She does palaeontological research at the early Miocene sites on Rusinga Island, Kenya, where some of the most ancient fossil apes, such as Proconsul, are preserved \u2014 in this, she picked up where her retired doctoral adviser, Alan Walker, left off. She cut her palaeoanthropological teeth at Koobi Fora, Kenya, with initial interest in the evolution of Homo erectus. Since then, she has investigated the throwing ability of fossil hominins, analysed the functional morphology of Proconsul feet, and tested the \u2018obstetrical dilemma\u2019 hypothesis for human pregnancy evolution.
