The University of Kansas has been awarded a grant to convene a workshop on ecological niche modeling for early hominid groups. The workshop will bring together a wide array of experts in early hominid evolution, paleoclimatology, niche modeling and informatics. The popular GARP algorithm that has been widely used to model and then map the potential habitat of various organisms, will be the primary tool used. It will be modified for use with paleoclimates. The workshop will be primarily aimed at developing a proof-of-concept and preliminary data to serve as the basis for a large and integrated collaboratory research project.

堪萨斯大学获得了一笔赠款，将为早期原始人群体举办一次生态位建模研讨会。研讨会将汇集早期原始人进化、古气候学、生态位建模和信息学方面的广泛专家。流行的GARP算法将是主要使用的工具，该算法已被广泛用于对各种生物的潜在栖息地进行建模并绘制地图。它将经过改装，以适应古气候。讲习班的主要目的是制定概念验证和初步数据，作为大型综合合作研究项目的基础。
