 The Archaeology of Modern Human Evolution in AfricaIMG_4304

Leverhulme Centre for Human Evolutionary Studies, University of Cambridge, 16-17 May 2014

The aim of the workshop is to discuss issues related to chronological and geographical variation in the African MSA, as well as what (and how) this variation is recorded and quantified, including the role of the non-lithic elements of the record in informing us about early human behaviour, history and adaptation. The workshop will consist of informal, round-table discussions, as well as a morning discussing technology and the making of MSA artefacts with John Lord.
