"Reconstructing Human Origins" gives students a solid grounding in fossil evidence for human evolution and how that evidence is interpreted in modern paleoanthropological research.
Professor Conroy integrates the impact that recent advances in such areas as radiometric dating, functional morphology, molecular biology and archaeological inference have had on modern interpretations of how hominins lived and dispersed across the globe during the Pliocene and Pleistocene epochs of the last 5 million years.

Glenn C. Conroy (Ph.D. Yale University) has served as Course Master of Human Anatomy and Development in the Medical School at Washington University, where he is professor of anatomy and anthropology. His research analyzes paleontological evidence for primate evolution, particularly over the past 15 million years of Earth history. Of particular interest is the time period between 15-5 mya, the temporal framework within which humans and African apes diverged. His research team in Namibia has discovered the first Miocene hominoid ever found in sub-equatorial Africa and has also collected one of the most extensive middle Miocene faunas from Africa. He is author of Primate Evolution (1990) as well as numerous research articles.
