Hominid Paleobiology

GW offers the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Hominid Paleobiology (HomPal), a program that is part of a larger, multi-institutional program in Human Evolutionary Biology. The HomPal program includes faculty from the Anthropology and the Biological Sciences Departments and from the School of Medicine and Health Sciences. It is also closely linked with the Human Origins Program of the Smithsonian Institution, with the Department of Biology at the University of Maryland, and with the Carnegie Institution of Washington.

The HomPal program is based at the Center for the Advanced Study of Hominid Paleobiology (CASHP), 2114 G St. CASHP is a research facility. Its goals are to undertake strategic research that addresses fundamental problems and questions about human evolution that cross disciplinary boundaries, to act as a catalyst for the thematic research programs involving researchers from other centers around the world, and to promote interdisciplinary research through training and education.
