At Western Washington University’s Primate Evolution Lab, new research led by Assistant Professor of Anthropology Tesla Monson is looking into the relationship of primate cranial shape and eye orbits and how these features evolved and changed the vision of early proto-humans to help them succeed.
Monson, who completed her doctorate in Integrative Biology at the University of California, Berkeley, said the skull contains more than just the brain, it holds almost all of the special senses like vision.
