Jean-Jacques Hublin

What Dominique Pagani says

Dominique Pagani mentions Jean-Jacques Hublin mainly in the session "Les apories de l'anthropologie" (2022), where he presents him as the palaeoanthropologist who, with Ben-Ncer, is resuming the excavations at Jebel Irhoud1. He regards him as a specialist in hominids and recommends his lectures available on YouTube2. Above all, he retains Hublin's thesis that no boundary separates the human from the non-human, and considers that on this point he proves a better philosopher than many philosophers3. He also takes from Hublin the idea that we are still undergoing hominisation4, as well as his remark on the singular length of the relationship between parents and children in the human species5. In 2025, in "Flagrandélices", he returns to him, presenting him as a palaeoanthropologist at the Collège de France and restating the same idea: the movement that brought forth sapiens is not over6. From one session to the next, he thus draws on him to think of hominisation as an unfinished process.
