https://www.pbs.org/wnet/nature/newsletter/ Ella Al-Shamahi grew up
a creationist, but her perspective shifted when she studied
evolution at university. Today, she’s a paleoanthropologist who
hunts fossils in unstable territories to uncover the overlooked
stories of human evolution. Ella is a fierce advocate for
conducting research in places where people don’t usually do
science, and she believes these under-researched places are the
frontier of scientific discovery. Through her archeological
pursuits, Ella is not only working to eliminate the blind spot of
Western science, but she’s also shedding light on the least
understood people and places on Earth. She envisions a world where
“conflict zones” aren’t just seen as war-torn landscapes, but as
places where life continues and discoveries are possible.
