Christina Warinner is Professor of Anthropology and Human Evolutionary Biology at Harvard University. She specializes in the analysis of ancient DNA and proteins, and her research focuses on the study of ancient biomolecules to better understand past...

Of late I have focused on the information in hydrogen and oxygen isotopes of animal and microbial systems.  In addition, examination of the dietary impacts at the compound specific level is a ongoing interest.

My research interests include human evolutionary genetics with a current focus on genetic and environmental factors underlying neurodevelopmental disorders.

I am an interdisciplinary social scientist studying cultural evolution, with a special interest in how culture shapes social structure, social psychology, and behavior. My recent research examines how social norms and social institutions sustain...

There are millions of sequence variants between humans and other species. The Song lab aims to identify and characterize the variants that contributed to human-specific traits, with a particular focus on the evolution of the human brain. We are also...

I am a biological anthropologist interested in developmental biology, human evolution, and health. My group’s research explores developmental influences on adult biology and health, the psychobiology of human fatherhood, non-genetic forms of biological...

Daniel studies the role of climate change in shaping evolutionary processes, with a particular emphasis on Africa and human origins. His research includes work on dental anatomy, stable isotope geochemistry, and proteomics. Daniel collaborates with the...

Kristin completed her PhD at the University of New Mexico, focused on chimpanzee social and hormonal development. She is interested in the origins of individual differences in social behavior, and has studied the biology of leadership in collaboration...

I am a terrestrial paleoecologist who explores the role of climate and environmental change on mammalian and human evolution. I do this using organic and stable isotope geochemistry on fossil teeth and ancient sediments on land and from the deep sea.
