SOCIAL: Ice Age Bay Area Lecture TOMORROW NIGHT!

[Amandeep Jawa]

Ok -

I've been meaning to go to one of these lectures for 1000 years and  
have failed (they are in outer mongolia!) but tomorrow I will really  
give it a big try!  Why? MAMMOTHS dammit!

Topic: Ice Age Bay Area

The hamburger joint on my corner has been there forever...or has it??  
Set your time machine back to the most recent ice age, 10-20,000 years  
ago, and you'll find yourself in a San Francisco you would scarcely  
recognize. You might think you'd been transported to the African  
plains, a grassy landscape teeming with mammoths, mastadons, saber- 
toothed cats, camels, llamas, and lions. Our familiar local geography  
would be unrecognizable as well. While much ocean water was locked  
away in ice masses to the north, lower sea levels exposed miles of  
land off of our current coastline, and the Bay Area had no bay — in  
its place was a vast, lush valley with a massive river running through  
it. Join us on a trip backwards in time with the Oakland Museum's  
Douglas Long at the helm. Tonight's event is presented in  
collaboration with KQED's QUEST Science and Environment Series. We'll  
start the evening by watching QUEST's "Ice Age Bay Area" video.

Speaker: Douglas Long; Chief Curator, Department of Natural Sciences,
Oakland Museum of California

Location: Axis Cafe, 1201 8th Street (btw. 16th & Irwin) San Francisco
