Women Who Hunt With Fire Thursday, February 28th 7:30pm $8, $6 with student id ----> Event Description <----------------------------------------------- Many believe that our ancestors got on the bus to humanity when human males took up hunting for big animals. This made tool use and bigger brains worth having. However, it also presented a dilemna for human females, who as a result, bore babies that were less developed and required more maternal care. Under the terms of this hypothesis, moms could do this by depending on subsistence support from hunting husbands. Thus begat the term "hunter-gatherers" and the belief that nuclear families were at the heart of the human story. In this popular lecture, Rebecca Bird reveals ground-breaking new research on the origins of the sexual division of labor through her field work with contemporary aboriginal foragers in Australia's Great Sandy Desert. Aborigine women, she shows, use fire as a hunting strategy. And they may make a more important contribution to communal survival than we thought! Lecture presented by the Leakey Foundation for Human Origins. Public reception before the lecture. 6:30 pm. All are welcome. ----> Venue Info <------------------------------------------------------ California Academy of Sciences 55 Concourse Drive, Golden Gate Park San Francisco 415-750-7128 http://calacademy.org/education http://www.calacademy.org/geninfo/directions.html ----> Additional Info <------------------------------------------------- [EMAIL PROTECTED] 415-561-4646 http://www.leakeyfoundation.org ----> The Squid List Admin <-------------------------------------------- The Squid List, a tentacle of Laughing Squid http://www.laughingsquid.org/squidlist/ To subscribe, unsubscribe or change your preferences: http://lists.laughingsquid.org/mailman/listinfo/squidlist/ Frequently Asked Questions & Submission Guidelines Squid List FAQ: http://www.laughingsquid.org/squidlist/faq.html ----> The Odeon Bar <--------------------------------------------------- Our little clubhouse in The Mission The Odeon Bar 3223 Mission Street @ Valencia, San Francisco http://www.odeonbar.com ----> Islais Creek Arts Group <----------------------------------------- Help save The Islais Creek Arts Group and stop the Illinois Street Bridge project: http://www.islaiscreek.org ----> Laughing Squid <-------------------------------------------------- Laughing Squid http://www.laughingsquid.org Underground art and culture from San Francisco and beyond! ----> Web Hosting <----------------------------------------------------- Laughing Squid Web Hosting http://www.laughingsquid.net Laughing Squid is an independently owned and operated web hosting service that specializes in web hosting for artists, individuals, non-profits and small organizations.
