Abstract

Finally, Section VI highlights multiple anthropology students’ research posters presented at the Undergraduate Research Conference and/or in Honors ANTH 415: Human Evolution, Fossils, and DNA in Spring 2025 and Fall 2024, respectively. All of these projects were mentored by Dr. Samantha McCrane. When browsing through these research projects, readers will get a sense of the broad scope of biological anthropological research across sub-fields such as genetic and forensic anthropology, biomechanics, and neurology, as well as the practical applications of anthropological knowledge and methodologies beyond academia.
