She holds a BSc in Biochemistry (University of Paris-VII-Diderot), a MSc in Physical Sciences applied to European Archaeological Heritage (University of Bordeaux-III-Montaigne), and a PhD in Biogeochemistry (University of Paris-VI-Pierre et Marie Curie). She is specialized in stable isotope study of Late Pleistocene and Holocene teeth and bones with a focus on climatic influences on the ecology of animals and the evolution of the human diet in ancient hunter-gatherers.

 

Dr. Sibylle Wolf

Dr. Sibylle Wolf is a scientific member and scientific coordinator at the Senckenberg Centre for Human Evolution and Palaeoenvironment (SHEP) at the University of Tübingen.
