The Interdisciplinary Center for Archeology and Evolution of Human Behavior (ICArEHB ), based at the University of Algarve, organizes, between 23 April and 16 July, the ICArEHB Dialogues.
The first event will be dedicated to the theme «Origins of Human Behavior», with the participation of Robert Foley and Susana Carvalho, and moderated by Ricardo Godinho.
The sessions will be in English and through the Zoom platform.
The ICArEHB researchers are dedicated to "discovering human histories from the beginning of our species to the emergence of complex societies", explains the research center.
The set of ICArEHB Dialogues was designed to represent the breadth of research that the Center encompasses and to involve researchers and the public from around the world, with research carried out by leading experts in their fields, whose work fits into the research objectives and themes. of the ICArEHB.
Eight researchers were invited, whose fields range from early human evolution to the more recent development of complex societies.
Each session will feature a guest and a member of the ICArEHB, with the aim of stimulating dialogue between researchers and providing an opportunity for the scientific community and the public to join the conversation on such relevant topics of human origin.
The ICArEHB intends, with this initiative, "to inspire dialogues on the nature of human cultural and biological evolution".

The ICarEHB - Interdisciplinary Center for Archeology and the Evolution of Human Behavior is a research center based at the University of Algarve, which brings together a group of foreign and national researchers with a main objective: to develop research and contribute to a better understanding of the evolution of human behavior from an archaeological and anthropological perspective.
The investigation is organized into four groups – prehistoric coastal adaptations, African archeology and human evolution, development of complex societies and history of archaeological science – focusing mainly on the emergence of anatomically modern humans, hunter-gatherer coastal adaptations, the development of complex societies, and African archeology, using different disciplines and methodological approaches, such as geoarchaeology, wear and tear analysis, zooarchaeology, paleobotany and GIS.
Currently, ICArEHB members are actively participating in a large number of projects taking place in Europe and Africa.
