Connie Fellmann

Connie Fellmann is an Associate Teaching Professor in the Department of Anthropology and Geography at Colorado State University (CSU), part of the College of Liberal Arts. She specializes in biological anthropology with research interests spanning osteology, human and primate evolution, limb development, and the impact of environment on morphology and behavior.

Education:

• Ph.D. in Anthropology, New York University (NY)
• M.A. in Evolutionary Anthropology, Rutgers University (NJ)
• B.A. in Anthropology and Asian Language & Literature, University of Iowa (IA)

Research Focus: Dr. Fellmann’s work examines primate locomotion, particularly tail function in arboreal quadrupedalism, and integrates biomechanical analyses to understand evolutionary adaptations. Her studies bridge functional morphology and environmental influences on species behavior.

Teaching: She instructs courses including Human Origins and Variation (ANTH120), Introduction to Forensic Anthropology (ANTH281A1), Human Evolution (ANTH373), and Human Biology (ANTH472).
