Evolutionary Morphology Lab

Evolutionary Morphology Lab

The Evolutionary Morphology Lab at the Washington University in St. Louis is dedicated primarily to analyzing the anatomy of living and extinct humans and non-human primates in order to better understand human origins and adaptations. The Lab can be thought of not simply as a space with equipment, but rather as a community of like-minded researchers.  Lab members work both independently and collaboratively on a variety of projects pertaining to biomechanics, systematics (including both the reconstruction of evolutionary history and the documentation of diversity and variation), biogeography, and evolutionary ecology (defined broadly).
