Welcome to my very simple web page. I am a physical anthropologist who is interested in issues relating to the analysis and interpretation of human population variation through skeletal morphology in general, and the biological problems of racial classification more specifically. The intent of this web page is to provide some basic details about who I am, and to make my academic publications and other contributions available for download should you be interested.
