Our Program
Duke evolutionary anthropologists are working to determine exactly what it is that makes us similar and different from our primate relatives. We apply our knowledge to understand how our body, brain and mind came to be and how our biology both enables and constrains us in our lives. By studying primate and human anatomy, endocrinology, genetics, behavioral ecology, and cognition we can inform discussions on many of today's most vexing societal problems. We are biologists dedicated to studying our past to serve our future.
Our students go on into careers in the sciences, health professions, advocates for science and evolution in the schools, or other natural science related fields.
