Tuesday, May 5 from 2:00- 3:30 PT (5-6:30 p.m ET) Robert Seyfarth, a noted expert on monkey communication, will present “Baboon Metaphysics: The Evolution of a Social Mind”.
Seyfarth is a professor of psychology at the University of Pennsylvania, where he has been on the faculty since 1985. He and Dorothy Cheney, his wife and collaborator, who is on Penn’s biology faculty, studied communication, social behavior and cognition in chacma baboons in Botswana’s Okavango Delta from 1992 to 2008. These baboons are among the largest of the world’s five species and live in large groups of 100 where social rank is determined by a complex web of relationships.
This live simulcast will kick off the University of Delaware’s Year of Darwin Celebration. The series, to continue through the fall, honors the 200th anniversary of Charles Darwin’s birth and the 150th anniversary of the publication of his landmark work On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection.
