 PaleoanthropologyAspects of cranial form may be diagnostic of cognitive function, sensory specialization, adaptations to climate, or dietary demands. Yet it is also clear that not all cranial–or more generally, phenotypic–variation is an outcome of natural selection. Both modern human cranial diversity and cranial differentiation between Neandertals and Homo sapiens are substantially consistent with predictions from the neutral theory of evolution. |  Experimental ArchaeologyPhotogrammetry and 3D technology is proving useful in other areas of Anthropology such as Paleoanthropological bone reconstruction. Current archaeological utilizations for the technology include museum curation, instruction tools, outreach, and research. |  KeckCAVESThe KeckCAVES provides an intellectual and computational framework for the visual exploration, manipulation, and creation of data and models. We develop and use visualization tools to gain insights into problems that are difficult to address using other techniques. |
