Professor at the University of Vienna, Tom is into dating (of the ancient variety), archaeological sites, bones, and Neanderthals. Author of 'The World Before Us' he tells the Hipstorians about his fascinating work and how some archeologists 'dig' (excuse the pun!) being viewed as Indiana Jones-like adventurers.

From making historically significant discoveries during his early university studies, Tom went on to work at the Denisova Cave in Siberia, the first place a new species of humans was found – Denisovans
