"As an Independent Junior Group Leader at the Human Origins Cluster of Excellence, I study how ecological and social environments shape the ways humans and other hominins live and have lived throughout our evolutionary history. In turn, how this diversity has influenced genetic, phenotypic, and cultural evolution, helping to shape the breadth of the human ecological niche and our adaptive success. My research combines population genetics, evolutionary and computational modelling, archaeology, and fieldwork with several hunter-gatherer populations, mainly in Africa.“
