CARTA: Awareness of Death and Personal Mortality: Implications for Anthropogeny

Humans have the unique ability to contemplate our personal mortality. When, how, and why did that ability emerge in our evolutionary history? CARTA brings together speakers from a wide range of disciplines to help us better understand how an increased awareness of death and personal mortality shaped the evolution of humans.
