Sarah graduated from Cambridge with an MA in biological anthropology and a PhD in primate palaeobiology and functional morphology. She comes to HYMS after four years as a lecturer in biological anthropology at the University of Kent.
Sarah’s research focuses on primate palaeobiology, functional morphology and variations in Old World monkey morphology in space and time. She is currently working with Dr Andrea Cardini, a Leverhulme Postdoctoral Research Associate, and other researchers at the Universities of Liverpool and Durham, on a large project examining biological and behavioural variation in modern African Old World monkey species, with a view to using these data in models for human evolution.
Sarah is also involved in a project with researchers at Liverpool John Moores University to examine mammalian dispersals out of Africa in the Pleistocene.
