  4. Dr. Schwartz is a professor of physical anthropology and history and philosophy of science at the University of Pittsburgh and research associate at the American Museum of Natural History. He recently published the first study of virtually the entire human fossil record (The Human Fossil Record series with I. Tattersall) and a revised edition of The Red Ape, which explores the assumptions underlying morphological and molecular approaches to phylogenetic reconstruction.
