Jonathan Stieglitz,
Contact: jonathan @unm.edu
Audience: General, older students
Topic/Notes: The Tsimane are an indigenous population of forager-farmers
living in the Amazon basin of central Bolivia. The Tsimane Health and Life
History Project’s main objectives are to: 1) test predictions regarding
adult mortality and aging; 2) examine relationships between human life history
traits and resource flows within and between families; 3) assess whether
the large human brain and its capacities for learning are responsible for
extended juvenile dependence; and 4) obtain descriptive information on age-profiles
of physical development and senescence, immune function, morbidity and mortality,
cognition, and behavior.
Length: approximately 45 minutes
Special needs: power point projector

John Wagner
Contact: wagner @unm.edu

Topic/Notes: We are constantly bombarded with confusing information

agenda and how we can use evolutionary logic to pierce this wall
of confusion and figure out what foods are best for our bodies
and our environment.
