Our guest expert for April 24th is John Kappelman PhD who will discuss Cracking The Oldest Cold Case: How Lucy Died and Why It Matters

John Kappelman received a B.S. in Geology and Geophysics from Yale University, and an M.A. in Anthropology and Ph.D. in Anthropology and Earth and Planetary Sciences, both from Harvard University. He recently retired after serving for 35 years as a professor in the Departments of Anthropology and Earth and Planetary Sciences at the University of Texas at Austin, and continues his association with UT Austin as Professor Emeritus. The primary focus of his research is ape and human origins and evolution, with particular emphasis in paleoecology and functional morphology, and stratigraphy and geochronology.

Originally created by Christy Bonstell, The Experts had an original run at the iO Theatre in Chicago. Lickety-Split can't resist learning new things and having a few laughs! One of the Chicago Experts was quoted in the Chicago Tribune article about the show as saying, "There's something funny in everything." Come and find out what funny we find in Lucy.
