Apologies for cross-postings. I have been asked by a colleague at Penguin books to forward information on the following event: Penguin is very pleased to announce that Frans de Waal, eminent primatologist, will be in the UK for two days next week for the publication of his new book, THE APE AN THE SUSHI MASTER. A very rare visit to the UK, he can be seen in conversation with Colin Tudge at the following event. Please do pass this on to colleagues/ students/ friends and interested parties. Monday 18th June, 7pm at the Royal Insitution, 21 Albemarle Street, Piccadilly, London W1X 4BS CULTURE: A PRIVILEGE RESERVED FOR HUMANS ALONE? Described by Edward O Wilson as "the world authority on primate behaviour", Frans de Waal will be over from the US to discuss culture in primates with Colin Tudge. De Waal's new book, THE APE AND THE SUSHI MASTER, looks at how animals are capable of creating and sustaining culture, which some people believe to be humanity's last remaining claim to superiority over the animal kingdom. Colin Tudge recently wrote IN MENDEL'S FOOTNOTES. Previous works include THE VARIETY OF LIFE and THE DAY BEFORE YESTERDAY.
