About

Marianne Cooper, PhD, is a biological anthropologist and evolutionary morphologist currently working on Dr. Monson’s and Dr. Brasil’s NSF-funded project on circumorbital integration. Her research focuses on how covariation between different parts of the skeleton has shaped morphological evolution in primates. Prior research projects include investigating cranial and pelvic co-evolution in anthropoid primates, examining evolutionary processes affecting the hominoid limbs, and analyzing integration in non-human hominid cranial ontogeny.
