Frederick Grine

Frederick Grine is a Professor at the Renaissance School of Medicine, Stony Brook University, within the Department of Anatomical Sciences. His research focuses on hominin evolution, phylogeny, dental morphology, and enamel microstructure, particularly in the context of species recognition and dietary reconstruction in Pliocene and Pleistocene hominins.

Education:

• PhD, University of Witwatersrand, 1984

Dr. Grine investigates dental microwear patterns to infer early hominin diets and examines enamel thickness and microstructure to understand evolutionary adaptations. His work also involves analyzing Middle Stone Age human fossils from southern Africa to explore the emergence of modern humans.
