UC Davis Paleoanthropologists work in Africa, Asia and Europe, and particularly focus on understanding modern human origins, Neandertals, early hominins, and human biological variation. They lead field work in Mongolia and South Africa, as well as participate in field projects in China, France and Morocco.
They also work on developing mathematical, computational and experimental approaches for analyzing archaeological and fossil data. Search site.

How to build a hominin: predictive simulations of locomotion in human evolution How did our ancestors walk?

In general, the older something is in geological terms , the greater the chance that the forces of nature have destroyed it. For this reason, most evidence from the prehistoric past has disappeared.
Paleoanthropologists actively search for traces of the past that have not disappeared, and they work to infer what happened by using these clues. There are three basic sciences that contribute the most data to paleoanthropology, archaeology, geology, and paleontology.
Archaeologists, geologists, and paleontologists work closely together in paleoanthropological research, each contributing vital information necessary to understand human origins and evolution. Before the invention of metal tools, human ancestors made and used stone tools. Archaeologists study these artifacts, and their contexts, in efforts to understand how human ancestors lived, behaved, and died in the past. Geology is the study of the earth.
Geologists study the processes that produce sedimentary deposits and contribute to studies of prehistoric environments.
