Evolution & Anatomy

Sofia is a first year PhD student in the Pan lab, where she studies the social behavior of wild bonobos. She holds a Bachelor's degree in Evolutionary Biology from Columbia University, and a Master of Arts in Teaching degree from New York University. 

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'm interested in how brains evolve. Our lab uses canines to study breed-specific behaviors. We also use existing non-human primate data to investigate neuroanatomical differences that might contribute to cognitive/behavioral differences between species.
