This project aims to ascertain the timing, context and nature of early human evolution and associated cultural turnovers in southern Europe using cutting-edge dating techniques. The project plans to use recent advances in extended-range luminescence dating to establish unequivocal, multifaceted chronologies for a comprehensive range of human fossil and stone tool sites from the Iberian Peninsula. The outcomes of this project are expected to advance our understanding of early human history by providing a critical temporal reappraisal of modelled hominin evolutionary relationships, determining the mode and tempo of cultural turnovers, and unravelling how past human populations responded to major climate change and environmental pressures.

该项目旨在利用尖端的测年技术确定南欧早期人类进化和相关文化变迁的时间、背景和性质。该项目计划利用扩展发光测年方面的最新进展，为伊比利亚半岛的一系列人类化石和石器遗址建立明确的、多方面的年代学。该项目的成果有望推动我们对早期人类历史的理解，提供对模拟的原始人进化关系的关键的时间重新评估，确定文化转变的模式和节奏，并揭示过去的人类人口如何应对主要的气候变化和环境压力。
