Research Group on Human Evolution and Adaptations during the Prehistory

EvoAdapta is a research group based at the University of Cantabria devoted to unravelling Prehistory, from a multidisciplinary perspective.

In the last decade, the group has attracted an ERC Consolidator Grant (currently ongoing), five Marie Skłodowska-Curie fellows (CIG, IF, GF), seven Juan de la Cierva, Margarita Salas, Fyssen and Leakey Foundation-funded postdoctoral researchers, as well as four projects of the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation, together with other private funding agencies.

EvoAdapta has extensive facilities

EvoAdapta holds various reference collections – in continuous expansion – dedicated to the study of plants, animals (mammals, birds, molluscs) and human populations.


We have a clean laboratory where we undertake different protocols for the analysis of organic and inorganic materials. A microscopy room and photogrammetry area are also available.
