Welcome to the BIEA Graduate Attachment Scheme & Undergraduate Volunteer Programme Cohorts Completion Seminar, presenting: Settlement Patterns and Behavioural Adaptation: Case study of Gede Ruins National Monuments by Mary Macharia,

28/08/2025

✨At the beginning of August 2025, the British Institute in Eastern Africa hosted a lecture by Dr Laura Basell, University of Leicester, titled “Reimagining Origins: Storytelling, Indigenous Knowledge, and the Future of Human Evolution Narratives.” In this she discussed fieldwork she has led with many collaborators in Eastern Africa over the last 25 years, how this fits into our current understandings of the evolution of our species Homo sapiens. She also discussed some of the issues this has raised concerning both student and community interest in the topic, and issues raised during informal discussions on site.

🧾The lecture was followed by a lively workshop exploring the intersections of art and science, indigenous origin stories, and other narratives connected to landscapes and identity. Together, participants reflected on what makes a compelling story and began developing ideas for how the story of human evolution might be told in a more inclusive, community-driven way. We discussed how we can work together using different methods to foster deeper understanding and appreciation of stone age and encourage the protection of globally important sites. We look forward to building on these conversations through future collaborations.
Laura would like to extend her sincere thanks to everyone who participated, to the BIEA for hosting and their excellent technical support, and to the British Academy who funded the event via Laura’s mid-career fellowship📑
