In this project, Dr. Dagosto will study approximately 200                       postcranial skeletal remains of specimens of the genus                          Hemiacodon.  This is a form of early primate which inhabited both               Europe and North America during the Eocene period.  Dr. Dagosto                 will visit museums in both the United States and Europe which                   contain these specimens.  She will describe and measure them to                 produce a comprehensive assessment of the limb skeleton in order                to:  1. assess variation among species; 2. reconstruct locomotor                and postural behavior; 3. test competing ideas on the taxonomic                 place of these groups within the primate order.  While research                 has been conducted on Hemiacodon cranial remains, postcranial                   materials remain undescribed.  Relatively little is known about                 the early stages of the development of the primates and the                     position of the group to which Hemiacodon belongs has been much                 debated.  This research should help to resolve this issue and                   provide new insight into the emergence of the human lineage.
