Research Interests
In my research, I use teeth to answer questions
about life history profiles, growth, and biological relationships in
primates and fossil hominins. Teeth present an ideal source of
information about these questions for several reasons. First, teeth
preserve a record of their growth in their hard tissues. Second,
tooth growth reflects the overall growth of the organisms of which
teeth were a part during life. Third, teeth themselves are the most
often preserved skeletal elements in fossil and archaeological
assemblages. Some publications representing these interests are
listed below (please see my CV for a complete publication list). I
have worked on such questions in non-human primates, Plio-Pleistocene
hominins, Neandertals, and modern humans. I am also interested in a
variety of other subjects including dental sexual dimorphism,
fluctuating asymmetry, and dental morphology.
