Frank Huffman

Frank Huffman's decade-long geoarchaeological project focuses on the paleogeography and paleoenvironment of Southeast Asia during Homo erectus occupation. The fossil calvaria found in 1936 near Perning, East Java, and known as the Mojokerto child‚s skull provides evidence for the presence of seacoast human populations in Southeast Asia during the Plio-Pleistocene, according to the results of the project. This raises interest in the role that maritime coastal adaptations might have played in the paleoecology, dispersal and evolution of early hominins.
