Anthropology Projects
Department of Anthropology projects explore hominin evolution, paleoenvironment, and paleoecology.
The Department of Anthropology actively undertakes multiple projects related to hominin evolution, paleoenvironment and paleoecology. Most of these projects are based on materials uncovered in Ethiopia by the Dikika Research Project (DRP). Current projects include:
- Comparative and metric approaches to ontogeny in early hominins
- CT analysis of Australopithecus afarensis remains and early hominin evolution
- Early hominin pelvis and locomotion and in Australopithecus afarensis
- Variation and dimorphism in early hominin crania
- Synthesis of early hominin paleoenvironment and paleoecology
- Comparative study of cercopithecids and implication for hominin evolution
