个人简介
I study early human evolution, predominantly in Africa during the time period between 1 and 4 million years ago. At the heart of this research are hominin fossils newly discovered during fieldwork of the Koobi Fora Research Project in the Turkana Basin of northern Kenya. The new evidence these fossils provide is especially important for our understanding of (1) the early evolution of the genus Homo, and (2) the diversity of early hominin species during the middle Pliocene (3-4 million years ago). My work mostly focusses on the skull, and I explore how it is affected by brain development, chewing function, body posture and locomotion, aiming to assess the biological basis of species differences in our evolutionary past. A particular area of interest is the inner ear, and I study this structure not only in the context of human evolution, but in other vertebrate groups as well. The inner ear includes the sensory organs of balance and hearing and can provide valuable clues about a species’ locomotion and auditory capabilities.
