New event alert! ✨ Join us June 11th for a special happy hour in partnership with Friends of Bonobos, sponsored by club member Dr. Walter Sinnott-Armstrong.

Enjoy a complimentary reception and brief presentation with Dr. Brian Hare, Duke University Professor of Evolutionary Biology, Psychology, and Neuroscience, on Wednesday, June 11 from 5 to 6 p.m. Children are welcome!

Drawing on his book, Survival of the Friendliest, Hare will explore what we can learn from our closest great ape cousins, the playful bonobos. We’ve heard that human beings take after the male-dominated chimpanzees—territorial and prone to aggression. But could we actually have more in common with cooperative, matriarchal bonobos?

Dr. Hare will discuss how collaboration and friendliness help both bonobos and humans thrive. You will also get a brief glimpse into the incredible community-based bonobo conservation work of Friends of Bonobos in Congo.

Before co-founding the Duke Canine Cognition Center, Dr. Hare researched bonobo behavior in the Congo. He is a board member of Durham-based nonprofit Friends of Bonobos.
