Brief Biographical Sketch:
I am a PhD candidate in the Yale Anthropology department (which means that I have passed all the exams I ever want to take). I study Paleoanthropology (human evolution) and archaeology, especially how humans adapt to changing resources during environmental change. I am also interested in hiking, traveling, tattoos, baking, gaming, and taking a million photos of my cats. Past Classes(Clicking a class title will bring you to the course's section of the corresponding course catalog)S4843: Human Evolution in Splash Spring 2024 (Apr. 06, 2024)
How different are we from Neanderthals? How many different hominin ancestors were there, and what did they look like? Are we still evolving, as a species? In this class, we will discuss the evolution of our lineage, characterize changes in body shape and features through time, and consider the implications for who we are today. This class includes a lab component, and students will be asked to observe casts of bones (esp. skulls) of various hominins, including humans.
