The ERC FIRSTSTEPS project investigates the earliest dispersals of Homo sapiens into southeastern Europe through an interdisciplinary approach that integrates scientific archaeology, paleoanthropology, zoo archaeology, and isotopic analyses. The selected candidate will contribute to confirming the initial presence of H. sapiens in the region, examining adaptive differences with Neanderthals, and exploring the biological and cultural factors that facilitated their expansion. The project also aims to identify potential interactions between Sapiens and Neanderthals.
Activities include the morphological description of human fossil remains, morphometric and functional analyses using both traditional and digital methods, 3D modelling, geometric morphometrics, and virtual biomechanics. Isotopic and biomolecular investigations will be incorporated when available.
