Biography

Keegan Selig is an Assistant Professor in the College of Arts and Sciences at Texas A&M University. His research primarily focuses on Biological Anthropology, with particular interests in dental morphology, dental development, and the evolution of primates. His current research projects investigate the relationship between the form and function of teeth and how the shape of an animal's teeth can provide insights into its diet and ecological adaptations. Selig examines living species, especially primates and treeshrews, to understand dietary adaptations, and he aims to utilize findings to reconstruct the diets of extinct species. He also explores the evolutionary developmental biology of teeth, delving into questions regarding molar size, complexity, and the genetic mechanisms that govern these traits. Selig earned his PhD from the University of Toronto in Canada in 2021.
