Subject: [Contact via wapa.cloverpad.org] Speaker at St. Mary's College of Maryland, February 19, 2013
=========
The Department of Anthropology at St. Mary's College of Maryland welcomes Visiting Anthropologist Daniel Everett (Bentley U), author of "Don't Sleep, There are Snakes" on Tuesday, February 19, 2013 for a public lecture in Cole Cinema from 4:15 - 5:30PM. Lecture title: "Beyond Human Nature: Understanding Ourselves as the Unpredictable Species." Abstract for talk: Humans are neither a blank slate nor a full slate at birth. Though humans clearly have an innate endowment that distinguishes us from other species, the hallmark of Homo sapiens is our unpredictability. Drawing on a new body of research emerging in philosophy, evolutionary theory, anthropology and linguistics, I argue that there is no such thing as "human nature" that has any deep explanatory value.
Everybody is welcome, for more information contact Bill Roberts, wcroberts@smcm.edu or 240-895-4287
