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 sense except in the light of evolution.... 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
Eric studies the evolution of human anatomy and physiology to understand the competing selection pressures that have shaped our biology in the context of...
I study the evolution of human behavior and the physiological, social and ecological forces that shaped that behavior through time.... Read more about Neil Roach

Cellular mechanotransduction is the process by which cells receive incoming signals and translates those signals into functional outputs via biochemical...
Insulin signaling is a crucial regulator of epiphyseal fusion and the cessation of linear growth in adolescence. Using a combination of field and lab...
Among the adaptations that humans have evolved for bipedal running is the ability to effectively stabilize the head, which may be achieved in part by the...
Arm swing during walking and running plays an important role in balance and energy expenditure in humans. Over the course of human evolutionary history arms...
