Neanderthal females migrated to avoid endogamy in family groups
Science is full of SHEroes whose passion, work and creativity inspired Evolutionary Biologists of today.
As part of our commitment with society, the Institute of Evolutionary Biology (IBE, CSIC-UPF) wants to give credit and visibility to the achievements of female scientists in evolution.
To that aim, we launched the campaign #WhoisyourSHEro to share stories of women who had an impact in our researchers' scientific career through our social media and website.
The campaign keeps on moving as more and more women in evolution are inspiring the IBE community.
You can join the conversation through social media under the hashtag #WhoisyourSHEro.
With the collaboration of the Spanish Foundation for Science and Technology - Ministry of Science and Innovation.

Neanderthal females migrated to avoid endogamy in family groups
The genetic analysis of 12 fossil samples from yaciment "El Sidron" (Asturias) endured by a research team coordinated by IBE researcher Carles Lalueza-Fox confirms the patrilocal behavious of Neanderthal groups. The work has been published today at Proceedings of the National Academy of Siencies.
