ABOUT THE AUTHOR Dr. Robert George received his MS degree in gross anatomy from the Medical College of Virginia and his PhD in physical anthropology from the University of Washington. After completing his dissertation on the origin of primates from Paleocene insectivores, he began a peripatetic career teaching anatomy and kindred subjects in several medical schools, including Brown University, Harvard-MIT Division of Health Sciences and Technology, Kuwait University, University of Chicago, University of South Carolina, and Central Caribbean University in Puerto Rico. He now teaches medical and orthopedic anatomy at Florida International University in Miami. Dr. George's research interests have gradually shifted from comparative primate anatomy to forensic anthropology with a specialty in forensic facial approximation, a key subject of this book. His memberships in professional societies have included the American Association of Anatomists, the American Association of Physical Anthropologists, the American Academy of Forensic Sciences, the International Association for Craniofacial Identification, and Mensa/Intertel. When not teaching, consulting, or approximating, he enjoys writing fiction, portraiture, and has a passion for caricaturing. See less
