>
> Leading primatologist Dr. Frans de Waal of Emory University
> talks about the politics of primates and the issue of animal
> culture in his lecture Schmoozing Apes, Gregarious Monkeys:
> New Theories on Animal Culture. Dr. de Waal, renowned for his
> work on the social intelligence of primates, first explored
> the groundbreaking notion of the cultural traits of animals
> in his book Chimpanzee Politics (1982), in which he compared
> the schmoozing and scheming of chimpanzees with that of human
> politics. Since then he has drawn further empirical parallels
> that include the intergenerational transmission of
> information, although always struggling against entrenched
> reticence to his conclusions. His latest work, The Ape and
> the Sushi Master (Basic Books, 2001) seeks to undermine the
> nature/culture divide.
>
> Location: The Joseph and Roberta Schwarz Theater,
> SUNY-Optometry, 33 West 42nd Street, Manhattan (near Bryant Park)
>
> Time: All presentations begin at 7 p.m. and last about one hour.
>
> Tickets: Single tickets $20 ($18 for WCS members); full
> series ticket $80 ($72 for WCS members. Buy early -- seats
> are limited!
