We like to think of human beings as the pinnacle of creation, or the most evolved animals on earth, but we may actually be one of the most flawed species of all. Join us to learn more at the Annual Westbrook Free Lectureship for "Written in the Scars: What Our Flaws Teach Us about Our Past" with Dr. Nathan H. Lents, Professor of Biology and Director of the Cell & Molecular Biology program at John Jay College of Criminal Justice. He will explains how the many quirks and glitches in human anatomy tell us interesting things about our past and help us live in better harmony with our bodies.
As part of our monthly 1st Saturday Open House, the Museum will be open to visitors to come explore the museum’s collections! You can study the anatomy of our human and primate skeletons before the talk. A reception with Nathan Lents will follow the talk in the museum. His book, Human Errors: A Panorama of our Glitches, from Pointless Bones to Broken Genes, will be available in the gift shop.
This event is Free and open to all!
