Better Together: The Benefits of Learning from One Another

Do primates learn from one another? Did early humans learn in the same way? How can scientists uncover evidence of learning from the past? Come chat with Dr. Elaine Miller to explore the evolution of learning! An expert in evolutionary brain anatomy and function, Dr. Miller will use puzzles to illustrate the advantages of learning from one another, examine how this shaped the lives of early humans, and explore the clues these behaviors left behind in the archaeological record.
