarded as groundbreaking statements in the history of a gendered and feminist archaeology. \nThis lecture is presented in partnership with the Chicago Council on Science and Technology with generous support from Columbia College Chicago. Additional support is provided by Ann and Gordon Getty and Camilla and George Smith.
