Department of Anthropology

What makes us different is what makes us human..

Jeffrey H. Schwartz

Professor

Jeffrey Schwartz received his PhD from Columbia University in 1974.

He is a physical anthropologist whose research and teaching cover three major areas:

  1. the exploration of method, theory, and philosophy in evolutionary biology through focusing on problems involving the origin and subsequent diversification of extinct as well as extant primates, from prosimians to humans and apes;
  2. human and faunal skeletal analysis of archaeological recovered remains, particularly from historical sites of the circum-Mediterranean region; and
  3. dentofacial growth and development in Homo sapiens as well as mammals in general.

Schwartz has done fieldwork in the United States, England, Israel, Cyprus, and Tunisia and museum research in the mammal and vertebrate paleontology collections of major museums in the United States, Great Britain, Europe, and Africa.
