about us
The Animal Locomotion Lab in Duke University’s Department of Evolutionary Anthropology was established in the late 1990s by Daniel Schmitt and Pierre Lemelin.
The initial goal of the lab was to use an experimental approach involving human and non-human primates to investigate the function and evolution of gait within the order Primates.
Today, the lab continues to pursue these goals and has expanded its focus to ask larger questions about mammalian form and function, ontogeny, and non-primate models. In addition, our lab conducts clinically relevant research on joint disease and aging, osteoarthritis, and energetics of human movement.
The current director is Daniel Schmitt.
