About
My current research is focused on developing a holistic approach to the reconstruction of hominin landscapes and landscape exploitation. To do this, I will be conducting a comparative study of the functional morphology of the primate foot and exploring whether that morphology can be used to classify species into ecotypes, as this would enable researchers to test various hypotheses of hominin ecology and relationships with environmental conditions. I am interested in extending this work by using ecological reconstructions (from foot morphology) to test whether the distribution of early hominin fossil sites in Africa corresponds to an ecological pattern or a taphonomic one, and hence establish a baseline for the study of hominin landscapes.
