It might seem like humans are predisposed towards violence and aggression. But is the truth more complicated than that? And what role does compassion and peace play in our origins?
Marc Kissel, Assistant Professor of Anthropology at Appalachian State University, will share the research he and his colleagues have done to study these questions and help to better understand the roles of compassion and of violence in the past. Moderator: Briana Pobiner, paleoanthropologist and educator at Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History.
This program is offered as part of the ongoing HOT (Human Origins Today) Topic series.
This program will be presented as a Zoom video webinar. A link will be emailed to all registrants.
