The Homo genus is not what it used to be - With François Marchal, CNRS researcher at the ADES UMR 7268 laboratory (CNRS, AMU, EFS), palaeoanthropologist

Did you know that palaeoanthropologists no longer know how to define the genus Homo?

While more than fifty years of research have advanced our knowledge enormously, they have also profoundly altered our vision of this genus of ours, to the point where they no longer know, biologically, who and what we are. This conference will offer an insight into this ongoing revolution.
