Early Career Researchers @emmabirdpalaeo Dr Hester Hanegraef & Lucile Crété from the Centre for Human Evolution spoke about the future of palaeoanthropology research at the Patron's event. A great evening of stimulating conversations! Big thanks to our host, Chris Stringer

Bones can tell us so many personal stories: from birth to funerary rituals. CHER researchers Louise Humphrey and Silvia Bello are experts in uncovering these stories. Here they share personal stories of their research in Britain and Morocco at our recent Patron’s event.

Science Journalist Robin McKie attended our recent Patron's Event to hear about some of our latest research. His new article highlights how CHER is branching into Proteomics - the study of ancient proteins - with the Francis Crick Institute: bit.ly/412woF8

Day 2 of #BABAO2023. Karen Swan, Rachel Ives and Louise Humphrey have a poster on ‘Exploring non-linear developmental trajectories of the femur during locomotor development’. Karen and Rachel are at the meeting so so stop for a chat!

Thanks to Science Media Centre UK Science Media Centre UK for hosting us today; helping us better understand how to communicate our research to the News Media and general public. Watch this space for Human Evolution research updates! #smcintro

Congratulations to our colleague Chris Stringer, who received a CBE medal from the Prince of Wales on October 4th. Chris has been at the Museum since 1973, and is well-known for research on the Recent African Origin hypothesis to explain the origin of our species, Homo sapiens.

Mostly out of Africa conference, happening right now at the Natural History Museum in honour of Chris Stringer who's work pioneered the 'Out of Africa' theory.

Thank you ⁦The RAI⁩ ⁦NHM Anthropology⁩ and a host of great participants for a wonderful conference over the last 2 days that showed how exciting our field is at the present time! Thank you for the medal too!

Chris Stringer Chris Stringer became the 120th recipient of the the Huxley Medal on Nov 7 Natural History Museum. The highest award bestowed by the Royal Anthropological Institute The RAI, the medal is given to distinguished researchers in the field of anthropology.

Join our Anthropology Scientists at the after-hours event 'Valentine's at the Museum'. Explore 'The Origins of Human Love: Pair-bonding in Primate and Human Groups' and 'Tinder: Human-Neanderthal Interbreeding in the Age of Fire' at our Science Stations nhm.ac.uk/events/valenti…

Incredibly busy night on Wednesday for 'Valentine's at the Museum'. Our Anthropology Scientists [Emma Bird, Lucile Créte, and Karen Swan] met hundreds of couples and chatted all things love, pair-bonding, and mating across the world of primates.

The Anthropology team visited the excavation site at Barnham, Suffolk last week. An incredibly rich Lower Palaeolithic site with Clactonian archaeology, flora, and fauna, telling us about the lives of Middle Pleistocene Britons.
