Marc Meyer

Not to be confused with arts manager and curator Marc Mayer.

Marc R. Meyer is an archaeologist and anthropologist who is notable for his excavation of, and research into, the remains of fossil hominids such as Australopithecines and early genus Homo. He currently lectures at Chaffey College, Rancho Cucamonga, CA.

Doctoral dissertation

Functional biology of the Homo erectus axial skeleton from Dmanisi, Georgia is the title of Marc Meyer' thesis, completed in 2005 at the University of Pennsylvania.[1]
