Expertise

Specialty & Interests: Biological Anthropology

Research Interests

  • Evolutionary-developmental biology, skeletal biology, craniofacial evolution, genotype-phenotype relationship and 3D geometric morphometrics. Dr. Nandini Singh is a physical anthropologist, with a specialty in human and non-human ape skull development and evolution.

I am also interested, and currently working on, the effects of behavioral variables on cranial morphology as it relates to the process of domestication.

Current Projects and Research

  1. Co-evolution of morphology and behavior
  2. Trisomy and the midface
