The University of Chicago (2004-2005) M.A., Anthropology, University of Florida (1998) B.A., Anthropology, UC Santa Cruz (1995) Research Interests I am a biological anthropologist whose research focuses on human adaptation to environmental stressors, the influence of economic and cultural change on health (especially cardiovascular disease), and the evolution of the human diet. I am part of several large collaborative research teams and am involved in field research projects in northeastern Siberia, the Amazon region of Ecuador, and several locations within Oregon. I also direct a human biology research laboratory that focuses on the development and application of minimally invasive techniques (e.g., dried blood spots and saliva) for assessing health and physiology in population-based research.

Research Projects
Bones and Behavior I'm also a co-organizer (with Susan Antón of NYU) of the Bones and Behavior Working Group, and I manage the website bonesandbehavior.org. Our group is dedicated to fostering a greater synthesis across biological anthropology with the specific aim of developing integrative approaches to research questions concerning human and primate adaptation. (More info). Evolutionary Medicine Group I coordinate the Evolutionary Medicine Group, which is a discussion and project group that meets every other Friday during the academic year to discuss recent research in evolutionary medicine and to develop and pursue collaborative research projects. Click here for a recent article from Science on the evolution of the human diet, which discusses some of my research. Selected Publications Snodgrass JJ, Leonard WR, Tarskaia LA,
