Thesis Title: The Influence of Habitual Athletic Activity on Diaphyseal Morphology in Modern Humans, and its Impact on Interpretations of Hominin Activity Patterns

Jay T. Stock

About

My primary interest is hominin skeletal morphology, and in particular post-cranial variation. Undergraduate and early Masters research in kinesiology and physiology developed into a passion for understanding hominin evolution. My MPhil and PhD, undertaken at the University of Cambridge, focused on the correspondence between athletic activity patterns and skeletal variation in humans. Previous post-doctoral research at The Department of Anthropology and The Center for Quantitative Imaging, The Pennsylvania State University, assessed both cortical and trabecular bone morphology in humans and non-human primates, and asks how morphology is influenced by general activity patterns. At present, I am involved in research projects with colleagues in the UK, France, USA, and Papua New Guinea.
