Thomas Larsen

Thomas Larsen is an Affiliated Scientist at the Max Planck Institute for Geoanthropology, working within the DAE Research Group (Domestication and Anthropogenic Evolution). He conducts research in Jena, Germany, with a focus on understanding human-driven evolutionary processes. His institutional affiliation is reflected in his role at this leading research organization.

Larsen's primary research explores anthropogenic evolution and domestication dynamics. He also investigates changing Arctic Ocean ecosystems through the LOMVIA project, examining environmental transformations and ecological impacts in polar regions. Key focus areas include:

• Human-influenced evolutionary mechanisms
• Domestication processes across species
• Arctic marine ecosystem responses to climate change
