Duke Professor Lectures on Animal-Human Boundaries Wednesday, February 2

Duke University Professor of Biological Anthropology and Anatomy Matt Cartmill will give a lecture on "The Bloody Edge: Hunting and the Animal-Human Boundary in Western Thought" at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 2, in Irvine Hall on Ohio University's Athens campus.

Cartmill will survey the intellectual history of symbolic meanings of the hunt in Western art, literature and science, from classical mythology to 20th century theories of evolutionary origins. He is a fellow and past president of the American Association of Physical Anthropologists.

Cartmill is one of 14 Phi Beta Kappa visiting scholars for 1999-2000. The visiting scholars spend two days on a campus, meeting informally with students and faculty members, taking part in classroom discussions and giving a public lecture.
