Jacopo Niccolò Cerasoni earned his PhD in 2022 from the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Human History (now the Max Planck Institute of Geoanthropology) and Eberhard Karls Universitat Tübingen, with a focus on the archaeology of western Africa and scientific imaging. He is a Chicago-based paleoscientist, Registered Professional Archaeologist (RPA), and scientific illustrator. His broader work moves across archaeology, geology, evolutionary biology, and cartography to explore the deep time interplay between culture, ecology, and the Earth's biological past.
