Call for Papers - Relocating Human Origins - What if
Adam Lived in the Forest?
Location: University of Cambridge
Organizers: Doctoral Students, Division of Biological Anthropology
Date: July 5, 2013
Theme: Conventional scientific wisdom holds that modern
humans evolved in the East African savannah. But what if the cradle
of human evolution was actually the Central African forest, as
hinted by new Y-chromosome results? How might this change our
understanding of human evolution? This conference explores the
implications of a forest origin for human population genetics,
disease ecology, social systems, and cultural evolution.
Deadline for sending abstracts: 07/06/2013 (bioanth-conference2013-abstracts@lists.cam.ac.uk)
Can't make it to Cambridge? The entire conference will be webcast.
The Organizers are accepting abstracts for 15 minute oral presentations
(live at Conference or remotely webcast pre-recorded/archived
on Conference website) and for poster presentations.

Dear Colleagues,
We have just launched the new web site Opening Science
to Society
https://sites.google.com/site/openingsciencetosociety/
This is a workspace we want to share with all those who believe
that data sharing is an important means to advance scientific
progress and to open science to society. In this first stage of
our initiative, we focus on genetic and anthropological research
data.
At present, it gives access to:
- a brief synopsis of the initiative Opening Science to Society,
- information about our ongoing activities,
- a forum for discussion of scientific, educational and ethical
aspects,
- an updated list of articles concerning data sharing,
- links to scientific and educational resources.
We would be very pleased to receive your feedback.

remains accompanied by associated academic articles.
