Carolin Röding is a postdoctoral researcher in the FIRSTSTEPS project at the University of Tübingen.
While completing her bachelor’s degree in Biology she developed an interest in human evolution with a special emphasis on brain evolution. In her master thesis she continued to use the methodological toolkit of geometric morphometrics to answer questions about the cerebellar evolution in hominids. During the subsequent PhD her focus shifted slightly to virtual cranial reconstructions and adapting cutting edge methodology to the study of very fragmented hominin cranial and dental remains from the broader Mediterranean region. Further her research interests include hominin variation, the interaction between brain and braincase as well as cranial integration and modularity.
