I was really excited when I saw this study being presented at ICArEHB last January and I'm really glad to see the paper out! Amazing record of cultural transmission strategies & cultural traits over 3 million years 🤩 journals.plos.org/plosone/articl…

New preprint led by fantastic Margherita Colucci on the impact of malaria on shaping human habitat choice over the last 74,000 years! 🦟🧪 So proud of the work of all the authors and so grateful for having been able to play a little part in it 🤗🥰 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

So brilliant this piece by Cecilia Padilla-Iglesias about how human societies have often been so flexible that political hierarchies change with the seasons, literally. Link in next tweet

Before the ‘Out of Africa’ migration that led humans into Eurasia and beyond, new research shows that humans expanded their niche to include African forests and deserts. Authors argue these adaptations were key to the dispersal's long-term success gea.mpg.de/158211/Before-…

Although most of our lab members are now in the other place - I'll share here this fantastic paper that they just published in nature showing a major expansion of the niche of our species before the dispersal out of Africa! Have a read, it is amazing 😍 nature.com/articles/s4158…

"The 'Western world' is not the culmination of a 10,000-year-long march but an anomaly in a 300,000-year-long history of Homo sapiens’ cultural adaptability." Cecilia Padilla-Iglesias for Sapiens: sapiens.org/biology/forage…

Delighted to see our new paper out in Science Advances investigating the evolution of infant directed communication, led by Franziska Wegdell, Johanna Schick and Caroline Fryns UZH Science Comparative Cognition Neuchatel

"Las instituciones parecen inmutables, cambiando sólo durante las revoluciones, los golpes de estado o las guerras." (...) el “mundo occidental” es una anomalía de 300.000 años de adaptabilidad cultural del Homo sapiens." Cecilia Padilla-Iglesias Antropóloga. sapiens.org/biology/forage…

#SAfA2025 kicks off today in #Faro, #Portugal! Hosted by #ICArEHB, we’re ready to welcome the global #AfricanistArchaeology community for a week of connection and knowledge-sharing at the #CrossroadsThroughTime.

This is really sad news. Sapiens was a fantastic medium to share, promote and diversify anthropological research and insights and the platform where many people (like me) learnt and developed skills in science communication. Times are tough, but Sapiens’ niche is now left empty☹️
