The Origins of the Genus Homo
California Academy of Sciences 55 Music Concourse Dr 94118, San Francisco, CA, United StatesIn this talk, paleoanthropologist Dr. Bernard Wood will survey the history of attempts to find fossils of the earliest members of the genus Homo, including very recent and controversial additions. He will review the complications that arise from defining the genus and discuss how half-a-century of paleontological research has taught him what to look for within the hominin fossil record when searching for the origins of our genus Homo.

What Makes Us Human? Lessons from the Study of Wild Chimpanzees
The Houston Museum of Natural Science 5555 Hermann Park Drive, Houston, TX, United StatesIn this talk, John Mitani will discuss how his 23-year study of an unusually large community of chimpanzees at Ngogo in Kibale National Park, Uganda, challenges our notions of what makes us human. Studies of the Ngogo chimpanzees indicate that the gap between them and us may be smaller than previously thought.
