Anatomy & Evolutionary Biology

ANATOMY & EVOLUTIONARY BIOLOGY

Research at WesternU in this field encompasses a diverse array of topics, including:  a) the growth and development of mammalian cranial anatomy through three-dimensional imaging and morphometric analyses; b) the biomechanics of primate locomotion and the evolution of bipedality in the human lineage; c) the factors influencing primate biodiversity. Additionally, by reconstructing animal evolutionary history, our scientists integrate insights from vertebrate paleontology and human anatomy to provide a comprehensive understanding of these interconnected areas.
