Christchurch, Friday 06 September, 6.30pm, University of Canterbury. The Allan Wilson Centre is hosting a series of public talks by leading primatologist Craig Stanford, Professor of Biological Sciences & Anthropology and Co-Director of the Jane Goodall Research Centre at the University of Southern California. Professor Stanford warns that extinction of the great apes threatens to become a reality within just a few human generations. We are on the verge of losing the last precious links to our evolutionary past and the biological knowledge about ourselves that would die along with them. Professor Stanford sees great apes as not only intelligent but also possessed of a culture: they are both toolmakers and social beings capable of passing knowledge down through generations.
