I investigate human evolution in its morphological and genetic aspects. During the last year I have been applying genomic data from humans to explain changes in natural selection on human populations. I also have been active in researching the fate of the Neandertals, including their genetic and morphological links to later populations.
I teach a range of courses from the introductory level to graduate level in biological anthropology, human evolution and genetics, and the evolution of human behavior. A list of courses, syllabi, and materials is available at my weblog, http://johnhawks.net/weblog/courses/
