Mark Grabowski

Dr. Mark Grabowski is a paleoanthropologist and evolutionary biologist whose research focuses on the causes and consequences of macroevolutionary changes in morphology. Dr. Grabowski uses an approach that relies on measurement theory and statistics to provide insights into the evolutionary processes that produced the changes seen in fossil record and among living taxa today. Methods include quantitative genetics, evolutionary modeling, and phylogenetic comparative methods. Topics of interest include the origins and adaptations of our species and our lineage. Past field work includes searching for Miocene fossil apes in Creu Conill, Spain and Hammerschmiede, Germany, and Eocene Primates in the Great Divide Basin of Wyoming, USA. Dr. Grabowski is the Programme leader of the Joint MSc. Human Evolution Programme between LJMU and the University of Liverpool and former Co-Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Human Evolution.
