Thomas Davies was both an undergraduate and graduate student at Queens' College, University of Cambridge. He completed his BA in Archaeology and Anthropology in 2008, and is currently finishing his PhD thesis in Biological Anthropology. His research focuses upon human skeletal adaptation and the interpretation of behaviour from skeletal remains. His PhD thesis developed a new method and approach with which to examine skeletal variation in the limbs and was applied to the study of mobility across diverse hunter-gatherer and agricultural populations. His postdoctoral work focuses upon the study of adaptation and variation among prehistoric Upper Palaeolithic humans in order to develop our understanding of the stress, culture and biology of these early colonizing individuals.
