Binghamton University - Anthropology Department

G. PHILIP RIGHTMIRE

(PhD University of Wisconsin 1969), Distinguished Professor of Anthropology (also, from September 2006, Research Scholar, Department of Anthropology, Harvard University ) is a biological anthropologist with interests in skeletal biology, paleoanthropology, and human evolution. He has worked extensively with fossil remains from Africa and Asia and is particularly concerned with interpreting the Pleistocene record of the genus Homo . His current projects center on the origins of Homo , variation in African, West Asian and Far Eastern populations of Homo erectus , and the way in which this species may have evolved toward later humans. He is co-PI on an interdisciplinary project focusing on ancient humans, stone artifacts and animal bones collected at the site of Dmanisi, Republic of Georgia.
