SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Biological Anthropology Colloquium | “Bipedalism in Two Steps: Dual Innovations Underlie Hominin Pelvic Biology”
DESCRIPTION:“This talk will focus on how humans acquired bipedalism via changes in the development of their pelves. At the crux of human bipedalism and childbirth is the ilium\, which evolved to be shorter\, broader\, and parasagittally curved\, compared to cranio-caudally tall\, coronally-oriented ilia of other apes. The evolutionary genetic mechanisms that generated this unique iliac form remain unknown. Here\, using histological\, morphological\, comparative genomic and functional genomic approaches on ethically collected human samples and museum-collected prenatal primates\, we reveal that underlying this human iliac shape are two key developmental shifts. First\, the human iliac growth plate underwent a spatial shift in orientation\, residing perpendicular to that present in all other primate and mouse ilia. Using molecular methods\, we discovered human accelerated sequence changes in numerous molecular pathways\, permitting undifferentiated iliac skeletal cells to shift the direction of their outgrowth. Second\, the human ilium experienced a timing shift in bone ossification unlike that observed for human long-bones\, or in non-human primate ilia and long-bones. Human iliac ossification initiates at the posterior border\, then radiates anteriorly\, but remains external with external cells contributing initially to the production of bone. Compared to chimpanzees and other primates\, humans delayed internal ossification of the ilium compared to other long bones. Underlying this shift are regulatory changes in other molecular pathways. The consequence of these shifts is a human pelvis that can grow\, permit proper muscle orientation and function\, all-the-while retaining its complex unique human shape for walking and birthing functions later in life.”\n\nTerence D. Capellini is a Professor of Human Evolutionary Biology at Harvard University. His undergraduate education was at Binghamton University\, where he was an Anthropology major focusing on human skeleton evolution. This was followed by his Masters Degree research at Kent State University\, where he studied archaeological assemblage formation\, and human skeletal evolution. He acquired his MPhil and Ph.D from the New York Consortium in Evolutionary Primatology (C.U.N.Y) working in the laboratory of Licia Selleri (Weill Cornell Medicine) on the development of the skeleton\, and then performed his post-doctoral research in the laboratory of David Kingsley (Stanford University) on the genetics of skeletal evolution. His interdisciplinary lab at Harvard bridges functional genomics and genetics\, developmental biology\, medical genetics\, and paleoanthropology. His lab is currently focusing on how gene regulation shapes different bones of the human skeleton\, how interbreeding with Neandertals facilitated human skeletal adaptations\, and how alterations to gene regulation during human evolution have not only facilitated skeletal adaptations but influenced the modern world-wide risk of bone diseases\, such as joint-specific osteoarthritis.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Classical Speakers Colloquium: Marko Malink (NYU)
DESCRIPTION:Location: 2306 Mason Hall\nTitle: The Metaphysical Basis of Aristotle's Logic\nAbstract: According to Bertrand Russell\, the first serious advance in logic since the time of the Greeks was made by Frege\, when he argued that the propositions 'Socrates is mortal' and 'All humans are mortal' are not of the same logical form. Aristotle\, by contrast\, took these propositions to be of the same logical form. In his view\, both are simple categorical propositions in which one being is predicated of another being\, universal or particular. I shall argue that Aristotle adopted this view because he thought that it provides a metaphysically perspicuous representation of the structure of beings underlying a science. Thus\, while his system of categorical logic does not possess the deductive and expressive power of Frege's system\, it is well suited for representing what Aristotle took to be explanatory scientific demonstrations.\n\nMarko Malink is Professor of Philosophy & Classics. He received an M. A. from the University of Leipzig (2004)\, where he studied Logic and Ancient Greek. He earned a Dr. Phil. in Philosophy from Humboldt University of Berlin (2008). His primary area of research is ancient philosophy\, especially ancient logic and metaphysics. Malink also has interests in the history of logic\, philosophy of language\, and linguistics. His book Aristotle’s Modal Syllogistic was published by Harvard University Press in 2013. Some of his articles were selected for inclusion in The Philosopher's Annual\, which aims to collect the ten best articles published in philosophy each year (2013\, 2016\, 2018). Prior to joining the Faculty at NYU in 2014\, Malink has held positions at Humboldt University of Berlin and the University of Chicago.
