Amelie Vialet

Amelie Vialet is currently Maitre de conferences at the Museum National d'Histoire Naturelle. Her topics are: human evolution in Eurasia from the Lower Pleistocene (morphometry of the skull, face and mandible) with a focus on the first Hominins outside Africa (Yunxian, Nanjing in China, Kocabas in Turkey) and on the roots of the Neandertal lineage in Europe during the Middle Pleistocene (Arago, Atapuerca, Montmaurin…). She works with 3D imaging techniques to analyse the inner bone and dental structures and to restore the damaged fossils. She is interested in the History of Prehistory (Epistemology) based on archives.
