    <title>Jan 22, 2010: Modern Dioramas of Our New Natural History at Harvard Museum of Natural History</title>
    <description><![CDATA[The Harvard Museum of Natural History announces a new exhibition, opening January 22, 2010, of striking, large-scale color photographs by New York-based visual artist Amy Stein. Domesticated: Modern Dioramas of our New Natural History, explores the tenuous relationship between humans and animals as human civilization increasingly encroaches upon nature. Domesticated: Modern Dioramas of Our New Natural History: Photographs by Amy Stein will be on display at the Harvard Museum of Natural History through April 18, 2010. Informed by actual newspaper accounts and oral histories from residents of the small town of Matamoras in northeastern Pennsylvania, Stein&#39;s photographs are staged scenes, often using taxidermied animals, illustrating real-life encounters between humans and animals. A girl and huge bear stare at each other from opposite sides of a fence surrounding the family pool. Coyotes howl at a street light. Stein&#39;s images, at the same time both surreal and paradoxical, explore the increasingly permeable boundary between the human/built environment and the wild. Stein writes, &quot;We at once seek connection with the mystery and freedom of the natural world, yet we continually strive to tame the wild around us and compulsively control the wild within our own nature.&quot; Harvard Museum of Natural History: Open 9:00 am to 5:00 pm, except major holidays. Admission: $9.00; seniors and students $7.00; $6.00 ages 3-18; under 3 free. Free for Massachusetts residents Wednesdays, 3-5 p.m. (Sept-May) and every Sunday morning, 9:00 am -noon. For more information on exhibits, classes and events, explore www.hmnh.harvard.edu or call 617-495-3045.<br />

    <title>Jan 27, 2010: Catching Fire: How Cooking Made Us Human at Harvard Museum of Natural History</title>
    <description><![CDATA[In his latest book, Catching Fire, Harvard biological anthropologist Richard Wrangham puts forth the bold theory that our Paleolithic Homo ancestors tamed fire and began cooking 1.8 million years ago, much earlier than conventionally believed. Wrangham will discuss how cooking started a revolution in human evolution, which drove large-scale changes in our physiology, behavior, and cognition and has defined our species to this very day. The program will include a discussion moderated by Noel Michele Holbrook, Professor of Biology and Charles Bullard Professor of Forestry at Harvard. Free and open to the public.<br />

    <title>Jan 22, 2010: Domesticated: Artist’s Exhibition Opening Talk by Amy Stein at Harvard Museum of Natural History</title>
    <description><![CDATA[To celebrate the opening of Domesticated: Modern Dioramas of our New Natural History, her new exhibit at the Harvard Museum of Natural History, visual artist Amy Stein will talk about her unique process of creating and photographing modern dioramas based upon actual news accounts of encounters between humans and wildlife in rural Pennsylvania.  <br /><br />
The exhibit explores the tenuous relationship between humans and animals as human civilization increasingly encroaches upon nature and will be on display at the Harvard Museum of Natural History through April 18, 2010.  Informed by actual newspaper accounts and oral histories from residents of the small town of Matamoras in northeastern Pennsylvania, Stein’s photographs are staged scenes, often using taxidermied animals, illustrating real-life encounters between humans and animals. A girl and huge bear stare at each other from opposite sides of a fence surrounding the family pool. Coyotes howl at a street light. Stein’s images, at the same time both surreal and paradoxical, explore the increasingly permeable boundary between the human/built environment and the wild. Stein writes, “We at once seek connection with the mystery and freedom of the natural world, yet we continually strive to tame the wild around us and compulsively control the wild within our own nature.&quot;<br /><br />
Elisabeth Werby, Executive Director of the Harvard Museum of Natural History commented.  “Stein’s images are vivid, dramatic and sometimes even humorous, yet they invite us to consider – and reconsider—the way we live with other animals.”  <br /><br />
Harvard Museum of Natural History:  Open 9:00 am to 5:00 pm, except major holidays.  Admission: $9.00; seniors and students $7.00; $6.00 ages 3-18; under 3 free. Free for Massachusetts residents Wednesdays, 3-5 p.m. (Sept-May) and every Sunday morning, 9:00 am –noon.
