Lucy 50 Monthly Lecture Series—Chris Campisano PhD

Join ASU Institute of Human Origins researchers in 2024 for a year-long “master class” in human origins research as they illuminate the many facets of how we “became human” and what that means for the future of humans on the planet. Chris Campisano PhD—Climate change and human evolution Global and regional climate change is one of the primary culprits used to explain the changes we see in the early hominin fossil and archaeological record. But what exactly controls large-scale climate patterns, and how are they manifested in particular regions of eastern Africa where our ancestors lived? Primarily using data from drill-core records near hominin sites, Chris Campisano will discuss how we extract climatic and environmental signals from the sedimentary record, what changes we see (and what we don’t), and how they may relate to critical intervals in human evolutionary history.
