Observation of Predation in Humans: A lecture by Dr. Zira

The Chimp psychologist from Planet of the Apes is back! Dr. Zira traveled back in time to visit us twenty years ago and narrowly escaped death at the hands of paranoid humans who could not tolerate the idea of other primates as equals. After living in seclusion for twenty years and conducting ethological studies of our species from her hideout, she has emerged in order to share her findings relating to aggressive behavior in members of the home genus. Her lecture is introduced by esteemed posthuman cultural theorist Donna Haraway and is followed by a question and answer session with human audience members.

Dr. Zira draws on the cutting edge research in the fields of neuroscience, primatology and evolutionary biology to interpret the predatory activities of human beings in post-industrial societies around the world.
