Dr Lucy Timbrell 

I am a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Human Palaeosystems Group at the Max Planck Institute of Geoanthropology and the Human Origins Group in the Department of Archaeology, Classics and Egyptology at the University of Liverpool.  

My work employs a variety of quantitative approaches, such as geometric morphometrics, eco-cultural niche modelling and Geographic Information Systems, to investigate the articulation between material culture, demography and palaeoenvironments in Africa and Europe. 

I also teach various topics within archaeology and human evolution studies at both undergraduate and postgraduate level. I enjoy science communication and ran a website Conversations in Human Evolution during the COVID-19 pandemic where I interviewed researchers investigating human origins and diversity.
