The Chimpanzee & Human Communication Institute (CHCI), a leader in animal welfare and advocate for chimpanzees, is currently taking applications for our Summer 2013 Apprentice Program. Graduates, undergraduates, and post-graduates from various academic backgrounds (e.g. Anthropology, Biology, Psychology, Linguistics, Philosophy, etc.) and all nationalities are encouraged to apply.
The dates of the program are June 23 to August 16, 2013.
The research at CHCI involves a group of chimpanzees who use the signs of American Sign Language (ASL). Washoe, Moja, Tatu, and Dar were part of the cross-fostering research that began in 1966 with Drs. R.A. & B.T. Gardner. Each chimpanzee was raised in an enriched environment in which his or her human family members used only ASL, much like the environment in which a deaf human child grows up. Loulis was adopted by Washoe in 1978 and learned his signs from chimpanzees. Currently, Tatu, Dar, and Loulis reside at CHCI on the campus of Central Washington University in Ellensburg, WA, in a large state-of-the-art facility.
Apprentices are at the institute daily -- cleaning enclosures, preparing meals and enrichment, making observations of the chimpanzees, and participating in one or more research projects. The first week is intensive training in laboratory jobs and chimpanzee behaviors. After several weeks each apprentice becomes more autonomous and has responsibilities in research and husbandry. The philosophy of CHCI is that the needs of the chimpanzees come first. Apprentices are trained in humane care and research techniques.
The program fee is $1900 and there is a non-refundable $25 application processing fee. The costs do not include housing and transportation. Housing is available on campus. A course in ASL is highly recommended but not required. For more information on the program and the application please see our web page at www.cwu.edu/chci/apprentice-program or contact Bonnie Hendrickson by email at hendricksonb@cwu.edu or by mail CHCI-CWU, 400 East University Way, Ellensburg, WA 98926. The deadline to apply is February 22, 2013.

The Unravelling Human Origins abstract submission deadline for papers and posters is Friday 2nd November. If you are interested in contributing please fill out and submit the form at the following link:
Following Unravelling the Palaeolithic (CAHO Southampton 2011) and HOBET (Liverpool 2012), Unravelling Human Origins is an interdisciplinary forum to stimulate discussion on a wide variety of topics related to the archaeology of human origins. The conference will consist of three sessions:
- Adaptation to Old and New Landscapes - includes the studies of hominin dispersals, adaptations to new landscapes, population changes through time and allows a multidisciplinary discussion of humans in their landscape. Applications from the following fields are invited: ancient DNA and population genetics, isotope studies, lithic and faunal analysis, climatic and environmental studies and human remains, as well as cognitive approaches to changing landscape(s).
- Creativity, Communication and Personhood - focuses on inter- and intra-group social interactions, origins of language as a metaphor, non-verbal communication as a form of early notification, the role of arts and crafts as technology and aesthetic experience, and the creation of meaning as a socially recognisable signification of individuals.
- Food in the Palaeolithic - includes a wide range of interests from the reconstruction of what the first hominins ate to the social context and meaning of food and consumption techniques in the Late Pleistocene, including new analytical approaches to food remains and subsistence strategies.
Specifically, we would like to concentrate on the questions that reflect the contemporary in Palaeolithic study but also put forward new topics that could stimulate and possibly combine the new theoretical approaches with the results of scientific techniques. Contributions from other fields of study are welcome.
Conference fees can now be found on our website at the link below and registration will be open shortly! For further information please visit the website or contact us at the address below.

Unravelling Human Origins Organising Committee
This four week program offers students the opportunity to participate in a paleoanthropology fieldschool at the famous fossil hominin locality of Swartkrans, South Africa. Swartkrans, a cave site approximately twenty miles from Johannesburg, is recognized as one of the world’s most important archaeological and fossil localities for the study of human evolution. The site’s geological deposits span millions of years and sample several important events in human evolution. The oldest finds at the site date between 1.8 and 1.0-million-years-old, a time period during which our immediate ancestor, Homo erectus, shared the landscape with the extinct ape-man species Australopithecus robustus. In addition to fossils of these species, Swartkrans also preserves an abundant archaeological record of their behavior, in the form of stone and bone tools, as well as butchered animal bones, and possible evidence of the control of fire by early hominins.
Fieldschool participants will learn about these fascinating ancestors through a hands-on course that includes instruction in archaeological survey, site mapping, excavation, and field recording, as well as in artifact and fossil analysis (hominin and animal) and laboratory techniques. Fieldwork will be supplemented with occasional lectures, workshops and fossil locality tours with internationally recognized paleoanthropologists working at nearby sites.
The program is directed by Dr. Travis Pickering, Professor of Anthropology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Over his fifteen years of working in South Africa, Professor Pickering has cultivated strong relationships with other researchers and institutions in the area, ensuring that students on this program will see original fossils and artifacts and receive site tours from the primary researchers in the field. The program is very comprehensive and expands beyond the bounds of simply excavating for four weeks at one site.
The course is listed as ANTH 454 (Topics in Biological Anthropology: Fieldschool at Swartkrans Cave, South Africa) and is run through the International Academic Program (IAP) of the University of Wisconsin-Madison. It is a four-week, six-credit course, with an honors option. Please contact Pickering (tpickering@wisc.edu) or IAP representative Erica Haas-Gallo (haasgallo@bascom.wisc.edu; 608-261-1020) for application details and deadlines, course requirements, and information on course fees and credit transfer.
