Habiba Chirchir A Story of Us Podcast Interview

In this episode, Dr. Habiba Chirchir, a biological anthropologist, discusses her research on skeletal anatomy and behavior and its implications for understanding human evolution. She explores what it means for the human skeleton to be more ‘gracile,’ drawing comparisons between the domestication of domestic dogs and wolves, the challenges of interpreting skeletal changes, and the importance of collaboration and mentorship in her work.
Dr. Chirchir is looking to grow her team! If you're interested in joining, reach out at chirchir.4@osu.edu or visit The Skeletal Anatomy Lab website to learn more.
