Vera Aldeias | Biography
"I am a geoarchaeologist interested in deciphering past human behaviour from its sedimentary signatures. Identifying where our species first evolved and how specific traits of our current behaviour emerged has become one of my main areas of research. I am currently principal investigator and group leader at the Interdisciplinary Centre for Archaeology and the Evolution of Human Behaviour (ICArEHB), at the University of Algarve, Portugal. Prior to coming to Faro, I completed my PhD research at the Department of Earth, Environmental Sciences at the University of Pennsylvania (Philadelphia, USA) and was a researcher at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology (Leipzig, Germany)."
