Evolution, Cuisine and Romance

Posted on: February 12, 2008 1:31 PM, by Greg Laden

A Cafe Scientifique by Yours Truly ....

.... details below the fold.


Cafe Scientifique
Evolution, Cuisine and Romance

Bryant-Lake Bowl, Uptown

Were the opposable thumb, an upright stance and a large brain the most important evolutionary events in human history? According to Anthropologist Greg Laden, these and other traits are only the byproducts of the truly important evolutionary transitions for our species: the rise of romance and the evolution of cuisine. Join Laden for a discussion about the co-evolution of diet, sexual strategies, and society during the last five million years.
