SUMMARY:Science Speakeasy: Fake or Fact?
DESCRIPTION:Buy Tickets Now! \n \nHow can you tell what’s fake and what’s fact when it comes to science? Join New York University biological anthropologist Dr. Todd Disotell and Science Friday’s Undiscovered podcast co-host and producer Elah Feder for an evening separating the fantastical from the factual. \nDisotell will discuss how he uses DNA evidence to test hypotheses on everything from the intricacies of our evolution to the existence of “Bigfoot.” Feder will share a story about a science headline gone wrong and her quest to find the truth.  \nScience Speakeasy mixes science with storytelling and blends learning with conversation\, drinks\, food\, hands-on experiments\, and more. \nAges 21+\, ID required for entry \nPresented by The Leakey Foundation and the Bay Area Science Festival \nWith generous support from:\nCamilla and George Smith\nAnn and Gordon Getty

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.

SUMMARY:Being Human: The Primates Who Tell Stories
DESCRIPTION:Register\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin 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.

SUMMARY:Speaking of Sex...
DESCRIPTION:Join anthropologist David Puts as we explore the origins of human sexuality by looking at the evolution of sexual differences in the human voice. \nThe roar of the male lion may indeed scare away his rivals\, but it might also attract female lions looking for a dominant mate. This is sexual selection in action! The lion with the mighty roar might have a few more opportunities to pass along his genes than the lion with the less impressive voice. \nScientists have found that studying the human voice is also a good way to gain insight into human sexual selection.  The human voice is highly differentiated between the sexes\, and the differences are easily quantifiable. Thus it is an ideal model for understanding the evolutionary processes behind our sexual selection.  \nWhy do human males often have deep voices? What does the human female voice signal to potential mates? Join us on February 16th for Being Human: Speaking of Sex…. and learn more about where our voices came from.  \nAge Limit 21+

SUMMARY:Our Inner Scientist
DESCRIPTION:Join Alison Gopnik for an evening exploring how understanding babies’ and young children’s ability to acquire abstract knowledge has transformed how we view human nature itself. \nHuman beings have a longer childhood than any other animal\, and during this childhood we are helpless and dependent. This long period of helplessness is responsible for our uniquely human consciousness and our ability to learn and imagine. Our long protected childhood gives us the opportunity to learn and play\, which helps us plan and work as adults\, and special features of our young brains give us remarkable learning abilities. In fact\, even the youngest babies have learning abilities that are more powerful than those of the smartest scientists and most advanced computers.
