Pat Shipman

Dr. Shipman is an internationally-recognized expert in the taphonomy, the study of how living animals are transformed into skeletons and then fossils. Her research focuses on learning how to reconstruct the ecology of ancient environments from preserved fossils and how to determine whether the fossils in an assemblage are the remains of the activities of early human ancestors or not. She pioneered the use of scanning electron microscopy in diagnosing cutmarks on archaeological or fossil bones. Shipman's research as involved fossil and archaeological bone assemblages from Kenya, Tanzania, Ethiopia, Italy, France, Indonesia, and various sites in North and South America. She was part of the team that established convincing proof of cannibalism in Neolithic France and also identified the earliest known bone tools in the world. In recent years, she has written several books for general audiences. The topics include the history of anthropology and the discovery and interpretation of fossils. She is fascinated by the question: who makes discoveries and how they are interpreted? Why is one discovery widely accepted and another rejected? She has written three biographies: one of Eugene Dubois, the Dutch anatomist who discovered the "missing link"; one of Florence Baker, a Victorian lady who explored Africa searching for the source of the Nile; and one of Mata Hari, the infamous Oriental dancer and convicted World War I spy. She has also written popular books about Neandertals, race,Homo erectus, and the fossil ape, Proconsul. She plans to tackle the controversial questions about what makes us humans and what has shaped our evolutionary history for her next book.
