Our lab supports nutritional analyses of foods eaten by humans (Hadza, Ju-Hoansi), great apes (chimpanzees, orangutans, gorillas), and monkeys (pitheciids, snub-nosed monkeys, capuchins).

Current graduate student research includes physiological and experimental studies of the significance of cooking.
