Jeffrey H. Schwartz

Jeffrey H. Schwartz is Professor of physical anthropology and of history and philosophy of science at the University of Pittsburgh. He is also President-elect of the World Academy of Art and Science, a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and a Research Associate at the American Museum of Natural History.

In addition to over 150 articles and numerous books, including a history of evolutionary thought (Sudden Origins, John Wiley, 1999), he recently published the first study of virtually the entire human fossil record (The Human Fossil Record with I. Tattersall), a revised edition of The Red Ape, which explores the assumptions underlying molecular and morphological approaches to phylogenetic reconstruction, and a revised edition of his textbook on human osteology, Skeleton Keys. He also led a project to forensically reconstruct George Washington at three different ages for a new education center at Mount Vernon.
