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...

I am a Palaeolithic Archaeologist (DPhil Oxford), and my research focuses on the coevolution of technology, biology, and cognition. Specifically, I study how technology has shaped humans’ bodies and minds over evolutionary timescales – how the things we...

Éadaoin is a population geneticist at 23andMe, where her research focuses on searching for genetic connections between historical and living people using ancient DNA. She completed her PhD in 2020 as part of Harvard’s Department of Organismic and...

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...
