Four of the professors who took part in researching Ardipithecus ramidus, a 4.4 million-year-old hominid skeleton unveiled last year, will speak March 24 at Kent State University.
C. Owen Lovejoy, an anthropology professor at KSU; Bruce Latimer, a professor of anthropology at Case Western Reserve University; Scott Simpson, an anatomy professor at Case Western; and Linda Spurlock, a biological anthropologist at the Cleveland Museum of Natural History all will speak at the Kiva beginning at 7 p.m.
They took part with 47 other researchers in studying skeletal remains of Ardi, which the journal Science called the "2009 Breakthrough of the Year." Their discussion will focus on possible insights into human origins, including evidence that humans did not evolve from chimpanzee-like apes.
The event is free and open to the public.
