Abstract The shaft tomb of Iufaa, located in the Saite-Persian cemetery at Abusir, presents one of the most complex and singular examples of late Egyptian funerary text traditions. We will explore the extensive corpus … 15 Oct 2025 10:30 to 12:00 Event Neil Shubin Neil Shubin (1) Guest lecturer Résumé This lecture will explore the deep history of our bodies, one that extends billions of years. As we uncover new fossils, understand the patterns and mechanisms that form diverse animal bodies, and compare the anatomy of organ systems of creatures … 15 Oct 2025 11:00 to 12:00 Event Renata Landgráfová Snakes and Demons: Guardians of the Afterlife in the Saite-Persian Tombs at Abusir Guest lecturer Conference for the general public. Abstract In the shadow of the pyramids of the 5 th Dynasty in northwest Abusir lies a Saite-period shaft tomb necropolis whose tombs challenge conventional funerary expectations.

How and why did humans go from being very sedentary apes to being so physically active ? Why, if we've evolved to be physically active, do so many people dislike exercising ?

Symposium Abstract The brain is fundamentally a predictive organ that uses internal models to extrapolate future events from current inputs. While this predictive capacity exists across species, what may be uniquely human are the specific internal models we employ. … 3 Oct 2025 14:20 to 15:00 Event Florian Mormann Single-Neuron Correlates of Perception and Memory in the Human Medial Temporal Lobe Symposium 3 Oct 2025 12:10 to 12:50 Event Arun SP Do Monkeys See the Way We Do? Symposium Abstract Monkeys are widely used as model organisms for vision and cognition. While their anatomy and physiology have strong correspondences with humans, it is unclear whether they truly see the way we do.
