Together with our crops, livestock, and pets, we humans have taken over planet Earth. We have outcompeted our primate relatives by changing many games we play -- with one another, and with the species we eat -- from win-lose to win-win. How and why did we evolve to do this? Field studies of chimpanzees and other primates provide some clues.
University of Minnesota biological anthropologist Michael Wilson studies our primate relatives to gain insights into human evolution. He has studied olive baboons in Kenya and chimpanzees in Uganda and Tanzania. He is best known for his studies of intergroup killing and the origins of warfare. Students in his lab also study bonobos in Congo, gelada monkeys in Ethiopia, and virtual primates that inhabit the Minnesota Supercomputing Institute.
Cafe Scientifique combines cutting-edge science and conversation in a fun, casual cabaret setting, often over dinner and a beer (or two). Throughout Café Scientifique's eight-year residency at the Bryant-Lake Bowl, theatergoers have regularly packed the room to hear talks on topics ranging from dinosaurs to exoplanets to the inner workings of the human brain. Every month, Café Scientifique offers an opportunity for anyone to engage with incredible scientists and researchers in an informal, accessible way.
