Sarah A Lacy, PhD

I am the newest biological anthropology faculty member at the University of Delaware. My doctoral work focused on oral pathology in Neandertals and early modern humans in the Late Pleistocene in Europe and Southwest Asia and broadly overlaps paleoanthropology, paleopathology, dental anthropology, Late Pleistocene archaeology, human-environment interaction, and the origins of health disparities. I am now working a new collaborative project on respiratory health and air pollution in the Paleolithic as well as excavating at Middle Paleolithic (Neanderthal) sites in the Republic of North Macedonia.

I was previously an associate professor at California State University Dominguez Hills (Los Angeles, CA) and assistant professor at the University of Missouri-St Louis.
