The 7th annual meeting of the European Society for the Study of Human Evolution took place in Leiden, in the beautiful Staadsgehoorzaal, from September 20th until September 24th.
Three full days of excellent podium, pecha kucha and poster presentations and a fantastic opportunity to learn more about recent research in all fields of the study of human evolution on all continents.
The conference was the opportunity for Clément Ménard and I to present an update of our work on the backed pieces in the Horn of Africa.
The conference excursion this year was a visit of the Dubois/Trinil collection housed at Naturalis Biodiversity Center, including the Pithecanthropus erectus remains, the engraved Pseudodon vondembuschianus trinilensis shell, the original manuscript describing the remains and some of the fauna from Trinil.
