ESHE Meeting 2026
The society promotes research into human biological and cultural evolution, by stimulating communication and cooperation between scientists and raising public awareness and understanding. We host an annual meeting open to registered participants, and we publish the proceedings of these meetings as a series.
The ESHE 2026 meeting will take place in Burgos, Spain, from September 17-19th. A call for papers will happen roughly March of 2026.Participants
ESHE, the European Society for the study of Human Evolution, promotes the broad field of research which investigates how humans evolved both biologically and culturally. Contributing disciplines typically include hominin palaeontology and palaeogenetics; comparative and functional studies of extant primates, using both morphological and molecular evidence; palaeolithic archaeology; and applied studies of stable isotopes, dating, taphonomy, palaeoecology and palaeogeography.
ESHE aims to stimulate communication and scientific cooperation between scientists, and to improve public understanding of human evolution. Core activities of the society will be:
1. to organize yearly meetings, with a scientific programme, as well as a public-outreach event,
2. to encourage and help develop international and interdisciplinary research proposals and projects, and
3. to initiate and support activities which increase the public and political visibility of human evolution studies.
