Andrea Bamberg Migliano is a Professor of Evolutionary Anthropology at the University of Zurich. She works on comparative behaviour of hunter-gatherer populations, with ongoing fieldwork in the Philippines, Congo and Nepal. She uses behavioural ecology, network analyses and experimental psychology to understand how diversity in the hunter-gatherer foraging niche has shaped human-specific adaptations such as complex sociality, cumulative culture and pro-sociality. Professor Migliano received her PhD in Evolutionary Anthropology from the University of Cambridge in 2007. Following her PhD, she held a Junior Research Fellowship at Clare College, Cambridge, followed by an Associate Professorship at University College London. Since moving to Zurich in 2018, Professor Migliano has started the Hunter-Gatherers Evolutionary Ecology Group expanding the comparative fieldwork approach to Indonesia and the Amazon.
