The posters will be on display in Moon Library on the ESF campus until late February.\nBetween 12:45 and 1: 40 p.m. (known on campus as the weekly “college hour”) Wednesday\, Feb. 11 — the day before Darwin’s birthday\, and a month and three days after Wallace’s — Moon Library will give away a permanent book plate in honor of the occasion. The library will also feature a display of books by and about Darwin and Wallace. Members of the campus community are invited to stop by to admire the posters and enjoy a snack.\nAround the world\, people celebrate Darwin Day to honor Darwin’s contributions to our understanding of the life sciences. This year\, ESF added the lesser-known\, but no less intrepid\, naturalist Wallace to the billing in recognition of the fact that a pivotal moment in our modern understanding of biology was a joint presentation by Darwin and Wallace of their 1858 paper: “On the Tendency of Species to form Varieties; and on the Perpetuation of Varieties and Species by Natural Means of Selection.” URL:https://darwinday.org/event/darwin-wallace-day-at-suny-esfs-moon-library/ LOCATION:Moon Library\, 1 Forestry Drive\, Syracuse\, NY\, 13210\, United States END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20150221 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20150223 DTSTAMP:20260407T120410 CREATED:20150206T053748Z LAST-MODIFIED:20150206T072354Z UID:993-1424476800-1424649599@darwinday.org SUMMARY:Międzynarodowy Dzień Darwina 2015 na Uniwersytecie Warszawskim DESCRIPTION:It’s the second edition of International Darwin Day at the University of Warsaw.

Wilson\, Associate Professor\, Department of Anthropology and Department of Ecology\, Evolution and Behavior\, University of Minnesota. Join us at our February chapter meeting to recognize and honor the legacy of Charles Darwin. Our guest speaker Michael Wilson is an Evolutionary Anthropologist who studies the behavior and ecology of primates to gain insights into the evolution of human behavior. He will discuss how an evolutionary perspective on warfare can help shed light on why people fight and what they can do to make war less likely to occur. Stay for a buffet lunch for further discussion with Prof. Wilson and fellow humanists.

A good example is the evolution of human upright posture. We have evolved from four legged ancestors with the ability to move using our rear limbs only\, leaving our front limbs free to carry and use objects. But our bipedality has also resulted in numerous problems associated with this evolu-tionary development\, including lower back problems and difficulty in giving birth.\nAlan Mann\, Professor Emeritus\, University of Pennsylvania\, Ph.D. University of California\, Berkeley 1968\, cur-rently Professor of Anthropology at Princeton University\, is a physical anthropologist whose interests include pa-leoanthropology and human evolution. He is the author of Some Paleodemographic Aspects of the South African Australopithecines and is the co-author (with Mark L. Weiss) of Human Biology and Behavior: An Anthropological Perspective. Professor Mann is also affiliated with Evolution at Princeton. Professor Mann teaches courses on hu-man adaptation and evolution and a summer field course on modern human origins in France.\n*** Note: This lecture will take place in Room W2-$47 in the West Building on the southwest corner of 17th & Spring Garden Streets.
