Short description of research profile

Following its emergency in Africa, human populations started migrating and dispersing within and outside Africa. Current research indicates that climate changes and increased human population density may have triggered both human inventive and adaptive behavior and dispersal. To better understand prehistoric behavior and human dispersal in Africa, our team is developing groundbreaking research on the past social and cultural interactions between human populations and between humans, the environment and other species surrounding them.

Short description of research profile

Eurasia played a critical role in unravelling details of our evolution from the appearance of the earliest Homo species to the transition from Neanderthals to Homo sapiens around 40,000 years ago. The ICArEHB’s group 'Dynamics of Paleolithic People in Eurasia' explores the cultural, social, and environmental interactions that occurred during the Pleistocene across this vast and diverse geographical area. Its goal is to contribute towards a better understanding of the factors that led to our status as the only surviving species on Earth.

Short description of research profile

The transition from hunting-gathering-fishing to agriculture as the main form of obtaining dietary calories was one of the key moments in human evolution. It occurred at different times in distinct parts of the world. Often, this led to an increase in social complexity, inequality and to the appearance of state societies. We analyse traces left behind in the archaeological, bio-anthropological and palaeobotanical records, while evaluating the relationship between daily human activities and ecological/climatic changes overtime.
