From Anatomy to Behaviour

Human evolutionary studies have traditionally focused on teeth and cranial remains due to their preservation and potential for species identification, often overlooking the postcranial skeleton's significance in understanding behavioral and social aspects in our ancestors. However, recent years have witnessed a rise in research on the postcranial skeleton, leveraging diverse methodological approaches, particularly virtual anatomy techniques like biomechanical modeling and form-function analysis in primates and fossil specimens.

The symposium "From Anatomy to Behavior - Challenges and Solutions in Studying Hominin Postcranial Evolution" aims to bridge this gap by bringing together researchers developing novel methods to address key challenges and explore new perspectives.

Join us for this exciting event at the Henry Wellcome Building, where experts will discuss how anatomical features connect to behavior in our evolutionary past. The event will also be available online—email [email protected] or [email protected] for the link.
