Mapping the expanding landscape of the human fossil record
In short: Discover the work of Dr. Ian Tattersall as he documents the critical fossils that define our species' history and explores the origins of modern human cognition.
Dr. Tattersall is currently engaged in a multi-volume project alongside Research Associate Jeffrey Schwartz. This ambitious work aims to document major fossils within the human fossil record, creating a vital database for the American Museum of Natural History's analyses of hominid systematics.
As the human fossil record expands rapidly, such revisions to our understanding of hominid classification become essential. Beyond fossil documentation, Tattersall continues independent research into how modern human cognition emerged.
