Seminar series begins

We had a wonderful talk yesterday to kick off the Krasnow Monday
Seminar Series for the Fall. Chet Sherwood, newly arrived in the
department of Anthropology at George Washington, gave a fascinating
talk on neuroanatomical clues to what separates humans from the great
apes and our immediate evolutionary ancestors. Chet has had a slew of
recent high impact papers on the evolution of human intelligence that
are central to the scientific focus of the Krasnow Institute.

Our next speaker will be Guinevere Eden, from Georgetown who will
speak on “The functional anatomy of typical and impaired reading”.

These talks are always open–every Monday at 4PM. We typically draw
cognitive folks from all over the National Capital Area.

Hope to see you there,

Jim
