Date:3/30/2008

  • Dr. Kathy Schick and Dr. Nicholas Toth, co-directors of the Stone Age Institute, an autonomous research facility with strong ties to Indiana University in Bloomington, co-directors of the Center for Research into the Anthropological Foundations of Technology, or CRAFT, and co-directors of the Human Evolutionary Studies Program. Experimental archaeologists, Schick and Toth focus their investigations of stone tool-making and tool-using behaviors of modern African apes and on the manufacture and use of early Paleolithic tools. Their session is titled The Human Mind Evolving.
  • Dr. Anne Russon, a professor of psychology at Glendon College of York University, Toronto, Canada. Russon has been studying intelligence and learning in ex-captive Bornean orangutans rehabilitated and released to forest life since 1989 and is widely published on the subject of ape intelligence, and orangutan intelligence in particular. Her session is titled The Evolution of Thought: Evolutionary Origins of Great Ape Intelligence.
  • Dr. Tetsuro Matsuzawa, a professor in the Language and Intelligence Section at the Primate Research Institute at Kyoto University in Japan. Matsuzawas research has focused on chimpanzee intelligence and tool use, both in the wild and in laboratory settings. 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, Bostwana. 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
