Rolf Quam

Rolf Quam is a paleoanthropologist whose research focuses on evolutionary aspects of anatomical differences in the temporal bone, mandible and teeth in our fossil human ancestors. In particular he has been actively involved in recent attempts to reconstruct the hearing capacities in fossil humans. During the course of his research, he has had the opportunity to personally study a wide diversity of original human fossils from Europe, the Middle East and Africa. He participates in the ongoing fieldwork being carried out at the Pleistocene locality of Atapuerca in northern Spain. These sites contain some of the richest human fossil bearing deposits in the world and have recently yielded the oldest human fossil ever found in Europe.

Fall 2009 Courses: ANTH 335 Human Origins; ANTH 480K/546 Human Paleontology
