Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Paleontology
  • Genus
  • Ecology

His primary areas of investigation include Homo antecessor, Paleontology, Pleistocene, Homo heidelbergensis and Cave. His Homo antecessor study incorporates themes from Evolutionary biology, Human evolution, Steppe and Period. He does research in Paleontology, focusing on Early Pleistocene specifically.

J.M. Bermúdez de Castro has included themes like Range, Skeletal anatomy and Middle ear in his Pleistocene study. His Homo heidelbergensis research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Mediterranean climate and Morphometric analysis. His work carried out in the field of Cave brings together such families of science as Karst, Paleomagnetism and Chronology.

His most cited work include:

  • A Hominid from the Lower Pleistocene of Atapuerca, Spain: Possible Ancestor to Neandertals and Modern Humans (487 citations)
  • Lower Pleistocene hominids and artifacts from Atapuerca-TD6 (Spain) (402 citations)
  • Neandertal roots: Cranial and chronological evidence from Sima de los Huesos. (249 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

J.M. Bermúdez de Castro mostly deals with Pleistocene, Paleontology, Homo antecessor, Archaeology and Cave. His studies in Pleistocene integrate themes in fields like Tooth morphology, Range, Taphonomy and Radiometric dating. The Homo antecessor study combines topics in areas such as Evolutionary biology, Human evolution, Homo ergaster, Homo heidelbergensis and Neanderthal.

His work deals with themes such as Homo sapiens and Paleodontology, which intersect with Evolutionary biology. His Archaeology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Anterior dentition and Period. His Cave study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Karst and Mediterranean climate.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Pleistocene (63.64%)
  • Paleontology (49.09%)
  • Homo antecessor (40.00%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2013-2018)?

  • Pleistocene (63.64%)
  • Paleontology (49.09%)
  • Cave (27.27%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

His primary scientific interests are in Pleistocene, Paleontology, Cave, Homo antecessor and Sedimentary rock. His work carried out in the field of Pleistocene brings together such families of science as Mineralogy and Thermoluminescence dating. His Paleontology research focuses on Sediment and Early Pleistocene.

His Cave study results in a more complete grasp of Archaeology. His Homo antecessor research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Evolutionary biology, Medullary cavity, Anatomy and Homo heidelbergensis. His research in Evolutionary biology tackles topics such as Morphometric analysis which are related to areas like Sima.

Between 2013 and 2018, his most popular works were:

  • Neandertal roots: Cranial and chronological evidence from Sima de los Huesos. (249 citations)
  • Pleistocene sedimentary facies of the Gran Dolina archaeo-paleoanthropological site (Sierra de Atapuerca, Burgos, Spain) (34 citations)
  • Level TE9c of Sima del Elefante (Sierra de Atapuerca, Spain): A comprehensive approach (21 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Paleontology
  • Ecology
  • Genus

His scientific interests lie mostly in Pleistocene, Early Pleistocene, Sima, Excavation and Sediment. His study in Pleistocene focuses on Homo antecessor and Homo heidelbergensis. His Early Pleistocene study incorporates themes from Ecology, Habitat, Cave and Peninsula.

J.M. Bermúdez de Castro combines subjects such as Evolutionary biology, Assemblage, Skull and Mediterranean climate with his study of Sima. His Excavation study is associated with Paleontology.
