Understanding Human Origins to Shape a Better Future
Join CARTA in our quest to understand the complexities of the human story, from biology to behavior and culture. By connecting different knowledge bases, we address the fundamental questions and practical concerns that impact our daily lives: Where did we come from? What is our best diet? How do environment and care impact children? What are the most effective interventions for health and disease? How do we minimize conflict in an increasingly global society?
