Terhune Discusses Research at Romanian Fossil Site
Claire Terhune
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – As a paleoanthropologist, Claire Terhune studies bones to gain a better understanding of how humans, primates and other mammals evolved.
Some of her work focuses on specific anatomy, such as the temporomandibular joint — the area where the jaw bone connects to the skull — and another, very different project tries to answer the question of when and where early humans migrated into Europe.
Terhune, an assistant professor of anthropology in the J. William Fulbright College of Arts and Sciences, discusses these projects and more in the latest edition of Short Talks From the Hill, a podcast from the University of Arkansas.
