DESCRIPTION:Footprints open a window onto brief moments in life\, a unique 
 time scale that is inaccessible from skeletal remains or archaeological ar
 tefacts. Through this particular temporal scale\, footprints provide origi
 nal information about the groups who left them\, and offer another point o
 f view for understanding human evolution. Using several examples from the 
 fossil record\, this presentation will focus on the development of experim
 ental methods used to study footprints. It will also demonstrate the diver
 sity of information\, but also its limitations\, that can be obtained from
  this unique material\, offering a unique perspective on human evolution.\

 an increasing amount of genetic information across all branches of the tre
 e of life is being generated. With the introduction of the molecular clock
  hypothesis\, we are now capable not only of making inferences about genet
 ic divergence based on the number of differing mutations between sequences
  but also of estimating divergence in terms of absolute time units. Since 
 then\, numerous conceptual and methodological advancements have facilitate

 from molecules to millennia. Nevertheless\, many challenges still remain t
 hat need to be addressed to form a more comprehensive understanding of evo

DESCRIPTION: The evolution of the Antarctic Ice Sheet is of vital importanc
 e given the coastal and societal implications of ice loss\, with a potenti
 al to raise sea level by up to 58 m if melted entirely. However\, future i
 ce-sheet trajectories remain highly uncertain. In fact\, current estimates
  range from a slight mass gain to a mass loss of the Antarctic Ice Sheet b
 y the end of this century. What is more\, due to ice-sheet inertia and pot
 entially self-sustained mass loss when exceeding critical thresholds or ti
 pping points\, the bulk of sea-level rise is expected to arise beyond the 
 end of this century as sea-level commitment. Here\, we systematically asse
 ss this long-term committed sea-level contribution from the Antarctic Ice 
 Sheet in response to warming projected over the next centuries under lower
 - and higher-emission pathways\, as well as the reversibility of the commi
 tted large-scale ice-sheet changes when reducing warming to relatively col
 der climate conditions.\nSpeaker: Ann Kristin Klose

DESCRIPTION:Modern ecological crises can be seen as resulting from human so
 cial and technological evolution. However\, research on human evolution is
  not sufficiently developed to address global environmental issues or our 
 species’ future on Earth. Theories of human evolution are numerous\, poo
 rly integrated\, and are fractioned within subdisciplines. Human evolution
  can be better understood with a set of simple principles from current res
 earch in human sociality\, cultural evolution\, and group interactions. Fr
 om these I sketch an integrated theory of long-term human evolution that p
 rovides a logical and testable pattern of change across the span of our sp
 ecies existence and integrates contrasting theories in anthropology and bi
 ology. This theory\, and the principles on which it builds\, can be used t
 o address our current ecological crises more effectively. I propose a glob
 al research agenda of applied cultural evolution for beneficial social cha
 nge and analyze the example of cultural adaptation to climate change. I re
 view open questions and ethical issues in this line of inquiry. Finally\, 
 I issue an urgent call for help in developing applied evolutionary researc
 h for addressing human sustainability on our finite planet.\nSpeaker: Dr T

DESCRIPTION:The exhibition takes visitors through the historical evolution 
 of inclusive language in Germany. It aims to ignite discussion and offers 
 solutions in the German context. It also delves into how other languages h
 ave tackled the same challenges\, enriching your understanding of inclusiv
 e language across cultures. Brought to you by the Equal Opportunity Office
  at the Max Planck Institute for Geoanthropology\, it opens on 8 March 202
 4 as part of International Women’s Day.

DESCRIPTION:Because they offer deep temporal perspectives\, the historical 
 and archaeological records of past cities have potential to make a unique 
 contribution to understanding of urban resilience and urban adaptations to
  climate change today. I single out two approaches that illustrate the pot
 entials and pitfalls of this kind of past-to-present transfer of knowledge
 : shocks and persistence. The responses of urban residents and institution
 s to diverse types of shock is a kind of specified resilience (i.e.\, resi
 lience to what\, who\, when\, and where)\, whereas the temporal fates of c
 ities over time—persistence—provides insights on the general resilienc
 e of early cities. I explore reasons for the great difficulty in applying 
 past knowledge to contemporary urban settings\, particularly the near-comp
 lete disjunction between research on past resilience and research on past 
 urbanism.\nSpeaker: Michael E. Smith\, of Arizona State University

DESCRIPTION: How did we end up in the Anthropocene? In the human and social
  sciences\, a growing consensus holds anthropocentrism responsible for set
 ting human societies and the Earth System onto a collision course\, typica
 lly defining anthropocentrism as human exceptionalism in viewing nature an
 d other lifeforms as objects of human mastery and means to human ends. The
  nature of anthropocentrism and its exact role in driving the Anthropocene
  are\, however\, seldom subjected to thorough research.\nSpeaker: Zoltán

DESCRIPTION:The conference aims to explore what we know and what we would l
 ike to know about cultural dynamics and human-environment interactions in 
 ancient Central Asia and Mongolia. The cross-disciplinary event will bring
  together local and international scholars with expertise in archaeology\,
  archaeobotany\, and palaeoenvironmental sciences in Central Asia and adja
 cent regions. It will be an excellent venue to present and exchange new re
 search results and to encourage new research projects.\nSpeaker: Various
