Jeffrey Schwartz
Pitt anthropologist Jeffrey Schwartz discovered a new genus and species of primate. |

Bucking popular evolutionary theory, Schwartz asserts that all animals, including humans, share a set of regulatory genes. |

Using abrupt changes in fossil records as evidence of spontaneous creation, Schwartz's theory suggests that new species could appear suddenly and don’t require gradual evolution. While controversial, the Pitt professor's work has opened doors for geneticists, and he is considered a physical anthropology expert. When bones are discovered locally, police ask Schwartz to help with identification. |
