Event details
The rich human palaeoanthropological record shows an unexpectedly complex pattern in the tempo and mode of human evolution. Evidence for many of the key phases is found in East Africa, and has been shaped by critical discoveries by teams led by Richard Leakey, or work inspired by his finds. The meeting focuses on key evolutionary transitions to understand the interaction of biology, behaviour, culture and environment.
Recorded audio of the presentations will be available on this page after the event and the papers will be published in a future issue of Philosophical Transactions B.
Posters will be presented during a drinks reception and networking session immediately following the close of the meeting on Thursday 22 October.
