Daniel Schmitt, PhD

I am a professor in the Evolutionary Anthropology department at Duke University and the founder of the Animal Locomotion lab.
My primary interest is in the evolution of primate locomotion. I am studying the mechanics of movement in primates and other vertebrates in the laboratory to understand the relationship between movement and postcranial morphology, and the unique nature of primates among mammals. Current projects include the origins of primate locomotion and the evolution of vertebrate bipedalism. |
