The Role of Culture in Early Expansions of Humans (ROCEEH)

The Project

Human evolution is understood as a process of cultural expansions that began over three million years ago with the manufacture of stone tools. This innovation enabled expanded and modular tool use and established a cultural realm characterized by more intense social and material interactions, environmental relationships, and a growing need for meaning. This development unfolds through interconnected forms of expansion: the widening of cultural performances and the expansion of the resource base. New technologies unlock additional resources but simultaneously generate new needs and interactions between humans and the environment, thereby creating a complex network of cultural forms of expression.

The research project examines these processes from a systemic perspective, covering the period from three million to 20,000 years ago in Africa and Eurasia. It is based on the multidisciplinary ROAD database—featuring GIS capabilities—which integrates archaeological, fossil, and environmental data. The findings are consolidated into a digital atlas of human-environment evolution and analyzed through an interdisciplinary approach.

The ROCEEH Project

Human evolution is a story of cultural developments and expansions. More than three million years ago, early humans began producing stone tools with cutting edges, thereby extending the scope of tool use observed in animals. One consequence of this milestone was the adoption of a new functionality—tools for making tools—which fostered the modular use of multiple implements. Three interacting factors created a cultural realm that forms the basis of how we engage with the world today: the intensification and differentiation of material and social engagement, the interaction with the environment, and the heightened need to find meaning.

The history of human cultural development unfolds through three interdependent forms of expansion. The first two comprise the expansion of cultural performances—expressed in the intertwined transformation of body, mind, and behavior—and the associated expansion of the resource space. For instance, while the use of a tool opens up access to new resources, this new performance simultaneously creates new needs, possibilities, and limitations for both humans and their environment. The network of relationships and interactions with environmental factors (whether conspecifics, raw materials, artifacts, or other agents) has expanded enormously over the course of human evolution, resulting in a vast array of cultural expressions across a wide spectrum of environments.

The project aims to develop a systemic understanding of human evolution that explores various forms of expansion and integrates the interactions between them. It spans the period from three million to 20,000 years ago and covers the entire geographical area of Africa and Eurasia. Particular emphasis is placed on the development of human capacities for cultural action, as well as the underlying factors and actual manifestations of these capacities.The core of the project is ROAD(ROCEEH Out of Africa Database), a multidisciplinary, web-based database featuring GIS capabilities. ROAD integrates geographical data on sites with information regarding the stratigraphic classification of archaeological layers and the archaeology itself. Furthermore, data on the human fossil record, as well as on climate, vegetation, and fauna, are collected to model past environments. In addition to literature reviews, the database is populated with data derived from collection-based research, archaeological excavations, and environmental-historical fieldwork conducted in Africa, Asia, and Europe. The findings are incorporated into a digital atlas of human-environment evolution based on Geographic Information Systems (GIS).

This research unit, which has been active since 2008 and is scheduled to run for 20 years, is an interdisciplinary project situated at the intersection of the cultural and natural sciences. Its wide-ranging international research activities are conducted collaboratively by a team of researchers from the fields of archaeology, paleoanthropology, paleobiology, and geography—alongside database specialists—across two sites: the Senckenberg Research Institute in Frankfurt am Main and the University of Tübingen.

ROCEEH discovers, contextualizes, and preserves humanity's cultural heritage. The research unit investigates human history during the aforementioned period by developing cultural concepts that enable the study of how human culture evolved. ROCEEH addresses questions concerning what we understand by "becoming human." This approach is highlighted through fieldwork at relevant sites aimed at documenting the distinctive patterns of early cultural change. ROCEEH makes the past of our cultural heritage accessible by compiling data on archaeological sites and their associated fossil assemblages. These systematically collected data are archived in the ROCEEH Out of Africa Database (ROAD), providing a systematic overview of archaeological sites, including details on their geography, dating, stratigraphy, cultural remains, paleoanthropology, paleoecology, and bibliography.

Transition from Neanderthals to modern humans

One focal point of ROCEEH is to study the changes in human behavior that occurred during the time that modern humans first expanded out of Africa and encountered Neanderthals in Eurasia. Several research projects cover this pivotal time, as technological behaviors which dominated for almost two hundred thousand years were broadly replaced by new ways of doing things that were associated with the arrival of modern humans. Not only do we observe dramatic changes in stone tools, we also see new types of behaviors. These expansions of hominin performances show an increased use of new materials—especially ivory, antler, bone and shell—to make organic tools such as points and needles as well as symbolic artifacts related to the expansion of art and music. A key region for studying the transition from late Neanderthals to early anatomically modern humans is the Swabian Jura in southwestern Germany with its famous cave sites, six of which were assigned UNESCO World Cultural Heritage status in 2017.

The search for symbolic behavior

ROCEEH explores the expansion of cultural capacities associated with the origin of symbolic behavior, including expressions of art and music. Many of its own research projects provide evidence for cognitive complexity in early modern humans, for example, through carved figurines, flutes and personal ornaments made of worked ivory, antler and bone from the Swabian Jura of Germany and perforated shells from the Levant and Caucasus. These artifacts give us ideas about how the makers of these innovative objects viewed personal and group identity.

Environmental studies and landscape reconstruction

Many of ROCEEH’s research projects delve into the relationship between humans and their environment. Some of these projects examine how early humans explored their habitats and found different natural resources to sustain themselves. Other projects study the effects that changing climate had on the environment to help reconstruct the interaction between the lifeways and habitats of these people. Using an integrated approach, we address many aspects of past landscapes including paleofauna, paleovegetation and geomorphology. We investigate these aspects applying methods such as faunal analysis, palynology, non-invasive geophysical techniques, GIS and remote sensing.

Modeling and quantitative analyses

With ROAD as one of the most comprehensive databases on prehistory, ROCEEH has developed expertise in a range of modeling and simulation methods. These include classical statistical approaches, data mining and machine learning techniques, as well as spatial, temporal, and agent-based modeling. Such methods make it possible to adequately describe and discover the dynamics and flexibility of early human behavior and environments.

The ROCEEH Out of Africa Database

ROAD-WEB

ROAD provides a synopsis of prehistoric sites and cultures, opening up the deep past of humankind to further exploration. ROAD allows its users to compare, combine, analyze and visualize information about archaeological and paleoanthropological sites.

The volume of data published about human evolution and allied scientific disciplines has increased exponentially during the past 25 years. To make this information more accessible, ROCEEH developed a database called “ROAD” and created applications for its use. ROAD facilitates the study of human evolution by synthesizing evidence gathered mainly from published information from African and Eurasian sites dated between three million and 20,000 years ago.

ROAD Content

ROAD is a web-based relational database combining archaeological, paleoanthropological, paleontological, paleobotanical, geographical and bibliographical information in a logical and well-structured manner.

Localities and assemblages: Includes spatial information about localities (sites) and details about the assemblages (collections of finds) they contain. The assemblages may stem from archaeological, paleoanthropological, paleontological and paleobotanical investigations.

Layers, profiles and dating information: Combines stratigraphic information and age determinations of geological layers and profiles, archaeological layers and profiles, and assemblages of different types of finds. This theme considers both absolute (radiometric) and relative dating methods to estimate the minimum and maximum age of each layer.

Hominin behavior: Comprises archaeological data about stone artifacts; tools made of organic materials such as bone, ivory or shell; symbolic artifacts such as art, musical instruments or ornaments; miscellaneous finds including ocher; and non-portable finds known as features.

Human remains: Records data on hominin fossils, anatomy, sex, and age of the individual. Varying taxonomies are collected in separate tables, a method which allows us to associate more than one taxonomic interpretation to hominin specimens and/or a group of human fossils.

Environment and ecology: Compiles data about the fauna and flora associated with cultural remains and hominin finds. Further information can be derived from these data, for instance, climate, vegetation, biomes and ecology.

Data sources: Cites bibliographic information linking publications to localities, layers, ages, and assemblages. Other references can be added, for example, the names and institutions of researchers who store data in ROAD which are not yet published.

2025

Workshop "Big Data and Human Evolution"
27-29 October, 2025, Bones Lab, Bologna University, Italy
organized by M.N. Haidle, A.W. Kandel, C. Sommer und J.B. Pedersen

The workshop Big Data and Human Evolution: Making, Using, and Conserving Data, organized jointly with BONES Lab in Ravenna, explored the theoretical and practical aspects of creating, managing, and preserving large-scale databases for human evolution research. Participants examined challenges in data integration, sustainability, and interdisciplinary collaboration, while engaging with emerging data-science methods such as data mining, machine learning, and artificial intelligence. Through hands-on training with the ROCEEH Out of Africa Database (ROAD), attendees applied data-management and analytical techniques to address research questions and fostered new collaborations across disciplines.

Symposium: Diversifying Networks. How Culture Infuses the Environment
8-10 October, 2025, Senckenberg Research Institute and Natural History Museum Frankfurt/Main
organized by ROCEEH

Hominins acted as exceptional shapers of their ecosystems over the course of evolution by expanding their use of resources through technological, social, and cultural innovations, transforming ecological niches, and creating new conditions for evolutionary processes both within their own species and for synanthropic species. The ROCEEH symposium aims to systematically investigate the interactions between cultural achievements and the environment in order to develop a diachronic understanding of the dynamic, diversifying networks that have shaped human evolution.

ROCEEH Conference 'Ritual in Human Evolution - Interdisciplinary Perspectives'
4-6 October, 2023, Tübingen
organized by R. Dapschauskas, S. Wolf, N.J. Conard, M.N. Haidle, and M. Keysan

Since the 19th century, the phenomenon of “ritual” has been studied from an interdisciplinary perspective, with cognitive science approaches in particular providing significant insights into its psychological foundations in recent decades. However, questions concerning its evolutionary origins, as well as the integration of Paleolithic archaeological evidence, have so far been insufficiently addressed. The conference therefore aims to consolidate the current state of research on the evolution of ritual through a deliberately interdisciplinary exchange and to develop new perspectives, particularly with regard to behavioral comparisons, archaeological evidence, and the relationship between ritual and Paleolithic art.

Program and abstracts

This status conference refected upon key cultural concepts from an interdisciplinary perspective with the aim of developing further perspectives for the project.
