Dr. Leslea Hlusko is the Lead Researcher of the project TIED2TEETH: “Expanding our understanding of human evolution through pleiotropy” whose objective is to study the influence of the genes acting on dental variation upon aspects of human anatomy, and to apply this to the fossil record of the Iberian Peninsula and eastern Africa. The project TIED2TEETH will be pursued through an interconnected network of researchers from different fields of paleoanthropology, quantitative genetics, dental anthropology, paleoclimatology, archaeology, and similar disciplines, some of whom will work at the CENIEH and be led directly by the PI, while the rest are external collaborators from different European, American, and African research centers. The overall purpose of the contract will primarily be to conduct research tasks within the project TIED2TEETH, directed at analysis and modeling of dental anthropology data in association with genetic, climatological, and cultural parameters.
