I received my B.A. from Colorado College (1980) and a Ph.D. from Duke University (1986), and worked on the faculty at Rice University and UCLA before taking my current post at Washington University in 1991. My primary research interests are on the early Tertiary of Africa, the Eocene of North America, prosimian biology, anthropoid origins, and some other topics in mammalian and avian evolution. Field work is very important to my work, both as a pleasurable activity and as a key to scientific discovery. Courses I regularly teach include Primate Biology, Primate Evolution, Human Osteology, and a variety of graduate seminars. I currently serve as Graduate Coordinator in the Department of Anthropology.
