We are pleased to announce the 1st Kyoto Workshop on Evolutionary Thanatology, which will be held at Kyoto University on March 24, 2017. The aim of this workshop is to bring together people who are interested in the broad topic of death and dying from multiple perspectives (archaeology, anthropology, sociology, psychology, biology, medicine, ethics....). Ten invited speakers will give oral presentations on their particular research areas, with questions & discussion. The emerging theme of the workshop is responses to, treatment of, and the meaning of deceased individuals from the perspective of the bereaved. An international line-up of distinguished speakers from Japan and abroad will talk about the evolution of funerary practices in early and modern human societies, how nonhuman primates respond to and deal with the death of members of their group (adults and infants), and the impact of the dying and dead on the living in modern humans.
