Eckerd University recently issued the following announcement.
Phi Beta Kappa Visiting Scholar presents Kay Holekamp, Ph.D., a university distinguished professor in the Department of Integrative Biology at Michigan State University, for a lecture on animal cognition.
In theory, intelligence should evolve to help animals solve specific types of problems posed by their environment. However, it remains unclear which selective forces facilitate the evolution of enhanced cognition.
This talk will explore several hypotheses that have been proposed to explain the evolution of large brains and sophisticated cognition.
Free and open to the public.
Location: Miller Auditorium, Eckerd College campus
