Lindell Bromham

Lindell Bromham is a Professor at the Research School of Biology, Australian National University, focusing on evolutionary biology, cultural evolution, and interdisciplinary research. Their work spans genomic mutation rates to global linguistic diversity, with notable projects on language endangerment and Galton’s problem in cross-cultural studies.

• Broad research themes: evolutionary biology, cultural evolution, macroecology, linguistics
• Key contributions: interdisciplinary funding disparities, language evolution models, parasite-culture interactions

Recent articles emphasize language endangerment risk factors, methodological innovations in cross-cultural analysis, and population size effects on language evolution. Awards include Eureka Prize Finalist (2021) and media recognition in Nature and New Scientist. Supervises students in evolutionary and linguistic research.
