SFB 806 A3: Ethiopian lakes – Palaeoenvironmental reconstruction in the source region of modern man
Project
Project code: DFG SFB 806
Contract period: 01.01.2009
- 31.12.2009
Purpose of research: Basic research
The climatic and environmental context in the source region of the emergence of Modern Man is still poorly known. This project is, in strong cooperation with Henry Lamb (University of Aberystwyth), dedicated to the analysis of limnic sediments in Central and Southern Ethiopia in terms of elucidating the climate history of the last 200,000 years, in order to investigate the conditions which led to primary dispersal of Modern Man to Northwest Africa and to the Near East.
