Updated August 2014

In July, Drs. Leslie Aiello (Wenner Gren Foundation), Richard Potts (Smithsonian Institution) and I published Evolution of Early Homo: An integrated biological perspective in Science. The paper can be found in Science 4 July 2014: 1236828 [DOI:10.1126/science.1236828]. The paper builds on our collaborative work as well as my work with Meave Leakey's Koobi Fora Research Project http://www.kfrp.com/ In April, Josh Snodgrass (U. Oregon), Felicia Madimenos (CUNY), Emily Middleton (NYU) and I co-chaired an invited symposium in Calgary on the work of the “Bones and Behavior" group. A synopsis of the work done by the ‘Bones and Behavior Working Group’ and the protocols can be found at http://www.bonesandbehavior.org/. The symposium was part of the annual meetings of The American Association of Physical Anthropologists, for which I am President-Elect. For more information see http://www.physanth.org The AAPA Committee on Diversity, which I co-chair with Agustin Fuentes, is having an active year of programming and grant writing. Information about C.O.D. is available at http://www.physanth.org/association/the-committee-on-diversity Members of the ninth class of the MA program, which I direct, graduated in the spring and summer of 2014. Six new students join the program in the Fall of 2014. See the program website at http://www.nyu.edu/gsas/dept/anthro/programs/biology/index.html for more details about the program.
