Reciprocity: On the Co-Evolution of Seeds, Plants, and People
Kemper Art Museum Lobby, Danforth Campus
April 17, 2025, 5:30 pm
Cultivating seeds is an ancient cultural practice based on the reciprocal relations between humans, plants, and the land. Yet how exactly does this reciprocity work? Natalie Mueller, anthropology assistant professor, will speak on the co-evolutionary relationship between humans and plants.
