Bring back to life the lost worlds that made us
Our research focuses on fossil ecosystems that hosted the evolution of primates for more than 50 million years.
We therefore track down the ancient and complex interactions between climate, geology, vegetation, and vertebrates. We, human primates, arose from these interactions.
