PH.D. DISSERTATION:

The evolution of cranial diversity in hominins: the interactions between cranial and postcranial change

Bio:

Entered 2011

I am interested in the evolution of head and neck anatomy in mammals generally and in hominins and other primates specifically. In particular, I research how phenotypic integration (covariation) among traits evolves, and how those covariation relationships shape evolution. I am currently working on several projects that aim to address these questions.
