The Department of Anthropology is pleased to present a talk by Jacob Negrey, assistant professor in the School of Anthropology at the University of Arizona, on Friday, April 18, from 3:00 to 4:30 pm in 411 West Hall. Negrey's talk, “How Do We Really Differ from Chimpanzees?” will explore our assumptions about human-chimpanzee differences and why long-term studies have complicated our understanding of our closest living relatives.
Jacob Negrey studies interactions between behavior, health, and environment in wild chimpanzees, with a special focus on infectious disease and immune function. He co-directs the Ngogo Chimpanzee Project, which is committed to the long-term study and conservation of chimpanzees living in Kibale National Park, Uganda, and directs the Applied Primate Eco-omics (A.P.E.) Lab at the University of Arizona, which uses noninvasive “omics” methods to study ecological forces that shape primate health.
This lecture is free and open to the public.
