Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Paleontology
  • Ecology
  • Archaeology

Juan Luis Arsuaga spends much of his time researching Pleistocene, Paleontology, Homo antecessor, Evolutionary biology and Homo heidelbergensis. His Pleistocene research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Postcrania, Hominidae and Sima. His Paleontology research includes elements of Human evolution and Clade.

His research in Homo antecessor intersects with topics in Genetic algorithm and Cave. His research in Evolutionary biology tackles topics such as Morphology which are related to areas like Morphometrics and Premolar. His biological study deals with issues like Neanderthal, which deal with fields such as Homo sapiens.

His most cited work include:

  • Genome-wide patterns of selection in 230 ancient Eurasians (693 citations)
  • Complete mitochondrial genome sequence of a Middle Pleistocene cave bear reconstructed from ultrashort DNA fragments (690 citations)
  • Complete mitochondrial genome sequence of a Middle Pleistocene cave bear reconstructed from ultrashort DNA fragments (690 citations)

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

His main research concerns Pleistocene, Paleontology, Archaeology, Sima and Evolutionary biology. His studies in Pleistocene integrate themes in fields like Human evolution, Neanderthal and Cave. His work in Paleontology addresses issues such as Hominidae, which are connected to fields such as Zoology.

He regularly links together related areas like Anatomy in his Sima studies. As part of his studies on Evolutionary biology, Juan Luis Arsuaga often connects relevant subjects like Homo sapiens. His Homo antecessor research is classified as research in Early Pleistocene.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Pleistocene (53.21%)
  • Paleontology (40.37%)
  • Archaeology (32.09%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • Pleistocene (53.21%)
  • Archaeology (32.09%)
  • Evolutionary biology (21.93%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Pleistocene, Archaeology, Evolutionary biology, Paleontology and Neanderthal. His Pleistocene study combines topics in areas such as Crania, Anatomy, Enamel paint, Sima and Human evolution. His work on Cave, Peninsula, Bronze Age and Chalcolithic as part of general Archaeology study is frequently linked to Context, bridging the gap between disciplines.

He has included themes like Organic matter and Radiocarbon dating in his Cave study. His Evolutionary biology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Homo sapiens, Clade, Homo heidelbergensis and Homo antecessor. The Neanderthal study combines topics in areas such as Mousterian, Homo erectus, Hominidae, Denisovan and Rock shelter.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • The earliest modern humans outside Africa (173 citations)
  • New Middle Pleistocene hominin cranium from Gruta da Aroeira (Portugal) (43 citations)
  • New Middle Pleistocene hominin cranium from Gruta da Aroeira (Portugal) (43 citations)

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

  • Paleontology
  • Ecology
  • Archaeology

His scientific interests lie mostly in Pleistocene, Paleontology, Archaeology, Sima and Anatomy. His studies deal with areas such as Period, Sedimentary rock, Homo sapiens, Human evolution and Optical dating as well as Pleistocene. His Paleontology research incorporates themes from Crania and Neanderthal.

In his study, Ancient DNA is strongly linked to Hominidae, which falls under the umbrella field of Crania. His Sima research incorporates elements of Broca's area, Anterior dentition, Fossil Record, Adaptation and Endocast. His research investigates the connection between Early Pleistocene and topics such as Homo habilis that intersect with problems in Evolutionary biology.
