How many edible plants that are native to the Sonoran Desert can you name? How long ago did maize (corn) arrive in the Sonoran Desert? These are some of the questions we’ll be exploring in our next upcoming Armchair Anthropology event with Dr. James T. Watson! Dr. Watson is the Associate Director at the Arizona State Museum. His research examines health and disease in prehistoric populations through their skeletal remains and is focused specifically in understanding prehistoric human adaptations in desert ecosystems and the role local resources play in the adoption of agriculture and their impact on health.  Some of his current projects involve the excavation and analysis of the earliest farmers in the Sonoran Desert and of incipient agriculturalists in the Atacama Desert, along the northern coast of Chile. Join Whiskey Del Bac in collaboration with the Arizona State Museum for this free educational event!
