I’m a paleoanthropologist, and I study the bones and genes of ancient humans. I’ve worked on almost every part of our evolutionary story, from the very origin of our lineage among the apes up to the last 10,000 years of our history. My academic position is the Vilas-Borghesi Distinguished Achievement Professor of Anthropology at the University of Wisconsin—Madison. Right now, I’m Associate Chair of Anthropology and an associate member of both the Department of Zoology and the J. F. Crow Institute for the Study of Evolution. I am a recent recipient of the UW’s H. I. Romnes Faculty Fellowship and its Vilas Associate award. I’ve been at the University since 2002, and I live outside of Madison with my wife, Gretchen, and our four kids.
