Biography
Kaye Reed is a President’s Professor and director of the School of Human Evolution and Social Change. She is also a research associate with the Institute of Human Origins at Arizona State University.
Reed's main research interest is in using community ecology of primates and mammals as a research tool to 1) understand living diversity and biogeography across continents and within regions, and 2) use the identification and analyses of mammalian fauna from Plio-Pleistocene hominin localities to understand community structure through time and across space, and to 3) reconstruct the habitat of fossil hominins. Current field research is focused on early hominin sites ( Australopithecus afarensis and early Homo ) in the Afar Region of Ethiopia and understanding the behavioral ecology of hominins that used bifacial technology in the Pleistocene of South Africa.
