Work in my laboratory is focused upon the analysis of paleontological evidence for primate and human evolution, particularly over the past 15 million years of earth history. Of particular interest is the time period between 15-5 mya, the temporal framework within which humans and African apes diverged. I am currently involved in several multidisciplinary paleoanthropological field projects in both South Africa and the Amerian West. Our previous fieldwork in Namibia discovered the first Miocene hominoid ever found in sub-equatorial Africa and one of the most extensive middle Miocene faunas from Africa. I am currently interested in applying GIS techniques to paleoanthropological exploration. I am the Coursemaster of the Human Anatomy & Development course for first year medical students (and Anthropology Ph.D. candidates) at Washington University Medical School and also co-teach a course on Principles of Human Anatomy & Development to upper level Washington University undergraduates.
