Research focus

Tracy Kivell is a paleoanthropologist whose research focuses on the evolution of the skeleton in living and fossil primates, including our human ancestors (hominins), to further our understanding of the evolution bipedal locomotion, manipulation and tool use throughout our evolutionary history. Tracy aims to better understand the relationship between bone shape and function through analyses of ontogeny (development), internal (trabecular and cortical) bone structure, and the biomechanics of primate locomotion.

Research Projects & Partners

Tracy Kivell’s research investigates the functional morphology of the postcranial skeleton and the hand specifically to better reconstruct of ape and hominin behaviour in the past. She leads the research on the Australopithecus sediba and Homo naledi hands fossils from South Africa. Tracy applies a variety of methods to understand relationship between bone form and function in extant and fossil primates, including the study of internal bone structure via microCT scanning, experimental biomechanics and musculoskeletal modelling, and the study living ape behaviour. This research is only made possible via numerous collaborative research partners.
