Description
Conversations in Human Evolution brings together twenty in-depth interviews with leading researchers in human evolution studies. This collection explores the breadth and interdisciplinarity of human evolution research, covering themes from quaternary science to primatology. The conversations feature academics from around the world, based at institutions on four continents, sharing their perspectives on the study of our species' evolutionary history. The discussions delve into current advances in research, theory, and methods, as well as the socio-political issues that persist within academia. By contextualising scientific knowledge with personal experience and historical reflection, this volume aims to bridge the gap between researchers and their work, providing a unique insight into human evolution studies.
