SUMMARY:Hominin behavioural dynamics in the insular rainforests of eastern

DESCRIPTION:In the Pleistocene\, Homo sapiens and other members of our gen
 us dispersed across the globe into novel and challenging environments. How
  these hominins came to populate one particularly challenging ecology\, is
 land rainforests\, can tell us a great deal about the dynamics of human be
 havioural flexibility in the deep past. This seminar will present new fiel
 d and laboratory data pertinent to this topic from the archaeologically en
 igmatic Raja Ampat Islands\, which lie at the interface of Island Southeas
 t Asia and New Guinea. It was in these equatorial islands that different h
 uman populations first came to adapt to small island rainforests as they c
 rossed narrow water gaps\, and major biogeographic divides\, between the E
 urasia and Oceania.\n\nFor more information: www.raja-ampat-arch.com
