*ANTHROPOLOGY PUBLIC ALUMNI LECTURE*

*The Shape of Human Origins*

*Carol V. Ward*
Professor and Director of Anatomical Sciences
University of Missouri

*Thursday, April 16, 2015*

Earth Sciences Centre, Reichman Family Lecture Hall
/Followed by Reception/

The transition to habitually terrestrial bipedal locomotion (i.e.,
walking upright) is a hallmark of early hominin evolution, and
continues to be a topic that captivates the scientific community and
public alike. To have an accurate understanding of how this transition
occurred, we need to understand the nature of the ancestral condition
from which hominins evolved. Although often ignored in favor of upper
and lower limb fossils, the torso has been a locus of morphological
change that reflects key adaptations to posture and locomotion, the
biology of early hominins, and the patterns of selection that shaped
them. New fossil evidence of the torso of Miocene apes and early
hominins challenges assumptions about the evolution of locomotor
adaptations in hominoids and the biology of early hominins. Combining
the implications of these new fossils with novel analyses of
previously known material provides new perspectives on the question of
hominin origins and early evolution.

Carol is a paleoanthropologist interested in the evolution of apes and
hominins. She is best known for description of new fossils of
Australopithecus anamensis, A. afarensis, and Proconsul nyanzae and
for research on postcranial morphology and locomotor adaptation in
Miocene and Plio-Pleistocene hominoids. She is co-director of the West
Turkana Paleo Project through the National Museums of Kenya, currently
working at the A. anamensis site of Kanapoi and other sites throughout
West Turkana. She is a Fellow of the American Association for the
Advancement of Science, and has won several teaching awards. Carol
Ward earned her BS in Anthropology and Zoology from the University of
Michigan in 1986 and her PhD in Functional Anatomy and Evolution from
the Department of Cell Biology and Anatomy at the Johns Hopkins School
of Medicine in 1991. She joined the faculty at University of Missouri
in 1991 in a joint appointment in the Departments of Anthropology and
Anatomy. In 2006 she moved full time to the Department of Pathology
and Anatomical Sciences to found that department's Integrative Anatomy
group where she is Professor and Director of Anatomical Sciences.

Talk: Headscarves and Hymens, Ottawa Writer's Festival

Ottawa Writer's Festival presents Headscarves and Hymens
with Mona Eltahawy

Hosted by CBC's Lucy van Oldenbarneveld

Saturday April 25

2:00pm @ Christ Church Cathedral • 414 Sparks Street

Mona Eltahawy, an award-winning Egyptian-American feminist writer and
commentator, wrote an article for Foreign Policy entitled "Why Do They
Hate Us?"; "they" being Muslim men, "us" being women. The piece
sparked controversy, of course.

In Headscarves and Hymens , she takes her argument further. Drawing on
her years as a campaigner and a commentator on women's issues in the
Middle East, she explains that since the Arab Spring began, women in
the Arab world have had two revolutions to undertake: one fought with
men against oppressive regimes; and another fought against an entire
political and economic system that treats women in countries from
Yemen and Saudi Arabia to Egypt, Tunisia and Libya as second-class
citizens.

Join us for an inside look at the "toxic mix of culture and religion
that few seem willing or able to disentangle lest they blaspheme or
offend." A manifesto motivated by hope and fury in equal measure, this
session with Mona Eltahawy promises to be as illuminating as it is
incendiary.
