SUMMARY:Survival
DESCRIPTION:Our species is facing an unprecedented set of challenges\, including global climate change\, exponential population growth\, and new diseases. Examining these and other challenges using the lens of evolution is necessary to understand why we confront them. But just as importantly\, as we search for solutions\, the evolutionary perspectives can help guide us in building a better\, safer and more survivable future. \nSurvival brings together seven world-renowned speakers and researchers for an inspiring evening of short talks moderated by Emmy Award-winning journalist Miles O’Brien. Join Ruth DeFries\, Daniel Lieberman\, Stuart Pimm\, Steven Pinker\, Pardis Sabeti\, Daniel Schrag and Richard Wrangham as we explore our past\, present\, and future. \nSeating is limited for this event. Please contact info@leakeyfoundation.org to request ticket information. \nPartners: \nSurvival is presented by The Leakey Foundation in partnership with Harvard University’s Department of Human Evolutionary Biology\, NOVA\, NOVALabs\, SMASH\, and WGBH. \nPresenters: \nModerated by Miles O’Brien and featuring: \n\nRuth DeFries – Professor of Sustainable Development\, Columbia University\nDaniel Lieberman – Chair and Professor of Human Evolutionary Biology\, Harvard University\nStuart Pimm – Professor of Conservation Ecology\, Duke University\nSteven Pinker – Professor of Psychology\, Harvard University\nPardis Sabeti – Assistant Professor of Organismic and Evolutionary Biology\, Harvard University\nDaniel Schrag – Professor of Environmental Science and Engineering\, Harvard University\nRichard Wrangham – Professor of Biological Anthropology\, Harvard University

SUMMARY:Being Human: Born and Evolved to Run
DESCRIPTION:Buy Tickets Now! \nWhy did humans become such efficient long-distance runners? How can runners avoid injury? Join Daniel Lieberman on July 28th for Being Human: Born and Evolved to Run and learn about the evolution of endurance running. \nHumans and our recent ancestors have been accomplished endurance runners for more than a million years\, and this evolutionary history as runners partly accounts for why aerobic exercise is such a key component of human health. However\, despite our long history as runners\, studies suggest that at least 30% of runners get injured each year! \nJoin us as we explore how the human body evolved to run and how evolutionary insights can be used to prevent many kinds of injuries. \nSCHEDULE OF EVENTS \nMix\, Mingle and Learn\n6:00-7:00pm Mix and mingle with your fellow humans! Enjoy a fully-stocked bar of beer\, wine\, and delicious cocktails. Visit The Leakey Foundation’s Skeletal Anatomy Table and learn about the unique characteristics of our anatomy that make bipedal walking and running possible. \nBorn and Evolved to Run\n7:05-7:30pm Why are we such efficient long-distance runners? In this talk Daniel Lieberman explores the evolutionary roots of running. Learn how the human body evolved to run and how evolutionary insights can make you a better runner. Daniel Lieberman’s research has been featured on the Colbert Report and in the book Born to Run. \n \nDaniel Lieberman’s Skeletal Biology Lab\n7:40-8:10pm Daniel Lieberman brings his Harvard Skeletal Biology Lab  to Public Works. Lieberman and his colleague Ian Wallace will be demonstrating the biomechanics of running on stage using a treadmill and participation from audience volunteers. Read more about Daniel Lieberman’s Skeletal Biology Lab. \nQuestion and Answer Session\n8:10-8:30pm Dr. Daniel Lieberman will answer all of your questions about running\, human evolution\, and health.\nThis event has limited seating which is available to visitors on a first-come\, first-served basis. Doors do not open until 6:00pm. \n21+ event\, ID required for entry

SUMMARY:Being Human: Your Brain on Art
DESCRIPTION:Buy Tickets Now! \nWhat is the secret of Mona Lisa’s smile? Why do Claude Monet’s fields of flowers seem to wave in the breeze? Join neurobiologist Margaret Livingstone for “Being Human: Your Brain on Art” and learn about the inner workings of human vision. \nFor centuries artists have understood visual perception and learned how to fool the brain. In fact artists have been experimenting with vision longer than neurobiologists. For example\, color and luminance can play independent roles in visual perception. Picasso remarked on this phenomenon\, “Colors are only symbols. Reality is to be found in luminance alone.” These effects used by artists offer insights into how we see\, and these can now be described in terms of the underlying neurobiology. \nJoin in the fun as we explore how art and neurobiology help us understand the nature of the human visual experience. \nAbout Being Human \nBeing Human mixes short talks from great minds with fun hands-on experiments\, drinks\, conversation\, and storytelling. Each month we’ll explore different aspects of our evolution\, our behavior\, and the human experience. \nDoors open at 6 pm for the Being Human Lounge.  Mix and mingle with your fellow humans upstairs in Public Work’s Odd Job Room. Enjoy a different local food vendor and thematic specialty cocktail each month\, plus a fully-stocked bar of beer\, wine\, and delicious cocktails. \nThe Main Room opens at 7 pm for seating. The talk will begin shortly thereafter. \nSeating is limited and available on a first-come first-serve basis. There is plenty of standing room for everyone. \nAge Limit: 21+ \nBuy Tickets Now! \n

SUMMARY:Being Human: Our Symbolic Nature
DESCRIPTION:Buy Tickets Now! \n  \nWhat makes our brains different? How did language change us as a species? Join us on May 17th for Being Human: Our Symbolic Nature…. and learn more about how human language evolved. \nFrom the smallest bacteria to the largest mammal\, most organisms communicate. However\, the way we humans communicate is quite unique in comparison to other organisms. We use a complex web of symbols representing the abstract. These symbols are layered within human culture and require an extensive amount of our brains to interpret. \nJoin Terrence Deacon as we explore our unique capacity for symbolic thought and the role it played in the co-evolution of the human brain and language. \nAbout Being Human \nBeing Human mixes short talks from great minds with fun hands-on experiments\, drinks\, conversation\, and storytelling.

SUMMARY:The Curious Case of Homo naledi
DESCRIPTION:What We Do (and Don't) Know About Our Newest Extinct Relative\nBUY TICKETS \nJoin Dr. William Harcourt-Smith as he explores Homo naledi\, the early human relative recently discovered deep within Rising Star cave in South Africa. This find\, consisting of over 1500 fossil fragments\, is arguably one of the most significant fossil discoveries of the last half-century\, and Harcourt-Smith led one of the first teams to examine the fossils. In this talk he will discuss what makes Homo naledi so unique\, where it may fit within the human lineage and what consequences this ground-breaking discovery may have for our current understanding of human evolution.

SUMMARY:Being Human: Earth's Tipping Point
DESCRIPTION:Buy Tickets \n  \nJoin scientist Elizabeth Hadly for an evening exploring our impact on the planet and what we can do to ensure a bright future for all of Earth’s inhabitants!  \nClimate change. Refugee crises. Food shortages. What we hear in the news every day seems like a series of unrelated crises\, but it is not. Humans have a profound impact on the earth. Our evolutionary course has been shown to produce wonderful results but also unforeseen\, harmful consequences for ourselves and those species who share this planet with us. \nAre we headed toward a dangerous tipping point? Do we feel it is already too late? What changes can we make\, and how do we feel about change? Get your tickets now for a journey into the future of our planet and the ever changing possibilities of Being Human.     \nAbout Being Human\nBeing Human mixes short talks from great minds with fun hands-on experiments\, food and drinks\, conversation\, and storytelling.

SUMMARY:Being Human: The Primates Who Tell Stories
DESCRIPTION:Join cognitive psychologist Tania Lombrozo for an evening exploring humans’ unique storytelling ability. Learn how these “stories\,” or explanations\, are central to our sense of understanding the world around us. \nWe humans are curious creatures. When we don’t understand\, we ask questions. Why is the sky blue? How do birds fly? Why do we behave the way we do? We demand answers\, simple explanations that provide the reason why\, and they are key to how we conceptualize the world and how we exchange ideas. These explanations we form are at the core of our basic cognitive processes like learning\, inference and categorization. \nBeing Human founder Peter Baumann will join Dr. Lombrozo following her talk to further investigate how curiosity is an essential part of the human experience. \nAbout Being Human \nBeing Human mixes short talks from great minds with fun hands-on experiments\, drinks\, conversation\, and storytelling. Each month we’ll explore different aspects of our evolution\, our behavior\, and the human experience. \nDoors open at 6 pm for the Being Human Lounge.  Mix and mingle with your fellow humans upstairs in Public Work’s Odd Job Room. Enjoy a different local food vendor and thematic specialty cocktail each month\, plus a fully-stocked bar of beer\, wine\, and delicious cocktails. \nThe Main Room opens at 7 pm for seating. The talk will begin shortly thereafter. \nSeating is limited and available on a first-come first-serve basis. There is plenty of standing room for everyone. \nAge Limit: 21+

SUMMARY:Beyond Creation and Evolution: Human Origins Studies in a Secular\, Media-Saturated World
DESCRIPTION:Religion and science battled through the Renaissance and Age of Reason. In this struggle\, science overcame\,  and the discovery of evolution by means of natural selection and speciation (nicely coincident with the discovery of the human fossil record) has been cast as the long-sought\, final proof of a naturalistic human essence. It was actually more of a lock on a door that was already closed by people like John Locke and Sir Francis Bacon.\n\nNow there are different\, bigger dangers looming that we can address with the science of human origins. This isn’t creationism in Kansas anymore\, and it takes a diligent support community to identify objectives. So what is the use of the fossil record in this new time\, and how do we approach it? Can the empirical reality of the human fossil record bring people together in a world of increasing extremism? The fossil record is real\, and studying these fossils to illuminate human origins has the potential to go on forever as long as fossils continue to be found\, curated\, and preserved. They are a stable repository of information about what we are\, and as long as the Enlightenment is not extinguished\, any group that endeavors to preserve this legacy will always be remembered.\n\nThis event is free and open to the public. This talk is presented in conjunction with the Smithsonian Institution’s Human Origins Program traveling exhibit\, Exploring Human Origins: What Does It Mean To Be Human?
