Larry has an undergraduate degree in Paleontology from the University of California at Berkeley, Ph.D. in Organismal Biology and Anatomy from the University of Chicago, and was a Post-Doctoral Fellow in the Ecology and Morphology group at Brown University. He has 25 years of experience teaching biology as well as anatomy to doctors and other health care professionals in both the U.S. and Ecuador. He has a long-standing interest in human evolution and how an urbanizing population can adapt to drastic lifestyle changes. Given a 20-year connection with the country of Ecuador, Larry is especially fascinated by the Global South-Global North binary, and how that affects human quality of life and the educational process.
