Did Pleistocene Hominins Grow Up Like Us

Jean-Jaques Hublin serves as the Director of the Department of Human Evolution at Max Planck Institute,Leipzig. His research has focused on the origin and evolution of Neanderthals. He has proposed an accretion model for the emergence of the Neanderthal lineage that roots it in time in the middle of the Pleistocene. He has also worked with the processes associated with the emergence of Homo sapiens and on the interactions between Neanderthals and anatomically modern humans in Europe. He developed the use of medical and virtual imaging in the reconstruction and study of fossil hominids and paid attention to the growth and development issues. He has led field operations is North Africa, Spain, and France. In addition to his scientific papers, he has published popular books and articles on the subjects of Neanderthal and early modern human evolution.
