Lunch Break Science #24 | Kate McGrath

ONE NIGHT ONLY! April 7 at 4 pm PT | 5 pm MT | 6 pm CT | 7 pm ET

Why are humans the way we are? One way to answer this question is to look to our closest cousins, the chimpanzees. Join Leakey Foundation grantees Alexandra Rosati and Zarin Machanda as they examine the world of chimpanzees, including chimpanzee social lives, ecological context, and how they think and solve problems. By understanding what it means to be a chimpanzee, we can turn back the evolutionary clock to glimpse the origins of human cognition and behavior.

This program is presented in partnership by The Leakey Foundation and the American Museum of Natural History.
