Epigenetics refers to the study of traits that are heritable but not caused by changes in the DNA sequence. And, in some cases, events that happen during an individual's life can sometimes result in epigenetic changes that are subsequently heritable. This is a form of Lamarckian inheritance, the idea that an organism can pass on characteristics that it acquired during its lifetime to its offspring. Humans are unique among animals in the degree to which adaptive behavior is shaped by both genes and culture. Cultural transmission is a form of Lamarckian inheritance: individuals pass on cultural traits which they learned during their lifetime to their offspring. In this talk, Dr. Panchanathan will discuss how anthropologists think about and model cultural evolution. In particular, Dr. Panchanathan will discuss how and why natural selection on genes resulted in the human capacity for culture; how cultural evolution is similar to and different from genetic evolution; and how cultural processes have shaped our genes, so-called gene-culture co-evolution. This event was held in conjunction with the 11th Annual Life Sciences and Society Symposium.

People in 19th century Australia and the United States often faced many of the same hardships, hazards and quirks of the environment. In both countries people often coped by laughing. This lecture will look at examples of American and Australian frontier humor, with an eye to their similarities and differences.

A panel discussion between the Office of Undergraduate Research and Mizzou Alumni.

Kevin Keegan, inventor of the lameness evaluation system, discusses it's use on horses. The lameness evaluation system analyzes patterns of the head and pelvic motion of a four-legged animal. Motion sensors are attached to the head, pelvis and on one leg of the animal. A processing systems receives the data and detects and quantifies lameness in the animal.
