Studying industrialisation’s impact on human biology to understand our species’ evolution and health
Is our nature-adapted biology mismatched against our industrialised planet?
The Human Evolutionary EcoPhysiology Research Group uses evolutionary theory and the natural experiment of mass, global urban migration to assess how humans adapt to novel environments both past and present and how living in 21st-century cities affects our health.
Rooted in human evolutionary theory, we conduct experimental research that assesses how natural and industrial environments influence human biological function and health.
