The regions of the world that hosted the earliest evolution of our species in Africa, and the expansion of early human populations to adjacent regions of Asia and Europe, are associated with high levels of geological instability resulting from tectonic and volcanic activity and sea-level change. These active landscapes may have played a key role in driving the trajectory of human evolution and dispersal, creating ecologically attractive conditions despite the attendant risks. This project is aimed at exploring this relationship between human expansion and landscape instability, developing new methods of landscape reconstruction, including exploration of the now-submerged regions that existed when sea-level was substantially lower than present, and developing new methods of landscape reconstruction using new technologies of aerial and submarine remote sensing.
