This FREE symposium will explore, how, at a global level, Homo sapiens have reshaped the planet Earth to such an extent that we now talk of a new geological age, the Anthropocene. But each of us shapes our own worlds, physically, symbolically, and in the worlds of imagination. This symposium focuses especially on one form of construction, the construction of buildings, while stressing that such construction is ever shaped by diverse factors from landscape to culture and the construction of history embodied in it - and more. After a brief look at birds building their nests as an example of variation on a species-specific Bauplan, we sample a broad sweep of cultural evolution and niche construction from the earliest stone tools of Neanderthals and Homo sapiens through the Neolithic and the rise of cities to the formal and informal architecture of the present day. Finally, we explore the ways artificial intelligence may further change how humans construct their mental and physical worlds. Attend in person at the Conrad T. Prebys Auditorium, Salk Institute OR online via the live webcast (see event website for details) Presented by the UC San Diego/Salk Institute Center for Academic Research and Training in Anthropogeny (CARTA) Visit: https://carta.anthropogeny.org/events/how-humans-came-construct-their-worlds Center for Academic Research and Training in Anthropogeny on Instagram and Facebook
