The Evolution of Skin Colour and What it Means to All of Us
Saturday, 26 September 2020
By The Evolution of Skin Colour and What it Means to All of Us
Evan Pugh University Professor of Anthropology at The Pennsylvania State University
Human skin colour is an evolutionary adaption related to the intensity of sunlight on the earth’s surface. In the last 20 years, understanding of the trait has improved significantly, with great strides having been made in understanding the function of skin colour and its genetic basis, including the tremendous diversity of skin colours in Africa. Skin colour is relevant to human health. It has also been misused as a criterion for defining human races. When these facts are clearly understood and taught in all schools, we can all live healthier and happier lives.

Our Museums are still closed but touring it and learning VIRTUALLY is possible!
Did you know that sustained research in paleosciences over the years has resulted in major discoveries that have put Kenya in the global map not only as the cradle of humankind but also as the cradle of innovation?
The Lake Turkana Basin, located in the north-western fringe of Kenya, has always played a key role in improving our understating of the biological, technological, and cultural dynamics of the region. There is also increased demand for development both by government and investor sector in these arid regions focused on building infrastructure to extract new energy sources (oil, wind, hydroelectric) thus, a presenting a challenge of heritage conservation in culturally sensitive landscape.
This presentation is an opportunity for you, your family, and friends to hear from and ask questions about Archaeology, Turkana Basin, Tourism Opportunities in Turkana and other related issues, from an expert which you might not traditionally be able to access.
The talk is FREE but please register: https://www.kenyamuseumsociety.org/contact-us/

Welcome. Karibu.
What does learning about the Natodomeri Lion teach us about our current society?
We’re glad you’re here to learn more about what we have in mind for the rest of 2020.
First we are going to kick off a few mini presentations with NMK researchers and others. These mini presentations are an opportunity for you to hear from and ask questions about a topic or issue from an expert which you might not traditionally be able to access. After each of these events, more information on the topic will be shared so that you can continue the exploration.
Next, we are going to create new types of events and activities. For example, a live quiz, an offline scavenger hunt and other tasks which you can do on your own.
A few tips to get the most out of the next few months (understanding this is new for many of us)
In this section you’ll find a variety of helpful resources and tips to get the most out of the experience.
We’re so excited to have you join us on this journey. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions.
Please register using this link and we will send you the zoom meeting link/ID.
