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

King Stingray is a story of lifelong friendship. Growing up together in Yirrkala North-East Arnhem Land (a very remote Aboriginal community on in the northern tip of Australia) founding members Theo Dimathaya Burarrwanga (frontman) and Roy Kellaway (guitar) have been playing and making music together for as long as they can remember. The band blend ancient indigenous melodies (Yolŋu Manikay) with surf, indie and funk influences to create their unique “Yolŋu surf-rock” sound which has captivated the nation. Hailed as "one of the most exciting acts in the country today" (NME), King Stingray took out triple j's "Unearthed Artist of the Year" J Award for 2021, NME Australia's "Best New Act From Australia" and Rolling Stone Australia's "Best New Artist" award all before an album was released. Their much-anticipated debut LP "King Stingray" dropped in August 2022, supported by a typically cheeky campaign encouraging fans to take #kingstingday off to celebrate the album’s release. The band was nominated for a whopping five ARIA Awards (including a win for the "Michael Gudinski Breakthrough Artist"). In 2023 the band won the "Australian Music Prize." A total of five singles from the album made it into triple j’s Hottest 100 making it the second most successful Aussie debuts in the history of the countdown. King Stingray on Facebook / Instagram
