Heather F. Smith
Summary
I am an anatomist and physical anthropologist specializing in 3D cranial morphology of humans and nonhuman primates. My primary research focus is the relationship between cranial characteristics and phylogeny, with the goal of using the patterns observed in living species to interpret the hominin fossil record and draw inferences about human evolution. I answer questions relating to ontogeny, gene flow, and migration in human populations based on morphological patterns of the skull.
