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.
Associate Professor of Human Evolutionary Biology and Earth and Planetary Sciences
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.
My research broadly examines what is unique about the human gut microbiome and how human-specific behaviors, such as running and food processing, restructure our microbial communities and, further, how this restructuring feeds back into host phenotype and...

Ruth Moore Professor of Biological Anthropology, Emeritus
I am interested in animal behavioral ecology and how it can help us understand the evolution of human social and political behavior. Since 1987 I have studied chimpanzee behavior in Kibale National Park, Uganda (Kibale Chimpanzee Project, https:/...
