ICArEHB Dialogues: Origins of Stone Tool Use

ICArEHB researchers focus on uncovering human stories from the beginnings of our species to the emergence of complex societies. The ICArEHB Dialogues series was designed to represent the breadth of research that the centre covers and to engage researchers and the public from across the world with the research of leading experts, whose work falls within ICArEHB’s research agenda and themes. We hope that this seminar series inspires dialogues about the nature of human cultural and biological evolution. The subject of our inaugural series is ‘Origins of… ‘ .

We have invited eight researchers, whose interests range from early human evolution to the more recent development of complex societies. Each session will feature an invited guest and a member of ICArEHB, aiming to stimulate a dialogue between researchers and provide a chance for the research community and public to join the conversation on important topics in human origins.

ICArEHB Dialogues 'Origins of Stone Tool Use' , took place on June 18th, with David Braun and João Marreiros, and was convened by João Cascalheira.
