His session is titled Chimpanzee Mind: A Combining Effort of Fieldwork and Laboratory Work.
  • Dr. Robert Seyfarth, a professor of psychology at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. Seyfarth began his research with vervet monkeys in Kenya, and since 1992 has been involved in a study of communication, cognition and behavior among baboons in the Moremi Game Reserve, Botswana. His session is titled Baboon Metaphysics: The Evolution of a Social Mind.
  • Dr. Merlin Donald, professor emeritus in the Department of Psychology at Queens University in Kingston, Ontario, Canada. Donald is the author of two influential books: Origins of the Modern Mind: Three Stages in the Evolution of Culture and Cognition and A Mind so Rare: The Evolution of Human Consciousness.
