Campbell Rolian - PI
I'm an evolutionary biologist who happens to study humans as a model vertebrate. Although humans are unique in many ways, as vertebrates we are subject to the same rules (or constraints) of physics, chemistry, and biology as any other organism. I am broadly interested in skeletal variation and what it can tell us about the evolutionary process. Variation is the raw material for evolution, but we still have a remarkably limited understanding of how variation is generated and structured, and how this structure in turn affects the ability of the skeleton to evolve. Most of my research is geared towards answering these questions, in other words, how as opposed to why evolution happens the way it does. CV
