This five year project (2019-2024) is funded by European Research Council under the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme (grant agreement No. 819960).
Lead by Prof. Matthew Skinner and a group of international researchers, the goal of he project is to use cutting-edge analyses of hominin fossils to determine the adaptive niche(s) occupied by a growing number of small-brained, small-bodied hominin species including Homo habilis, Australopithecus sediba, Homo naledi, and Homo floresiensis.
