The Royal Anthropological Institute praised Prof Mirazón Lahr’s contribution to the field saying:

Marta Mirazón Lahr played a key role in shaping ideas around modern human dispersal out of Africa and the role of technological and cognitive development, and was the first to propose both a ‘southern route’ for humans out of Africa and multiple dispersals. Marta Mirazón Lahr has directed fieldwork projects in Island Melanesia, India, the Amazon, Sahara and most recently in Kenya. Her In Africa and Ng’ipalagem Projects sought to test models of human origins and diversification within Africa and involved archaeological and palaeontological investigations at multiple new sites in Northern Kenya. The excavations at Nataruk in Turkana, Kenya, published in Nature, demonstrated the existence of conflict among nomadic hunter-gatherer groups 10,000 years ago. Her collaborations with palaeogeneticists have resulted in important anthropological and archaeological interpretations relating to social structure in Upper Palaeolithic populations, dispersals in SE Asia, Europe and Australia, and the history of plague. 

Marta Mirazón Lahr represents the modern face of human evolutionary studies – strongly inter-disciplinary and integrating different aspects of the field. She is comfortable leading field projects around the worlds as well as working in the rapidly expanding field of evolutionary genomics. She combines fossil and archaeological approaches to bring together our biological and behavioural history; and she has worked both with living populations and those of the deep past to unravel process and pattern in how we became human.
