Speaker: Dr. Robert Shave, School of Health & Exercise Sciences, University of British Columbia
Outline: Cardiac structural and functional remodeling in response to athletic training is a well-described phenomenon in human athletes. Using auscultation, percussion and palpation physicians as early as the 1890s demonstrated increased cardiac dimensions and athletic bradycardia. Subsequently, imaging technologies have enabled the detailed characterization of the human athlete’s heart. However, few of these studies consider the evolutionary...

HEB Professor Terry Capellini will deliver a special lecture that will discuss how evolution targeted our prenatal development to shape our skeletons and why we get specific skeletal diseases.
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... Read more about Aidan Murphy

The basic question I ask — why does the human body look and function the way it does— requires an evolutionary perspective because nothing in biology makes... Read more about Daniel E Lieberman
For my research, I take an interdisciplinary approach to studying how phenotypes change in response to environmental constraints and how these changes give rise to complex social and biological identities within hominid species.... Read more about William Eamon Callison
