An EconoTimes perspective

Robyn Pickering

Lecturer, University of Cape Town

Lecturer, University of Cape Town Robyn is an isotope geochemist with leanings towards palaeoanthropology and archaeology. Her research seeks to understand where and most importantly when our early human ancestors evolved and what their environments were like. She has spent the last decade developing the U-series technique to date carbonates associated with early human fossils. Which her friends like to tease her means she basically dates cavemen.
