SUMMARY:The Earliest Child: The Significance of “Selam”
DESCRIPTION:This program is FREE to attend\, no registration is necessary. Seating will be first-come\, first-served. \nSelam\, Australopithecus afarensis. Discovered in Dikika\, Ethiopia in 2000.\nWhen did we start to walk on two legs? Use and make stone tools? Have a human-like body proportion? Have a large brain? — These are some of the key questions. Despite major achievements\, many aspects of these questions remain unanswered due to the fragmentary nature of the fossil record. Ongoing research on the earliest child found by Dr. Zeray Alemseged in Dikika\, Ethiopia\, and nicknamed “Selam\,” is shedding light on patterns of childhood\, locomotion\, dental and brain development\, and many issues pertaining to human evolution. \n  \nWhile most of our knowledge in paleoanthropology comes from remains of adult individuals like Lucy\, fossil children also have unique stories to tell. Our knowledge of human evolution will be complete when we combine the two. Join us for a talk with Professor Zeray Alemseged as he presents on how the discovery of an almost complete skeleton of a juvenile early human ancestor has helped scientists answer some of the most pressing questions about human evolution. \nPresented in partnership with the Chicago Council on Science and Technology and The Chicago Public Library\, Harold Washington Center. \nSponsored by:\nCamilla and George Smith\nAnn and Gordon Getty

SUMMARY:The Origins of the Genus Homo
DESCRIPTION:KNM-FR181 © Fred Spoor\nWhen did our ancestors look the way we expect the earliest members of our genus to have looked? When did they behave in the way we expect the earliest members of our genus to have behaved? The search for what defines the genus Homo has spanned decades and is still debated among scientists today. In this talk\, paleoanthropologist Dr. Bernard Wood will survey the history of attempts to find 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. \nThis event is free to attend\, no registration is necessary. \nDoors open at 6:00 pm for a book signing of Dr. Bernard Wood’s book Human Evolution: A Very Short Introduction. \nPresented in partnership with the Chicago Council on Science and Technology and The Chicago Public Library\, Harold Washington Center. \nSponsored by:\nCamilla and George Smith\nAnn and Gordon Getty

SUMMARY:The Secret Lives of Female Chimpanzees
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS \n  \nFemale apes are easily overshadowed by their larger\, more boisterous male counterparts. Thus\, the nature of female social relationships has been shrouded in mystery. The subtlety of social behavior in female chimpanzees belies a complex set of strategies that allow them to navigate the costs and benefits of group life. By combining decades of behavioral research with innovative non-invasive approaches\, Dr. Emery Thompson and her colleagues at the Kibale Chimpanzee Project have uncovered fascinating details about the secret lives of female chimpanzees. She will discuss how females negotiate rivalries to obtain the resources they need to reproduce\, the chaotic\, and sometimes violent\, nature of sexual relationships with males\, and the unexpected ways these relationships change with age. Along the way\, you will learn about the challenges and rewards of studying this fascinating species in the wild. \nTickets for this event are $12 for general admission or $6 for students with a student ID. \nThis program is presented in partnership with the Chicago Council of Science and Technology. \n  \nThe Chicago Council on Science and Technology (C2ST) believes that science is for everyone. They are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization with the mission of enhancing the public’s understanding of science and technology and their impact on society. \n  \n  \nBUY TICKETS
