Research Interests
In
broad terms, my research focuses on aspects of non-human
primate, hominin, and modern human dental remains that can
reveal information about life history and populations
affinities. My work on enamel hypoplasia, a sensitive
biological marker of physiological stress occurring during
the period of tooth crown formation, is helping to reveal
the frequency and duration of metabolic disruption during
the juvenile years of primate and early hominin lives. My
work on dental morphology centers on using features of
dental morphology to answer questions about population
affinities.
