Research

CARTA is a virtual organization that does not primarily fund, direct, nor organize research by its members. Rather CARTA seeks to facilitate transdisciplinary research to advance our understanding of human origins through its various operations. These include: 1) hosting public symposia on human origins and related topics; 2) offering a specialization track in anthropogeny to graduate students at UC San Diego; 3) curating a Museum of Primatology; and 4) compiling MOCA topics that highlight the differences between humans and the great apes, with an emphasis on uniquely human features. Many of these transdisciplinary interactions are reflected in CARTA-Inspired Publications, a list of research publications that would not have occurred if CARTA had not existed.
