A research fellow at Darwin College, Cambridge, Iain Morley has investigated the evolutionary origins and archaeology of music as part of a larger research agenda that involves an ongoing study of the development of modern human cognitive capacities and behaviors. He holds a Wenner-Gren Foundation Hunt Post-Doctoral Fellowship and is a fellow of Cambridge University’s McDonald Institute for Archaeological Research. A first-class honors graduate of Stirling University, Dr. Morley earned a master’s degree, with distinction, in cognitive evolution at the University of Reading and received his Ph.D. in archaeology from Cambridge in 2004. He held a John Templeton Foundation research fellowship while working as a co-investigator with Colin (Lord) Renfrew on a Templeton-funded project exploring the global prehistory of behaviors fundamental to ritual and religion. As a field archaeologist, he has worked in Libya, Moravia (Czech Republic), and Croatia, as well as his native Britain. In addition to publishing more than a dozen papers as articles in scholarly journals or chapters in volumes of collected works, he is the co-editor (with Colin Renfrew) of three books, Image and Imagination: A Global Prehistory of Figurative Representation, which was published by the McDonald Institute in 2007, Becoming Human: Innovation in Prehistoric Material and Spiritual Culture, which will be published later this year by Cambridge University Press (CUP), and Measuring the World and Beyond: The Genesis of Quantification and Cosmology, which CUP will publish next year. His Evolutionary Origins and Archaeology of Music will be published in 2009 by Oxford University Press.
