Origins Science Scholars Series—“Tracing Evolution: Where Modern Human Variation Comes from and Why”

The Origins Science Scholars Series will continue with a presentation by Cynthia Beall, Distinguished University Professor and the Sarah Idell Pyle Professor of Anthropology, titled “Tracing Evolution: Where Modern Human Variation Comes from and Why.” Beall's lecture will be held Tuesday, Oct. 9, in Tinkham Veale University Center, Ballrooms A and B.
