  3. Teaching and learning

    The Research Centre in Evolutionary Anthropology and Palaeoecology offer a range of learning opportunities in natural sciences including animal behaviour, biology, conservation, bioarchaeology, forensic anthropology and primate behaviour. Find out about our current MPhil projects and PhD opportunities.

  4. Expertise

    The Research Centre in Evolutionary Anthropology and Palaeoecology pursue knowledge and seek evidence in the areas of: social behaviour, ecology and conservation; human variation and adaptability; human evolution; and forensic anthropology. Find out more about each specific area of interest.

  5. PhD studies

    View the current PhD projects within the Research Centre in Evolutionary Anthropology and Palaeoecology to find out the type of work our PhD students undertake. Plus, find out how to apply for a PhD within the Centre.

  7. Contexts of human evolution

    Research within the Contexts of Human Evolution Group involves archaeological, palaeontological and environmental analyses of human evolution. Our research focuses on mammalian evolution, hominin behaviour and ecology, and patterns of faunal and floral distribution. Discover our research areas and current projects, facilities, collaborations, publications and people.

  8. Forensic anthropology

    The Forensic anthropology group is committed to the development of protocols and guidelines to increase the reliability of the recovery, documentation and analysis of human remains. We provide casework consultancy for forensic anthropological analysis, facial approximation and mass grave excavation. Find out about our work by viewing our publications, collaborations, research areas and people.

  9. Human variation and adaptability

    Through the fields of palaeoanthropology, bioarchaeology, palaeogenetics, evolutionary genetics and human biology - we study human variation. Discover more about human variation and adaptability, the projects we are currently working on, read our papers, and meet the researchers.

  10. Social behaviour, ecology and conservation

    Our interest lies in the evolution of animal societies and the interactions that occur within these societies and their link to emotion, cognition and communication. We primarily study primates (including humans) but also other species including birds.
