Major transitions in human evolution

Scientific discussion meeting organised in partnership with the British Academy by Professor Robert Foley FBA, Professor Chris Stringer FRS, Professor Marta Mirazón Lahr and Professor Lawrence Martin

The rich human palaeoanthropological record shows an unexpectedly complex pattern in the tempo and mode of human evolution. Evidence for many of the key phases is found in East Africa, and has been shaped by critical discoveries by teams led by Richard Leakey, or work inspired by his finds. The meeting focuses on key evolutionary transitions to understand the interaction of biology, behaviour, culture and environment.
