Focus

My current research is dealt with the relationships between endocranial surface and brain exocortical surface in humans, great apes, and macaca. I have just began to study the allometric trajectories between different parts of both, endocranial surface and brain exocortical surface, and the endocasts morphology. In the future, I would like to apply this results on some selected hominin fossils. This research is part of a cross-discipline project in the field of computer-assisted paleoanthropology, led by Prof. Dr. C. Zollikofer. In adittion, I am in charge of Nuestros Antepasados (Our Ancestors) space in the Centro para la Interpretación de la Prehistoria de Andalucía (Center for Interpretation of Andalusian Prehistory) (Antequera, Spain)

About me

I was born in Málaga (Spain). I was a professional clarinet player during thirteen years. Meanwhile, I was graduated in Historical Studies at University of Málaga (Spain) in 2000. After, I held a Spanish Ministry of Education Predoctoral Grant at Department of Prehistory and Archaeology (University of Granada). My Master degree (2002) was an analyses of discourse about the violent prejudices implicit in human evolution (Peace and Conflicts Research Institute, University of Granada). I obtained my Ph.D. degree in 2006 with a thesis entitled Estudio de la variabilidad craneométrica en homínidos y sus inferencias paleobiológicas y filogenéticas (An Study About Craneometric Variability in Hominids. Paleobiological and Phylogentic Inferences). My Ph. D. supervisors were Dr. G. Martínez-Fernández (University of Granada) and Dr. J.A. Pérez-Claros (University of Málaga). I am grateful them, and Dr. P. Palmqvist (University of Málaga), Dr. C.J. Cela-Conde (University of Islas Baleares), C. Lorenzo (Rovira i Virgilli University), Dr. C.P. Zollikofer and Dr. M.S. Ponce de León (University of Zürich) for their support
