Bio

Daniel Lieberman is Chair and Professor of the Department of Human Evolutionary Biology at Harvard University, where is also a member of Department of Organismic and   Evolutionary Biology.  He was educated at Harvard (AB ‘86, PhD ’93) and Cambridge (M.Phil. ’97).  His research is on how and why the human body is the way it is, with particular foci on the origins of bipedalism, how humans became such superlative endurance runners, and the evolution of the highly unusual human head. To address these questions he combines experimental biomechanics and physiology, paleontology, and comparative anatomy. He teaches a variety of courses on human evolution, anatomy, and physiology. His most recent book is The Evolution of the Human Head (Harvard University Press, 2011).
