My research interests are broad but can be summarised as:
The articulation between climate, ecology and hominin material culture
2D and 3D geometric morphometrics
The African Middle Stone Age and recent human origins
Complex fitness landscapes as theoretical models of cultural evolution
Identifying and analysing the role of refugia in hominin evolution
Collaborative and remote research designs, including research synthesis
I am also actively involved in fieldwork projects in Kenya, Ghana and Senegal.
Some projects I am involved with:
Some projects I am involved with:
Modelling drivers of behavioural variability in hunter-gatherers
Modelling drivers of behavioural variability in hunter-gatherers
I am interested in understanding the role of changes in size, density and interconnectedness of hunter-gatherer populations, and ecological change in determining rates and patterning of cultural innovation and diversification.
Developing reproducible metrics for quantifying lithic variability
Developing reproducible metrics for quantifying lithic variability
My work involves quantitative assessment of stone tool assemblages through establishing replicable methods and protocols of analysis. This is often in collaboration with the Comparative Analysis of Middle Stone Age Artefacts (CoMSAfrica) working group .
Applications of climatic model time series to questions on the deep past
Applications of climatic model time series to questions on the deep past
I am working on various projects applying climate model outputs, primarily via ongoing collaboration with the developers of the pastclim R packge in the Evolutionary Ecology Group at the University of Cambridge.
