CHARLES C ROSEMAN
Assistant Professor

I’m an evolutionary anthropologist. My research aim is to tease apart the confounding effects of phylogeny or population history/structure and natural selection on patterns of within and among population/species genetic and phenotypic diversity at various timescales. My active research projects include the comparison of patterns of human craniometric diversity and microsatellite diversity, an evolutionary analysis of modern human and Neandertal craniometric variation (PI: Tim Weaver at the Max Plank Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology, Leipzig), and integrating non-metric characteristics into the neutral theory of phenotypic evolution.
