Rossie will talk about his field research at Lake Turkana, and occasionally with the Baringo Paleontological Research Project, aimed at improving our knowledge of ape and human evolution between 14 and 6 million years ago.
ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Raised in the North Country of New York, James Rossie took an interest in human evolution in college, went to the Koobi Fora Field School in 1995, and then to graduate school at Yale where he was trained by Andrew Hill. While there he met many excellent people, including John Kingston and Laura MacLatchy. After a 3 year post-doc at the Carnegie Museum, Rossie joined the faculty at Stony Brook in 2005.
