Research Interest
Interactions between landscape, ecosystem and organism in driving evolutionary change and the emergence of complex anatomies and behaviours. This work has had a particular focus on hominins, and on the complex ways in which our ancestors might have interacted with the heterogeneous, dynamic environments in which they lived. In 2013, we produced the new scrambler man hypothesis of human evolution, which proposes that these landscapes might be key to understanding our history.
