The HUMAN BEHAVIOURAL ECOLOGY research group aims to understand the behaviour of individuals in living human populations using a framework that incorporates both biological and cultural evolutionary perspectives. We are interested in testing hypotheses about the biological, cultural, and environmental underpinnings of human productive, reproductive, and social behaviour using quantitative...

The Palaeoanthropology and Primate Evolutionary Biology Research Group aims to understand the behaviour of our extinct hominin relatives through examining skeletal and dental morphology. Our research takes a comparative focus, where we seek to interpret variation in the hominin fossil record through the use of extant comparative reference samples such as the great apes, gibbons and modern humans...

The Primatology Research Group conducts behavioural studies on wild and captive primates to answer fundamental questions about how animals adapt to environmental change. This is done by applying theories of evolutionary biology and socioecology to explore what drives behavioural and biological adaptation in our closest living relatives. Our research has implications for improving our ability to...

The Skeletal Biology and Forensic Anthropology Research Group conducts research in three main biological anthropology research areas: bioarchaeology, forensic anthropology, and biology of the human skeleton. Our research in bioarchaeology is primarily focused on Southeast-Asian and European populations, aiming to reconstruct ancient human lifeways, behaviour, health, and disease by studying human...
