Catalan Institute of Human Palaeoecology and Social Evolution

Studying the evolution of human societies

Human palaeoecology is the study of human ecology over time. This way of looking at the subject enables us to track the development of human societies.

The Catalan Institute for Human Palaeoecology and Social Evolution (IPHES) was founded in 2005 as a cross-disciplinary advanced research and teaching institute that aimed to socialise knowledge from earth and life sciences, merging it with the social sciences.

Based on its research work, the IPHES contributes to postgraduate teaching. It organises a wide range of socialising activities, i.e. using different channels and mechanisms to bring the results of its research work back to society, so that people can benefit from them.
