SUMMARY:The Evolution and Meanings of Human Skin Color
DESCRIPTION:Buy Tickets Now!\n \nVariation in human skin color has fascinated and perplexed people for centuries. As the most visible aspect of human variation\, skin color has been used in the past as a basis for classifying people into “races.” \nIn this lecture\, Nina Jablonski will discuss the evolution of human skin color and how color-based race concepts have influenced societies and social well-being. The evolution of human skin color is one of the best examples of natural selection acting on the human body. In the 200\,000 year history of modern humans\, similar skin colors have evolved independently numerous times in response to similar environmental conditions. Understanding the evolution and social importance of skin color can help eliminate color-based discrimination and racism. \nThis event is produced in partnership with the Houston Museum of Natural Science. \n“Early Bird” tickets are $16 or $10 for Leakey Foundation supporters and museum members until September 19. \nTo receive the discount\, call the museum box office at (713) 639-4629 and use the promo code “LECLeakeyFnd.” \nStudent Admission (at box office with valid student ID) – $8.00 \nSponsored by:\nThe Brown Foundation\, Inc.\nAnn and Gordon Getty\nCamilla and George Smith

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
