Research within the Contexts of Human Evolution Group involves archaeological, palaeontological and environmental analyses of human evolution. Our research focuses on mammalian evolution, hominin behaviour and ecology, and patterns of faunal and floral distribution. Discover our research areas and current projects, facilities, collaborations, publications and people.
The Research Centre in Evolutionary Anthropology and Palaeoecology pursue knowledge and seek evidence in the areas of: social behaviour, ecology and conservation; human variation and adaptability; human evolution; and forensic anthropology. Find out more about each specific area of interest.
