Being Human: Our Symbolic Nature

Join scientist Terrence Deacon for an evening exploring our unique capacity for symbolic thought and the role it played in the co-evolution of the human brain and language.

Being Human mixes short talks from great minds with fun hands-on experiments, drinks, conversation, and storytelling. Each month we'll explore different aspects of our evolution, our behavior, and the human experience.

Doors open at 6 pm for the Being Human Lounge.  Mix and mingle with your fellow humans upstairs in Public Work's Odd Job Room. Enjoy a different local food vendor and thematic specialty cocktail each month, plus a fully-stocked bar of beer, wine, and delicious cocktails.

The Main Room opens at 7 pm for seating. The talk will begin shortly thereafter.
