Lecturer in Human Evolutionary Biology
B Alex
I'm a paleoanthropologist, science writer, and educator. Over the years, I've taught undergraduate and graduate courses in human evolutionary biology, anthropology, archaeology, and science communication. My pop-science stories have appeared in outlets including DiscoverScience, Smithsonian, Atlas Obscura, and Audubon. I earned my PhD in 2016 from Harvard in Anthropological Archaeology & Human Evolutionary Biology. My research focused on understanding the processes by which Homo sapiens spread globally as other human groups, like Neanderthals, went extinct over the past 200,000 years. With methodological expertise in radiocarbon dating and geochemical analyses, I conducted fieldwork in the Balkans, Eastern Europe, and the Levant.
