Jane Goodall and Dian Fossey. Richard Leakey and Don Johanson. Lee Berger and Tim White. In this course we will examine how jealousy and competition drive knowledge production and sabotage in the hunt for human ancestors. we will do so by exploring how these personalities, and others, have leveraged the media, from the New York Times to National Geographic, to push forward their vision and status in science. Through scientific articles, popular books and movies, and documentaries, we will also explore some of the central questions that have undergirded paleoanthropology. (Anthropology)/
