OverviewAI-generated summary
Lucas K. Delezene is an Associate Professor at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville whose research focuses on human evolution, with a particular emphasis on the fossil record and hominin dental morphology. His work investigates the evolutionary history of human ancestors and related species, drawing on discoveries from key paleontological sites in Africa. Recent publications include a descriptive catalog of Homo naledi dental remains from South Africa and an analysis of enamel hypoplasia in Homo naledi, reappraised in light of new Retzius periodicities. He has also published on new discoveries of Australopithecus and Homo from Ledi-Geraru, Ethiopia, and examined sex-biased sampling influences on Homo naledi tooth size variation. Dr. Delezene's research network includes collaborators at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, such as Amelia Villaseñor and Peter S. Ungar. His scholarship metrics include an h-index of 17, with 45 total publications and 1,634 total citations.
