• Research spans behavioral variability in Homo sapiens and earlier hominins
• Specializes in geometric morphometrics and experimental archaeology
• Fieldwork experience in Spain, Kenya, and the UK

His work examines how seasonality and climate change shaped technological adaptations, and uses these tools to trace population history and dispersal. James is affiliated with the Computational and Digital Archaeology Laboratory and Glyn Daniel Laboratory at Cambridge.
