Overview: A primary goal of biological anthropology is to understand the evolutionary processes behind primate and human adaptation and phenotypic diversity. Body size shifts over time may have contributed to primate diversification. adaptation to varied habitats and lifestyles. and encephalization. including in the hominin lineage. It is largely accepted that primates have followed a trend of increasing body size over time; however. size reduction (phyletic miniaturization) has convergently evolved within hominins and multiple primate clades.

OVERVIEW.The objective of the proposed research project is to evolve catalytic cycloaddition reactions that originate through metallovinylcarbene [3+n]-cycloaddition processes in new directions. We will develop transformations made possible with [3+n]-cycloaddition products. will advance Br??nsted acid catalyzed cycloaddition reactions for efficient. previously unattainable molecular constructions. and will use novel chiral donor-acceptor (D-A) cyclopropanes for cycloaddition that occurs with retention of configuration.
