Project

Simulation of the distribution of large herbivores according to paleoclimatic reconstructions during MIS 3 and comparison with hominin population distributions
This PhD project aims to establish a dynamic model of the distribution of prehistoric populations and the large herbivores that constituted their main food source during the last Glacial in Western Europe. The objective is to study the behavior of the main species of prey on which humans depended, ie the large herbivores that were inhabiting the European continent. Through agent-based models the objective focuses on interactions (prey / predators) and their impact on the organization and mobility of human populations.
