Human Paleoecology

From late Palaeolithic hunter-gatherers to the first farming communities in the Old World, we study the impacts of environmental and climate change on human societies, the evolution of human foodways, plant and animal domestication, the transition from foraging to farming, and the prehistory of disease, with a distinctive geographical focus on the late Palaeolithic and Neolithic societies of Southwest Asia and the Mediterranean basin.
