MARIO MODESTO-MATA is a paleoanthropologist combining data analysis with dental anthropology of the Atapuerca hominins – with a special interest in the species Homo antecessor – the pioneering hominids who were likely the first to colonise Western Europe.

Were these intriguing hominids the first to conquer Europe? Where can their fossils be found? Why are they associated with cannibalism? And is that really their 850,000-year-old footprints on a beach in England?

All this and more.
