U. Michigan, Suny - Stony Brook, Washington U (St. Louis), Duke, UC Berkeley
all seem to have good programs with high placement rates for their
graduating students, but there are many other good programs across the U.S.
A. If you are interested in the evolution of modern humans, Stanford has an
exciting new program going.
If you are feeling more adventurous you should consider the University of
the Witwatersrand here in Johannesburg. We have fine academic facilities
and direct access to key fossils and fossil sites, as well as a more wide-
ranging program in human biology. Those of you who may be interested should
contact me directly, as I am the director of the graduate programme in the
Department of Anatomy and Human Biology.
