Dr. Selby’s research focuses on the evolution of limb morphology. His interests are on the interpreting locomotor behavior from skeletal morphology. In particular, his research investigates the primate forelimb skeleton, to reconstruct the locomotor behaviors of ancestors to modern humans and great apes. He is also interested in the processes of skeletal development, as a way to determine how skeletal features arise, which can aid interpretation of fossil material.
