个人简介
William R. Leonard is the Abraham Harris Professor and Chair of the Department of Anthropology, and the Director of the Global Health Studies Program at Northwestern University. Dr. Leonard received his bachelor’s degree in Biology from the Pennsylvania State University, and his Master’s and PhD in Biological Anthropology from the University of Michigan. He has done extensive research on aspects of nutritional health, energy metabolism, and child growth and development among human populations around the world. He has conducted research among indigenous agricultural populations of highland and lowland regions of South America (Bolivia, Ecuador, and Peru), and among traditional herding populations of Siberia. His research has shown how both environmental (e.g., altitude, cold, heat) and social factors (e.g., poverty) shape human biology and health. Additionally, his work has explored how the transition to a “modern” (Western) diet and lifestyle influences the development of chronic health problems. Leonard’s work has also drawn on information from human and primate ecology to develop models for examining the evolution of nutritional requirements in our hominin ancestors. These models have provided important insights into the origins of obesity and metabolic diseases among modern human societies.
