Paleoanthropology has generated a great deal of debate on the                   functional and structural significance of the circumorbital                     region, especially the browridge, in the evolution of primate                   and hominid skulls.  Noone, however, has adequately tested                      models of browridge development.                                                                                                                                The researcher will test hypotheses relating to the adaptation                  of the circumorbital region to chewing stress and differential                  growth patterns in several primate species from both the Old                    and New World.  He will generate much needed empirical data on                  interspecific variation using biomechanical and nonmechanical                   models.                                                                                                                                                         This research will help physical anthropologists develop a more                 comprehensive perspective on the evolutionary morphology of the                 primate skull.  The data can then be used to generate more                      sophisticated models to explain hominid evolution.
