FREE and open to all.
Join the Linnaean Society of New York at 7pm, Tuesday, 11/9, for our Zoom
presentation, “What Are Societies, and What Keeps Them Together and Tears Them
Apart?” by Mark Moffett, Ph.D.
If a chimpanzee ventures into the territory of a different group, it will
almost certainly be killed. But a New Yorker can fly to Los Angeles—or
Borneo—with little fear.
How do such species manage—by and large—to get along with each other?
Dr. Moffett, entomologist at the Smithsonian Institution and a visiting scholar
in anthropology at Harvard, examines the social adaptations that bind society
members together and explores how the tension between identity and anonymity
defines how those groups work—and sometimes don’t.
His most recent book, “The Human Swarm: How Our Societies Arise, Thrive, and
Fall,” brings together biology with modern psychology and anthropology with
surprising insights.
