Bruce Smith’s lecture at the Harvard Museum of Natural History, originally scheduled for February 11, has been rescheduled to Thursday, February 18, beginning at 6 pm at The Harvard Museum of Natural History. Dr. Smith, Curator of North American Archaeology at the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History, has been stuck in the snow, but will arrive next week to discuss his current research on agricultural origins, and how the story is more complicated than you’d expect. But perhaps not more complicated than getting out of Reagan International. Free admission. For more information, log on to www.hmnh.harvard.edu, or call 617-495-3045. A reception for museum members follows the talk.

The transition from hunting and gathering to food production was a seismic shift in human history. With it, we transformed the world. But how and when did this happen, and why is it important to understanding our current human condition? Bruce Smith, curator of North American archaeology at the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History, will discuss his current research on agricultural origins — and how the story is more complicated than you’d expect. This free lecture will take place at the Harvard Museum of Natural History, 26 Oxford Street in Cambridge, on Thursday, February 11, from 6:00 – 7:00 pm. For more information, log on to www.hmnh.harvard.edu.
