Jordan W. Crowell, PhD
Dr. Jordan Crowell is a Postdoctoral Fellow studying the initial diversification of mammals following the Cretaceous-Paleogene mass extinction. His work utilizes high resolution micro-computed tomography to document the anatomy of Paleogene mammals and elucidate their relationships to living groups of placental mammals. His current projects include resolving the evolutionary relationships of plesiadapiforms within Euarchonta (primates + colugos + treeshrews) and studying the remarkably well-preserved crania of “archaic ungulates” in the Denver Basin of Colorado. Jordan received his BA in Anthropology from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro and his PhD in Anthropology from The Graduate Center, City University of New York and the New York Consortium in Evolutionary Primatology.
