Allowen Evin
Allowen EVIN works at the Institute of Evolutionary Sciences in Montpellier, France. She is a bioarchaeologist working at the interface of evolutionary biology and archaeology. She is a specialist in phenotypic evolution, interested in identifying and contrasting the different factors shaping morphological variation, mainly using classical and geometric morphometrics. She is particularly interested in the phenotypic changes that occurred during domestication and subsequent natural anthropic selection. She works mainly on dogs, pigs, sheep and goats, but also collaborates with archaeobotanists on barley and cherry. She is PI of an ERC Starting Grant project on ‘Eight millennia of changes in domestic plants and animals: understanding local adaptation under socio-economic and climatic fluctuations’ (2020-2025).
