SUMMARY:Innovation and Environmental Disruption During the Origin of Homo sapiens
DESCRIPTION:  \nPhoto Credit: Jason Nichols\nRecent discoveries at the Kenyan site of Olorgesailie offer insight into how environmental shifts drove early humans in East Africa to develop stone tool innovations\, trade between distant groups\, and use coloring material by 320\,000 years ago\, tens of thousands of years earlier than previously thought. These milestones in technological\, ecological\, and social evolution coincided with the oldest ages for fossils attributed to Homo sapiens in Africa. \nIn this talk\, Dr. Rick Potts will discuss the exciting implications of his team’s findings. These obsidian tools\, valued for their sharp edges\, were carried up to 55 miles from their source into the rugged terrain of the Kenya rift valley. This long-distance exchange between distant groups is an indicator of social networks\, which are critical for survival in unpredictable environments. He will also discuss how dramatic variations in fresh water\, vegetation\, and landscapes took place during this critical transition in human behavior and may reflect the origin of adaptability in our species. \nRegistration is not required for this event and admission is free.

SUMMARY:Homo naledi and the Chamber of Secrets
DESCRIPTION:Photo Credit: National Geographic\nThe largest collection of ancient human bones ever discovered in Africa was excavated from chambers deep within South Africa’s Rising Star cave. In 2013\, six women scientists squeezed through the twisting passages of this cave to unearth more than 1\,500 fossils representing at least 15 individuals of the newly discovered early human species Homo naledi. In this lecture\, paleoanthropologist and Homo naledi study team member Dr. Jeremy DeSilva will discuss what we know about these fossils and how these findings are changing not only science\, but how we define “human.” \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
