ANU archaeologist awarded top honour for life’s work
An Emeritus Professor at The Australian National University (ANU) whose work has changed the way we think about early human life has been honoured with a prestigious science prize.
Archaeologist Peter Bellwood’s research explored how farming spread around the globe, the formation of Polynesian culture and human adaptation to island environments.
In winning the 2021 International Cosmos Prize he joins an illustrious group of recipients which includes Sir David Attenborough and Dr Jane Goodall.
Emeritus Professor Bellwood says he’s humbled by the honour.
“My goal has always been to expose others to the remarkable achievements of our ancestors, so that those achievements can still inspire us today,” he said.
