Jeffrey McKee

Jeffrey McKee is Professor in the Department of Anthropology at Ohio State University. A physical anthropologist, he researches hominid evolution and paleoecology through excavations at sites like Taung and Makapansgat and computational modeling.

His work analyzes evolutionary processes through fossil records and ecological contexts. Research interests include computer simulations of speciation/extinction patterns and analysis of South African fossil deposits.

Recent publications examine paleoanthropological methods, human evolutionary catalysts, and fossil record interpretation. Articles blend field-based paleontology with computational approaches to understand human origins.
