Anthropology Event

Speakers are  Larry Ciupik, Cynthia O'Dell, Marisa Fontana, and Paul Kern, discussing evolutionary topics relating to the fields of psychology, archaeology, philosophy, and forensics.

IUN Darwin Day features several excellent speakers on evolution and Darwin, cake and songs, and just plain fun.  The featured speakers will each talk for 20 to 30 minutes, with a few minutes for questions between talks.  So come whenever you can, and stay as long as you want.
