Jeffrey H. Schwartz
Jeffrey H. Schwartz, PhD, is a physical anthropologist and professor of bological anthropology at the University of Pittsburgh in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
Schwartz earned his doctorate from Columbia University in 1974. Schwartz' research involves the methods, theories, and philosophies in evolutionary biology, including the origins and diversification of primates. Schwartz has studied and analyzed human and primate skeletons and archaeological remains. Schwartz has focused much of his research on dentofacial morphology. Schwartz has done substantial fieldwork and museum research in the collections of major museums around the globe.
In the revised and updated publication of The Red Ape: Orangutans and Human Origins, Schwartz presents additional evidence for his contention Orangutans share significantly more morphological similarities to humans than any other great ape. His theory is controversial, especially in light of molecular evidence showing the chimpanzee to be more closely related to humans, supported by recent DNA analysis.
