What is ORCEpluSZ

ORCEpluSZ is a research project led by the University of Granada. Its main challenge is to reconstruct the environment in which humans lived millions of years ago. A multidisciplinary and international team of research centres is participating in the project, made up of researchers from the fields of archaeology, palaeontology and geology.

Born in Malaga, I was a professional clarinetist for 13 years. Meanwhile, I studied History at the University of Malaga and from the beginning I was passionate about Prehistory and more specifically Human Evolution. That led me to take courses in Biology. As a result of this contact, in 2000, I participated in an excavation campaign in Orce, which opened the doors of the UGR to me.
