Before coming to Yale in 1985 he had held research positions at the National Museums of Kenya in Nairobi, and at Harvard. He is interested in the whole range of human evolution, particularly in the environmental and ecological context in which it occurred. Since 1968 he has carried out field work in eastern Africa, in Pakistan, and in the United Arab Emirates. For many years he has directed the Baringo Paleontological Research Project, a multidisciplinary research program operating in the Tugen Hills, Kenya. This ongoing work was the topic of a special double issue of the Journal of Human Evolution in 2002, and he co-edited Fossil Vertebrates of Arabia in 1999 (YUP). He teaches courses on different aspects of human evolution, faunal analysis, and taphonomy. In 1994 he received the Yale College-Lex Hixon '63 Prize for Teaching Excellence in the Social Sciences.
