This research group carries out an autoecologic research focused on the study of the human being as a very special species within its environment. The focus of study is the different aspects related to the study of the physical biologic parameters of hominins, their nutritional and metabolic requirements and their subsistence behaviours when selecting and supplying food resources energetically profitable that they would obtain in their landscapes and immediate ecosystems.
This group has a close relation with the area of Paleoecology, what allows an integral approach to the animal, vegetal and human ecosystems. Besides, the study of demography, socio-biology and ways of living of the human groups is defined departing from the models of biologic history that the Paleobiology Program develops.
