Gerhard W. Weber

His current research activities centre on the evolution, growth and development of humans, their ancestors, and their closest relatives. Main focus is the quantitative analysis and comparison of hominoid skulls using geometric properties. Within the Department he leads the working group "Virtual Anthropology" (multidisciplinary extension of anthropology into the digital world), he has been field director several times of our plio-pleistocene investigations in Ethiopia, and he is coordinator of several research projects, including one just funded by the EU for € 3.3 Mio (EVAN).
