Featuring Herman Pontzer, Ph.D., Professor of Evolutionary Anthropology, Duke University and alumni of Penn State University Department of Anthropology
Herman Pontzer, Ph.D., Professor of Evolutionary Anthropology and Research Associate Professor of Global Health at Duke University, investigates how our deep, evolutionary past shapes our lives today. His team conducted the first measurements of daily energy expenditure in traditional hunter-gatherers and in non-human apes, with discoveries that have changed the way we think about diet, exercise, metabolism, and health. Dr. Pontzer’s book, Burn, was published in March 2021.
Wednesday, February 22 from 4:30-6:00 p.m.
Freeman Auditorium, HUB-Robeson Center, University Park PA
