Forum - Models of Speciation: modes and tempos (Jonathan Karpf)
Details
The presenter will address the evidence for competing models of where new species - including our own - come from, including evolution within a lineage vs. splitting of a line, geographic isolation vs. adaption to different aspects of the range, gradualism vs. punctuated equilibrium, with a specific focus on the emergence of Homo sapiens from a Homo ergaster ancestor.
Jonathan Karpf is a biological anthropologist trained at UC Berkeley and who has been teaching at San Jose State University in the Department of Anthropology since 1987.
After the Forum, please join us for a lunch at 12:30pm. The lunch is complimentary for first-time visitors and students.
