This workshop aimed to provide a venue for philosophers and practising scientists working in human evolutionary studies to productively reflect on state-of-the-art challenges and prospects of studying human variation in an evolutionary setting.
This workshop aimed at putting into focus the relatively underexplored theoretical issue of trait individuation and analysing the variety of practices of individuation across a variety of fields, with their distinct epistemic constraints and goals.
