SUMMARY:Science and Society | Lone Survivors: Neanderthals\, Denisovans\, and Us
DESCRIPTION:Online\n\n\nIn the past decade\, new studies of ancient DNA 
 from fossils have shown that\, until as recently as 40\,000 years ago\, our 
 ancestors shared the planet with two close relatives\, the Neanderthals and 
 a mysterious group called the Denisovans. Both of those groups became 
 extinct\, but traces of their DNA remain in the genomes of modern humans. 
 Join us for a discussion with Ann Gibbons about new research that has 
 changed perceptions of the Neanderthals\, shed new light on the mysterious 
 Denisovans\, and showed we were not alone on Earth until recently.\n\nAnn 
 Gibbons is a Contributing Correspondent for Science magazine. She is an 
 award-winning writer on human evolution and the author of The First Human: 
 The Race to Discover Our Earliest Ancestors. In addition to Science 
 magazine\, she has written for numerous publications\, including National 
 Geographic\, Smithsonian\, and Slate. She teaches science writing at 
 Carnegie Mellon University.\n\nThis talk is part of the Science and Society 
 lecture series co-organized and moderated by Fred Dylla\, Executive 
 Director Emeritus of the American Institute of Physics and author of 
 Scientific Journeys\, Linda Dylla\, former public information officer at 
 the Jefferson Laboratory and the U.S. Department of Energy\, and Colin 
 Norman\, the former News Editor at Science.\n\nNOTE: this meeting is being 
 conducted through Zoom. You MUST REGISTER to receive instructions for
