Everyone is invited to join us in person or online at the symposium “Evolution Beyond Biology”, on November 10 from 2-6pm (Brasilia time). All invited! PS: Nevermind the information in Portuguese, this is an event in English, to be transmitted live on YouTube “Instituto de Biociências da usp”!

Divulgando oportunidade de conhecer mais sobre a Morfometria geométrica e suas muitas aplicações em diversas disciplinas (Biologia, Paleontologia, Arqueologia, etc). E que venha uma nova geração de morfometristas! #morfometria #morfometriageométrica #morphometrics

Temos nosso novo site! Nele vocês podem conferir informações, curiosidades e outras peculiaridades da nossa espécie e do nosso processo evolutivo. evolucaohumana.ib.usp.br.
Oferecemos a possibilidade de empréstimo de materiais para atividades sem fins lucrativos de ensino, pesquisa ou extensão.

All invited to learn more about experimental archaeology at the Experimental Archaeology Conference EAC 2025, May 12-16, on EXARC YouTube channel! As part of the Scientific Committee, I can assure you that we will have very interesting presentations from all over the world 🙌

Another participation as an evaluator for Febrace (the Brazilian Fair of Science and Engineering)! Our high school students showing their creativity and innovation! Let’s all support the Brazilian science ❤️ (For legal and privacy reasons, we do not post photos of the students)

Finalmente recebi minha cópia do catálogo “De Cordinhas a Cordões: coleção de fibras vegetais do Vale do Peruaçu”, lindamente editado pela Letícia Dutra e Ana Carolina Montalvão, com meu prefácio (Mercedes Okumura) e textos de colegas!

New article about geoarchaeological studies incorporating micromorphology techniques to reveal the complex depositional and post‐depositional history of a mollusk shell‐matrix archaeological site in southeastern Brazil: doi.org/10.1002/gea.... (1st image shows how “easy” it was to access the site!)

Reportagem no Jornal da USP sobre a relação entre grupos humanos pretéritos e clima, baseado no artigo recente que publicamos na PlosOne: jornal.usp.br/ciencias/bra...

Feliz com minha pequena participação nesse projeto tão lindo! Lançamento do catálogo “De Cordinhas a Cordões: coleção de fibras vegetais do Vale do Peruaçu”, por Letícia Dutra e Ana Carolina Montalvão, com prefácio de Mercedes Okumura e outros textos.

An archaeologist is born! 😊Today we had the defense of Débora Barros (Federal University of Rio Grande), about “Human cranial morphology: A comparative analysis between individuals from different archaeological contexts of the Guaíba and coastal basins of Rio Grande do Sul”. #archaeology #Brazil

Opening of the exhibition “USP 90 years: an immersive journey through our Museums”. Beautiful pieces and virtual reality from the museums of the University of São Paulo. From January 30 to February 28, 2025, it’s worth a visit!

All invited to this exciting hybrid talk (in person and online). Let’s learn about the bioarchaeology of forager-farmer transition in SE Europe! #archaeology #bioarchaeology #prehistory #humanremains

Kudos to this wonderful initiative to promote more inclusive discussions with the Global South - virtual delegates based in Lower and Middle-Income Countries can register for free to attend the #HumanEvo25 meeting!

Goodbye, X! Hello, Bluesky! It was sad to leave behind my X account - a nice record of academic events and accomplishments since 2020… however, we certainly did not want to support misinformation and attacks to science and democracy. So here we are!
