Primatologen in discussie: Nederland en Japan

• Insight in the evolution of human cognition can be obtained through researching apes. 
• Only humans have emotions.
• In Japan, robots have a soul. 

These and more theses will be discussed by the Japanese and Dutch primatologists Tetsuro Matsuzawa and Jan van Hooff in the special ambience of the Leiden SieboldHuis. 

The discussion evening welcomes a broad and interested public and will take place on March 8, from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m. at Rapenburg 19 in Leiden. Although access to the event is free, a ticket is required as the museum will be open especially for this event (5:30 to 7:00 p.m.). A ticket can be bought online (€ 8,- for one adult) or at the entrance.
