Abstract

L'an dernier l'université de Gadjah Mada (Jogjakarta) inaugurait une projet de recherches archéologique avec le support financier du Ministère des Recherches Nationales de l'Indonésie ainsi que des départements d'archéologie et de Géologie. Le projet vise à découvrir des fossils qui pourraient compléter les séries paléanthropologiques indonésiennes en y ajoutant d'autres spécimens. L'auteur fait ici un rapport préliminaire sur la découverte d'un nouveau crane hominidé à Sangiran (Java central).

Neandertals

For years, I've worked on their bones. Now I'm working on their genes. Read more about the science studying these ancient people.

Denisova

From a finger bone of an ancient human came the record of a completely unexpected population. My lab is working on the science of the Denisova genome.

Acceleration

The advent of agriculture caused natural selection to speed up greatly in humans. We're uncovering some of the ways that populations have rapidly changed during the last 10,000 years.

Malapa

Just outside Johannesburg, the Malapa site is producing some of the most exciting finds in human evolution. This site is the headquarters of the Malapa Soft Tissue Project.
