Funded Activity Summary

The hobbit's tools and the evolution of human behaviour in Southeast Asia . This project aims to investigate the behavioural evolution of the extinct Homo floresiensis (the 'hobbit') and modern humans on Flores, Indonesia. Using innovative, interdisciplinary approaches to integrate stone tools with simulation modelling, this project expects to generate new understanding about the behavioural strategies of the two human species and their interactions with the Flores environment over the past 190,000 years. Anticipated outcomes include refined knowledge of human evolution and interaction in island Southeast Asia, and innovative experimental methods for the study of stone tools. This will emphasise Australia's role in international human evolution research, and inform the study of comparable stone tools in Australia.
