Our Chimpanzee Cousins: Unlocking the Secrets of Human Origins

Thursday, February 27 | 6:00 p.m.

Join us for an engaging talk with renowned primatologist Kevin Langergraber, an associate professor in the School of Human Evolution and Social Change, as he delves into the unique connections between humans and our closest living relatives—chimpanzees. 

Explore how his groundbreaking research combines long-term behavioral observations and demographic data with genetic data to answer questions about the evolution of chimpanzees and humans. This talk will also highlight the critical need for conservation efforts to protect these remarkable creatures.

This also event marks your last chance to experience the "Finding Lucy" exhibit. Don’t miss the opportunity to explore the story of Lucy one final time—be part of the exhibit's closing moments and witness this extraordinary display of our human origins!
