We are dedicated to providing quality training and research opportunities in anthropology for undergraduate students. Our research focuses on understanding evolutionary processes such as genetic drift and speciation, as well as the conservation of primates, particularly in West Africa. To address these issues, we use evidence from primate behavior, ecology, morphology, physiology and genetics. In the lab we also process forensic anthropology cases to assist local law enforcement agencies.

Current Research and Work:
Genetic drift in island monkey populations
Social behavior in primate all-male groups
Morphological variation in Old World monkeys
Conservation of critically endangered primates
Forensic anthropology
