Did Neanderthals and Homo sapiens develop similar technical behaviours independently in Europe and Africa? Our postdoctoral researcher @mariannafusco.bsky.social is currently at CEPAM in Nice to do comparative analyses on stone tools technology to find answers to this question!

Likely no hunters of Elephants nor masters of fire - new paper on taphonomic analysis challenges former assumptions on Homo floresensis. Congratulations to Grace Veatch, who recently started her position as an Independent Junior Research Group Lead at Human Origins! www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Taphonomic analysis at Liang Bua reveals the behavioral and technological capabilities of Homo floresiensis

Homo floresiensis scavenged Stegodon and did not use fire, challenging previous claims of advanced behavior.

Dear Archaeology. From January I'll be unemployed. Deadline for my PhD Dissertation is March. The usual thing than would be to submit project proposals. Anyway, if you need additional workforce, I could be yours. Thread 1/4
