Yet more than 150 years later, the nature of the relationship between Neanderthals and modern humans remains a focus of strong debate, and there is still much disagreement over the possibility of interbreeding, and the reasons for their disappearance. Explanations for their demise range widely from conflict through to economic competition, or even the impact of climate change. However, despite the continuing focus on events in western Europe 35,000 years ago, this was only the endpoint of a much longer history for the evolving Neanderthal and sapiens lineages. With increasing data and the imminent arrival of a complete Neanderthal genome, we may finally be close to an understanding of our relationship to these enigmatic relatives.

Dinner after the talk is open to all. For further information, contact Ryan Raaum . Beth Kaplin began undergraduate studies in Biology at Purdue University in 1981, and completed her B.Sc. degree at Colorado State University in Wildlife and Fisheries Ecology in 1986. From 1983 until 1989, Beth worked a variety of wildlife biology positions, including a 2-month stint on a Polish fishing vessel off the coast of Oregon and Washington collecting biological data for the National Marine Fisheries Service. She worked for the Bureau of Land Management in Anchorage and Fairbanks, Alaska on a range of projects including salmon recovery, moose calf survival along the Yukon River, and caribou use of wintering range. These positions offered Beth the opportunity to become proficient at handling outboard motors, flying in small planes, pulling snow machines out of frozen rivers, and being dropped off in remote locations by helicopter. In 1989 Beth began graduate school at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in the Zoology Department. She studied plant-animal interactions, seed dispersal ecology, and primate behavioral ecology. She lived in Rwanda, Africa for nearly two years while establishing a field site and conducting her research on forest monkeys, seed dispersal, and phenology patterns in montane tropical forest. From this research and subsequent work, Beth has published numerous articles and book chapters, and speaks at professional meetings, universities, and community events about her work. She is currently the Doctoral Program Director in the Department of Environmental Studies at Antioch University New England in Keene, NH, where she teaches ecology and conservation biology. She is also the founding director of the Center for Tropical Ecology & Conservation at Antioch University New England. Beth returns to the tropics regularly to conduct research on forest ecosystem dynamics, seed dispersal, primate ecology, and protected areas conservation. In 2005 she received funding from the MacArthur Foundation to start a project at the National University of Rwanda to bring biodiversity conservation to the Biology Department, and in 2006 she moved to Rwanda to serve as Technical Advisor for this project, taking a leave from her university position. She returned to Antioch University NE in fall 2007, and since then returns every few months to Rwanda to work on this project and continue her research. She received project renewal funding for 2009-2011, and in this phase she and her colleagues at National University of Rwanda are launching a masters program in biodiversity conservation, the first one in the region. When not traveling to the tropics, she lives in rural southeastern Vermont with her family.

Oliveira, Michael Taborsky, and H. Jane Brockmann, eds. Cambridge University Press, 2008 ABOUT THE BOOK The study of alternative reproductive tactics (ART)(the behavioral strategies used by individuals to increase their reproductive success) is an evolutionary puzzle, and one of great interest to researchers. For instance, why do some males guard both nest and eggs, while others sneak into nests while pairs are spawning and fertilize those eggs? The field offers a special opportunity to study the evolution and functional causes of phenotypic variation, which is a general problem in the field of evolutionary biology. By integrating both mechanistic (psychological) and evolutionary (behavioral ecology) perspectives and by covering a great diversity of species, Alternative Reproductive Tactics addresses this integrated topic of longstanding interest, bringing together a multitude of otherwise scattered information in an accessible form that is ideal for graduate students and researchers. ABOUT THE EDITORS Rui F. Oliveira is Professor of Psychobiology, Chair of the Psychobiology Graduate Program, and Head of the Research Centre at the Instituto Superior de Psicologia Aplicada, Portugal. His research focuses on the neuroendocrine mechanisms of behavioral plasticity in vertebrates, particularly in fish. He is the current president of the Portuguese Ethological Society, Chief-Editor of the Acta Ethological journal and Consulting Editor of the Hormones and Behavior journal. He also served on the Council of the Association for the Study of Animal Behaviour. Michael Taborsky is Professor of Zoology at the University of Bern, Switzerland, and Head of the Department of Behavioural Ecology. His research focus is on evolutionary mechanisms of cooperative behavior and advanced sociality, and on the ultimate causes of alternative reproductive tactics. He is Editor-in-Chief of Ethology and has been President of the Ethologische Gesellschaft and Secretary General of the International Council of Ethologists. H. Jane Brockmann is Professor of Zoology at the University of Florida. Her research focuses on animal behavior and sexual selection in insects and other invertebrates. She has been president of the Animal Behavior Society, Secretary General of the International Council of Ethologists, Editor of the journal Ethology, and she is presently Editor-in-Chief of Advances in the Study of Behavior.

Learning develops adaptive tuning to a changeable environment, while intelligence helps animals use their learned experiences in new situations. Using examples from field to laboratory, Animal Intelligence pools resources from ethology, behavioral ecology and comparative psychology to help the reader enter the world of wild intelligence through the analysis of adventures of ideas and methods, rather than through theoretic modeling. It reminds us?in the gentlest way?that there is a wonderful world of intellectual biodiversity out there, giving a multifaceted panorama of animal intelligence using the ant as its touchstone. Written in an accessible and charming style, and with undergraduates in mind, this book should be read by anyone with an interest in the wonderful world of animal behavior. ABOUT THE AUTHOR Zhanna Reznikova is Head of the Department of Comparative Psychology at the Novosibirsk State University, and Head of the Laboratory of Community Ethology at the Institute for Animal Systematics & Ecology, Siberia. She is a researcher and professor in the fields of ethology, behavioral ecology, and the behavior and ecology of social insects.

These shorter publications contain a wealth of valuable material. They represent an important part of the Darwin visible to the Victorian public, alongside his ever present sense of humor, and reveal an even wider variety of his scientific interests and abilities, which continued to his final days. This book brings together all known shorter publications and printed items Darwin wrote during his lifetime, including his first and his last publications, and the first publication, with A. R. Wallace, of Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection. With over seventy newly discovered items, the book is fully edited and annotated, and contains original illustrations and a comprehensive bibliography. ABOUT THE AUTHOR John van Wyhe is a historian of science, specializing on Charles Darwin, at the University of Cambridge.

As it first associated with and then began to tame fire, this extraordinary being began to distance itself from its primate relatives, taking a path that would alter its environment, physiology, and self-image. Based on her extensive research with nonhuman primates, anthropologist Frances Burton details the stages of the conquest of fire and the systems it affected. Her study examines the natural occurrence of fire and describes the effects light has on human physiology. She constructs possible variations of our earliest human ancestor and its way of life, utilizing archaeological and anthropological evidence of the earliest human-controlled fires to explore the profound physical and biological impacts fire had on human evolution. ABOUT THE AUTHOR Frances D. Burton is professor of anthropology at the University of Toronto. She has studied primates in Costa Rica, Honduras, Barbados, China, Malaysia, Kenya, Morocco, and Gibraltar, examining the biological bases of behavior. Her many publications include the edited volume Social Process and Mental Abilities in Non-Human Primates: Evidences from Longitudinal Field Studies and a pioneering CD titled "A Multimedia Guide to the Non-Human Primates."

Message-ID: <4A1EA9DB.6030300@primate.wisc.edu> MAN THE HUNTED: PRIMATES, PREDATORS AND HUMAN EVOLUTION, expanded ed. Donna Hart and Robert W. Sussman Westview Press, 2009 ABOUT THE BOOK Man the Hunted argues that primates, including the earliest members of the human family, have evolved as the prey of any number of predators, including wild cats and dogs, hyenas, snakes, crocodiles, and even birds. The authors? studies of predators on monkeys and apes are supplemented here with the observations of naturalists in the field and revealing interpretations of the fossil record. Eyewitness accounts of the ?man the hunted? drama being played out even now give vivid evidence of its prehistoric significance. This provocative view of human evolution suggests that countless adaptations that have allowed our species to survive?from larger brains to speech?stem from a considerably more vulnerable position on the food chain than we might like to imagine. The myth of early humans as fearless hunters dominating the earth obscures our origins as just one of many species that had to be cautious, depend on other group members, communicate danger, and come to terms with being merely one cog in the complex cycle of life. The expanded edition includes a new chapter that describes the ever-increasing evidence of predation on humans and claims that the earliest humans were neither hunters nor even the accomplished scavengers that many authorities have suggested. Furthermore, the authors provide evidence that as a prey species humans relied on cooperation as one of many predator avoidance mechanisms. ABOUT THE AUTHORS Donna Hart is associate teaching professor of anthropology at the University of Missouri-St. Louis and was a professional in the field of wildlife conservation for many years. Her current writing projects include The Complex Nature of Human Variation (forthcoming, Westview Press). Robert W. Sussman is professor of physical anthropology and environmental science at Washington University (St. Louis), editor emeritus of American Anthropologist, and is currently editor of Yearbook of Physical Anthropology and secretary of the anthropology section of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. He is the author of many scientific articles and books on anthropology and primatology. CONTENTS Foreword to the First Edition Preface to the Expanded Paperback Edition 1.

Donna Hart and Robert W. Sussman Westview Press ABOUT THE BOOK Man the Hunted argues that primates, including the earliest members of the human family, have evolved as the prey of any number of predators, including wild cats and dogs, hyenas, snakes, crocodiles, and even birds. The authors? studies of predators on monkeys and apes are supplemented here with the observations of naturalists in the field and revealing interpretations of the fossil record. Eyewitness accounts of the ?man the hunted? drama being played out even now give vivid evidence of its prehistoric significance. This provocative view of human evolution suggests that countless adaptations that have allowed our species to survive?from larger brains to speech?stem from a considerably more vulnerable position on the food chain than we might like to imagine. The myth of early humans as fearless hunters dominating the earth obscures our origins as just one of many species that had to be cautious, depend on other group members, communicate danger, and come to terms with being merely one cog in the complex cycle of life. The expanded edition includes a new chapter that describes the ever-increasing evidence of predation on humans and claims that the earliest humans were neither hunters nor even the accomplished scavengers that many authorities have suggested. Furthermore, the authors provide evidence that as a prey species humans relied on cooperation as one of many predator avoidance mechanisms. ABOUT THE AUTHORS Donna Hart is associate teaching professor of anthropology at the University of Missouri-St. Louis and was a professional in the field of wildlife conservation for many years. Her current writing projects include The Complex Nature of Human Variation (forthcoming, Westview Press). Robert W. Sussman is professor of physical anthropology and environmental science at Washington University (St. Louis), editor emeritus of American Anthropologist, and is currently editor of Yearbook of Physical Anthropology and secretary of the anthropology section of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.

Scott McGraw, Klaus Zuberb?hler, and Ronald No?, eds. Cambridge University Press, 2007 ABOUT THE BOOK A great deal has been written about primates; however few volumes have focused on an entire community of sympatric monkeys at a single site. Drawing upon diverse sets of data, the authors provide a multi-thematic case study of the entire monkey community of the Ta? forest (Ivory Coast). Featuring a large section of colour photographs, which significantly enhance the behaviours discussed in the text, the breadth of this important volume means it will be of interest to a wide variety of primatologists, functional anatomists, psychologists, and behavioural ecologists.

Through its ability to solicit and secure the attentive care not just of its mother but of many other in its sensory purview, a baby promotes many of the behaviors and emotions that we prize in ourselves and that often distinguish us from other animals, including a willingness to share, to cooperate with strangers, to relax one?s guard, uncurl one?s lip and widen one?s pronoun circle beyond the stifling confines of me, myself and mine." ?Natalie Angier, New York Times (3 March 2009). ABOUT THE BOOK Somewhere in Africa, more than a million years ago, a line of apes began to rear their young differently than their Great Ape ancestors. From this new form of care came new ways of engaging and understanding each other. How such singular human capacities evolved, and how they have kept us alive for thousands of generations, is the mystery revealed in this bold and wide-ranging new vision of human emotional evolution. Mothers and Others finds the key in the primatologically unique length of human childhood. If the young were to survive in a world of scarce food, they needed to be cared for, not only by their mothers but also by siblings, aunts, fathers, friends?and, with any luck, grandmothers. Out of this complicated and contingent form of childrearing, Sarah Hrdy argues, came the human capacity for understanding others. Mothers and others teach us who will care, and who will not. >From its opening vision of ?apes on a plane?; to descriptions of baby care among marmosets, chimpanzees, wolves, and lions; to explanations about why men in hunter-gatherer societies hunt together (hint: it?s called the Showing-Off Hypothesis), Mothers and Others is compellingly readable. But it is also an intricately knit argument that ever since the Pleistocene, it has taken a village to raise children?and how that gave our ancient ancestors the first push on the path toward becoming emotionally modern human beings.

In this account of the dawn of human society, Bernard Chapais shows that our knowledge about kinship and society in nonhuman primates supports, and informs, ideas first put forward by the distinguished social anthropologist, Claude L?vi-Strauss. Chapais contends that only a few evolutionary steps were required to bridge the gap between the kinship structures of our closest relatives -- chimpanzees and bonobos -- and the human kinship configuration. The pivotal event, the author proposes, was the evolution of sexual alliances. Pair-bonding transformed a social organization loosely based on kinship into one exhibiting the strong hold of kinship and affinity. The implication is that the gap between chimpanzee societies and pre-linguistic hominid societies is narrower than we might think. Many books on kinship have been written by social anthropologists, but Primeval Kinship is the first book dedicated to the evolutionary origins of human kinship. And perhaps equally important, it is the first book to suggest that the study of kinship and social organization can provide a link between social and biological anthropology.

The issue of animal culture has been hotly debated ever since. Now Kevin Laland and Bennett Galef have gathered key voices in the often rancorous debate to summarize the views along the continuum from ?Culture? Of course!? to ?Culture? Of course not!? The result is essential reading for anyone interested in the validity of animal culture, and what it might say about our own.

Campbell, ed. Cambridge University Press, 2008 ABOUT THE BOOK Spider monkeys are one of the most widespread New World primate genera, ranging from southern Mexico to Bolivia. Although they are common in zoos, spider monkeys are traditionally very difficult to study in the wild, because they are fast moving, live high in the canopy and are almost always found in small subgroups that vary in size and composition throughout the day. The past decade has seen an expansion in research being carried out on this genus and this book is an assimilation of both published and previously unpublished research. It is a comprehensive source of information for academic researchers and graduate students interested in primatology, evolutionary anthropology and behavioral ecology and covers topics such as taxonomy, diet, sexuality and reproduction, and conservation.
