Lecture Me! Investigating Evolutionary Process in Human Evolution

Hybrids, Chance, and Adaptation: Investigating Evolutionary Process in Human Evolution by Professor Lauren Schroeder from the Department of Anthropology

The hominin fossil record is characterized by a remarkable amount of morphological variability. Although evolutionary processes have clearly acted to shape this variation, studies of the underlying cause have been limited, with little attention given to non-adaptive (genetic drift and gene flow) scenarios in traditional paleoanthropology. In this talk, Professor Lauren Schroeder will discuss two areas of her research program that aim to understand how non-adaptive processes have contributed to our evolution.
