DESCRIPTION:Definitions of our species have tended to focus on fossils\, ge
 netics\, or its unique capacities for symbolism\, language\, social networ
 king\, technological competence\, and cognitive development. More recently
 \, however\, attention is increasingly turning towards humans’ ecologica
 l plasticity. In this talk\, Patrick will provide a critical evaluation of
  existing archaeological and palaeo-environmental datasets relating to the
  Pleistocene (300-12 ka) dispersal of our species within and beyond Africa
 . He will argue\, following comparison with the available information for 
 other members of the genus <i>Homo</i>\, that our species developed a new 
 ecological niche\, that of the ‘generalist specialist’.\nSpeaker: Dr. 
 Patrick Roberts
