These days I describe myself as an Evolutionary Comparative Anatomist. Also an archaeologist and biological anthropologist by training/experience. SL in Biomedical Science at ARU, Cambridge. My lab does fun 3D imaging and morphometrics.
This collection is one of the largest collections of mammalian larynges, and it’s a project we are all very excited about! Please reach out to us if you have questions before applying!

The project will focus on the evolution of the mammalian larynx. We’re looking for applicants with a can-do attitude and technical expertise related to the project, this will involve contrast #CT scanning and #morphometric analysis of the Harrison collection

We modelled how early human ancestors ran – and found they were surprisingly slow
There has been much debate over the years as to exactly how “Lucy” walked.

Human evolution: Run Lucy, run!
Endurance running is thought as critical for the evolutionary success of hominins. A new study analysing the running skills of the famous ‘Lucy’ — Australopithecus afarensis — finds that they performed poorer than modern humans, suggesting that key features of the human body plan evolved specifically to improve running performance.
