Research/PhD
There are three main strands to research on Neanderthal behaviour at Leiden University.
- The first is the study of the formation, chronology and environments of Middle Palaeolithic sites.
- The second involves reconstruction of Neanderthal behaviour, primarily on the basis of stone tools, fauna and spatial patterns.
- Finally, studies of the Neanderthal niche use theory and comparative data from disciplines such as evolutionary ecology, primatology and palaeoanthropology to address differences between the Neanderthal and anatomically modern human record.
