Human populations have adapted to a range of environments around the world through various social and biological processes. Michelle Cameron’s research integrates evolutionary anthropology, archaeology, health research, and environmental studies to explore how interactions with the wider world shape the human body. In this talk, Cameron will discuss some of the ways that humans living in Southern Africa during the last 10,000 years have responded to diverse ecological challenges. Cameron will review how information from human skeletal remains, including isotopic, body shape, and biomechanical data, have contributed to this picture and will discuss new research avenues borrowing tools from contemporary ecology and palaeoenvironmental research.
