DESCRIPTION:Humans exhibit a remarkable ability to adapt to new or rapidly 
 changing environments quickly\, including high-altitude\, Arctic and arid 
 ones. While we can assume shared biological factors at the root of human i
 nnovative capacity\, the adaptation to different environments was primaril
 y accomplished through behavioral rather than genetic plasticity. The natu
 re and tempo of modern human dispersals within and out of Africa indicate 
 that the complex social and behavioral foundations underlying the ability 
 to adapt to novel environmental conditions were likely already in place pr
 ior to the dispersals.\nSpeaker: Matthias Blessing
