We are delighted to announce our timetable of Evolutionary Anthropology talks for Semester 1 of the new academic year! 🥳🤩 All of our talks will be streamed online via MS Teams. Our first talk this semester will be on the 8th October 2026, from 13:00-14:00 GMT. We hope you will join us!

Does anyone have a pdf they could share of Van Valen's 1973 paper 'A New Evolutionary Law'? It's the one about the Red Queen hypothesis. I would be eternally grateful!

New evaluation of the taxonomic affinities of the Late Pleistocene fossil hominin from Kabua, Kenya. Very happy to finally have the chance to finish and publish this work, nearly a decade after a very happy time in Tuebingen working on it with excellent colleagues. doi.org/10.1111/1467...
